Answering this question about ADHD:
This is an example of accepting that you can’t change something, but you can make strategies to help you cope with it. (But medication might help somewhat.)
1. Write everything down on a card, folded paper, or notebook, that you have with you at all times, and never leave it in another place. Or put it in your smartphone. (Write legibly.)
2. Use smartphone apps – calendar, alarms,etc.
3. Post colored stickeys on mirror, cabinet, refrigerator, etc. Move them often.
4. For very important things, also ask someone to remind you. (Someone without ADHD.)
good luck.

Poem of the day:
I stopped what I was doing
and stood and looked out the window.
That’s when I saw the hummingbird.

Hi Doug
If you got diagnosed so late in life, I assume you have inattentive ADHD. I am interviewing men with Inattentive ADHD and plan to write an article. Would you be willing to be interviewed?
