Bracelet Hack for Productivity and Routine
ADHD Support / by aCalmOasis
Last post
 Monday
...See more Have you guys heard about the bracelet hack to improve productivity and create routines? Its as easy as getting yourself a bunch of colorful telephone cord style bracelets (as those are easiest to remove and put on). Then attach tags with your daily tasks on them. As you complete them one by one you get what you need to in your day done and feel a nice dopamine boost by accomplishing them. 💪 Once you finish a task simply remove the bracelet and place it in a jar or container to keep them there for the next day. The next morning you do it all over again. This sounds like a win win. People are swearing by it, but of course one size doesn’t fit all. If you have sensory issues then you may not be able to wear the bracelets at all, or maybe it makes you do the daily tasks even faster so you can get them off. I don’t know, I am just thinking out loud here. 🤷‍♀️ The only thing you will have to be sure to do is use the bracelets every day to develop the habit to stick. So in summary, if you find that you are struggling with routine, motivation and remembering all the things you need to do in a day, this just might be your answer! Has anyone tried this?

Ideas for the perfect Holiday gift for the ADHD’ers in your life, or yourself ;)

...See more In keeping up with the holidays, I thought to give you guys some ideas on what sort of presents are well suited for us neuro divergent folks. Pomodoro timer cube for productivity (just don’t lose it, ok?). Weighted or soft blankets for cozy comfort (anxiety's greatest foe). Green or matcha tea for energy (contains L-Theanine, keep charged but calm, sounds like an oxymoron but hey its true nonetheless). Psst..I drink a lot of this stuff. Smart water bottle (one that has a timer to remind you to drink or is self cleaning, or both!) Noise cancelling headphones for focus and productivity (say sayonara to unwarranted distractions) Key finder tiles for organization (now where did I put my phone, keys, wallet.) Instant pot or crock pot for easy meal prep (shut the lid and let the magic happen). Fidget toys or rings (because multi tasking is going to happen. It just is). A gift that relates to their most current hyper focus (Oh the possibilities are endless here).

Pomodoro for Productivity (say that five times fast)
ADHD Support / by aCalmOasis

 December 6th
...See more Yo! I can't believe I haven't done a post on the Pomodoro technique yet. 🍅😜 This is one of the go-to methods for increasing your productivity. Take a look at this infographic below. The basic idea is easy enough to understand. Now, when it comes to practically applying the technique, here is what I will do. I get my dopamine in first by doing something I like for about a half hour, then I start on my workload for the day using the Pomodoro technique. I find this works well for me. Has anyone else tried this? What was your experience? Let me know in the comments.

Exercise tips and hacks
ADHD Support / by aCalmOasis

 December 4th
...See more Here are some ideas on how to get an exercise plan working for you, as movement has been shown to have a positive effect on dopamine levels, and improve our executive functioning. Many will admit that regular exercise is an essential tool in their ADHD management. A good approach to maintaining an exercise program and stick with it is to switch your activities up. Having ADHD we tend to get bored easily and our brains are always on the lookout for what’s novel. So in that case, I think it is also important to really enjoy your activity of choice. If you don’t like biking, try swimming. If baseball isn’t really doing it for you, then switch it up for basketball. You get the idea. Keep trying things until you find a handful of activities that you can cycle through. I recently heard in a podcast how effective running is for many of us, we tend to feel the effects of a runner's high even more so than neurotypicals do. You can call a friend, or use a personal trainer which gets you using the buddy system to help keep you motivated and accountable. Alternatively, some people have found a lot of success in joining team sports, so if you are curious, join that soccer or baseball team! Over a period of time, you will have formed a habit and a healthy one which will bring you nothing but benefits for days, weeks, months and years to come. Feel free to share in the comments what has worked for you in maintaining your exercise program.
