What would be the ideal day for someone with ADHD?

-Having a great night's rest of 8 hours.

-Wake up on time and pop out of bed.

Do not contemplate getting in the shower.

-Brush my teeth, do my hair, get dressed without having analysis paralysis.

-Not have every second filled with my phone in my hand because it distracts me so well.

-Drive to work without having to veer all over from losing track of spatial recognition.

-Get to work early enough to prep my day without having to rush.

-See a stack of work from the day before and think “I should get to that” and then proceeds to successfully get to it - and finishes it.

-Feel proud that I’ve tackled and completed everything from yesterday and transition to todays work.

-Go to the restroom without holding it for hours by accident because you forget your bladder and restrooms exist.
