“I’m such a restless sleeper, my cognitive functioning rarely gets up to speed before 10 a.m. To resolve this, I created a morning routine fit for people with ADHD.”
First, I recommend asking a partner or roommate to make you a double espresso and a light breakfast. A push into the shower is also appreciated .a coffee first thing in the morning makes the difference between a good start to the day and one that feels like a screaming toddler is constantly kicking you. It’s such a little thing, but it’s the cornerstone of a great relationship, leaving us with that “someone loves me” glow all morning.
My old housemate hated mornings more than I did. I’m far too chatty for her before midday, and I’m not exactly providing blockbuster content, so we made the “10 a.m. rule.” We wore noise-cancelling headphones until we felt sociable, or it was 10 a.m. It takes a little practice. The wearing and removal of the headphones signal that you’re ready to start your day or communicate.
Listening to music is also stimulating and rhythmic, so it helps wake you up and gives you a sense of timing – two tracks in the shower , one while you’re brushing your teeth, four for breakfast, and you’re off. For the “10 a.m. rule” to work, it’s important to have something scheduled around 10 a.m. – a job-related meeting or deadline, plans with a friend, or a class.The “10 a.m. rule” has also helped me acclimate to my workday and prevented me from getting distracted on the job. After the obligatory “good mornings,” it is much easier to settle in listening to some good tunes, and I have no impulse to interrupt a conversation with an anecdote or comment when I’m wearing my headphones.
