I've been diagnosed with ADHD and I have the exact same coping mechanism. Another I have is to use Pomodoro timers and todo lists religiously. What other coping mechanisms do you have?

Similar. I put every appointment or meeting in my calendar immediately, take as many notes as I can, and keep to do lists by due date. For me a lot of it is just offloading things to my phone / computer because I know I will forget. If something isn't in my calendar it might as well not be happening. Doesn't matter what it is.

  > If something isn't in my calendar it might as well not be happening. Doesn't matter what it is. Out of sight, out of mind. Similarly, drawers and cabinets remove things from existence. Only a wall of open shelving will do. Is this ADHD, or something else ?

    I am the exact same way, both with calendars/notes and shelves. Weird!

      Avoid Ikea. Get the kinds of all-metal shelving that goes together with nuts & bolts. Then the only remaining challenge is to convince the wife to put them up in front of every wall.
