Hi 👋 ! My Name is Alice, I created The Mini ADHD Coach in August 2020 when I was just diagnosed with ADHD at 29.
After years of questioning, therapy, burnout, and chaotic career path changes, I finally understood why I struggled with so many things.
So I decided to share what I learned to raise awareness around ADHD and help the ADHD community thrive.

Have you been struggling with your daily life because of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder?

ADHD can affect millions of adults worldwide, causing daily struggles that can have a significant effect on their personal and professional lives. Either in our work, home, or environment, ADHD symptoms can sometimes contribute to struggles and make our daily living more challenging.

How Does ADHD Affect our Work?

ADHD can affect work in several ways. Adults with ADHD may struggle with focusing on tasks, managing their time effectively, and organizing their workloads. This can lead to missed deadlines, poor quality of work, and difficulties in completing projects.

Constant Hobby Change
People with ADHD often change hobbies because they have a natural tendency towards novelty-seeking and hyperfocus. This means that they may become intensely interested and absorbed in a new hobby or activity but lose interest once the novelty wears off. Individuals with ADHD may also struggle with boredom and require constant stimulation to feel engaged and motivated.

Grocery Shopping: Relieving or Stressful?
Some people with ADHD may enjoy grocery shopping because it provides a stimulating and sensory-rich environment with lots of interesting sights, sounds, and smells. However, others may find grocery shopping overwhelming or frustrating due to challenges with focus, organization, and decision-making.

Are Adults with ADHD Prone to Driving Accidents?
ADHD can impact driving skills in a variety of ways, so whether or not adults with ADHD are good drivers can vary depending on the individual. Some studies suggest that adults with ADHD may be at higher risk for driving accidents and violations, possibly due to challenges with attention, impulse control, and decision-making.

The ADHD Struggle with Time Management
Time management can be a significant struggle for individuals with ADHD. People with ADHD often experience challenges with prioritizing tasks, estimating how long tasks will take, and following through on plans and goals. This can lead to difficulties with meeting deadlines, being on time for appointments, and completing tasks efficiently.

Financial Management
Managing finances can be a significant challenge for individuals with ADHD due to difficulties with organization, planning, and impulse control. People with ADHD may struggle to keep track of bills, create and stick to budgets, and avoid impulsive or reckless spending.

In summary, ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder that can impact various aspects of an individual's life, including but not limited to work, hobbies, time management, driving skills, and finances.

People with ADHD may struggle with focus, organization, impulse control, and decision-making, which can lead to daily challenges and difficulties.

However, with proper treatment and management strategies, individuals with ADHD can learn to effectively manage their symptoms and thrive in their personal and professional lives.

And remember, you are not alone in your struggles. Find people that can help you thrive with these challenges.
