(2-minute read) As someone with ADHD, I know all too well how living with irregular attention can feel overwhelming, especially when everyday, seemingly simple tasks feel impossible to manage. The constant cycle of distractions, missed deadlines, and anxiety has left me feeling stuck, frustrated, + exhausted…with zero bandwidth for pursuing the things I really want to do, like cooking a healthy meal, pursuing the dream of writing a book, or tackling that homework project with my kid. When there’s just too many steps in a task, I often give up. And then I feel like crap. How about you?

Here’s one of my favorite techniques. It helped me complete my PhD:
The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that uses a kitchen timer or an app (there’s lots to choose from: Pomodor, Marinara Timer, Forest, Session…) to break work into intervals, typically 25-minutes in length, separated by 5-minute breaks. Working in chunks of time is super effective for folks with ADHD. Working for 25-minutes feels less overwhelming and more achievable, right? 25-minutes creates a sense of urgency: we often work best during right before something is due. We struggle with mental fatigue, so that 5-minute break offers a moment to recharge by shifting attention to something else. And 25-minutes of deep work also builds structure, routine, and self-awareness. After a few cycles of 25-minutes on, 5-minutes off, we actually have something to show for our effort, even if it’s just a few paragraphs in that research paper or a tidier kitchen. That feels good!
