If you look at ADHD people that are very successful they tend to have lots of help. Find ways to offload the stuff you struggle with. Get an ADHD coach, hire a personal assistant for a few hours a week. Get an accountant. Even things like undone laundry and housecleaning can put you in a state of mind that makes other things more difficult. So getting cleaners and laundry services are also helpful. The less complexity you have the easier it will be. > This is kind of the tragedy of ADHD. Other than medication, the things that help are often very expensive. While at the same time the ADHD makes us more likely to not have the financial resources to afford those things. - [Source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/comments/1at9a43/comment/kqvotyn/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) The more we externalize, the more we can prioritize the relevant information in our [[Working memory]]
