Hi! I’m the one making the visual guides.
I Post About ADHD started as a Pinterest board of the systems I kept sketching on sticky notes: ways to start the task, see the time, and get through hard days without the shame spiral.
Everything here is written the way I’d want it explained: short steps, real examples, and a minimum version for the days when everything feels like too much. I read the research, link my sources, and never pretend one fix works for everyone.
- Systems over willpower
- Every plan has a low-energy version
- Research first, lived experience labeled
With you on the hard days, @ipostaboutadhd
