What is some of the best ADHD advice you've ever gotten? Or do you have any strategies you've found help you that might benefit others?

✨️I want to create a mega thread of general ADHD advice for navigating our brains and society.✨️

*My first tip is to keep track of veggies & other food that needs to get eaten on a white board on the fridge.
I also made a chart so my partner remembers where to put things so they don't get lost & forgotten about.

A therapist said to close her door if we don’t want to see it but it’s more than that. She needs this important life skill & I don’t know how to help. Easier to organize w/o her but that’s not a solution.
