The more often those of us with #ADHD are reminded to do something we don’t know how to do,
or at a time when we can’t do it,
the more we get used to ignoring those reminders,
until at some point they’re no longer effective.
Reminders are only effective if they prompt us to action. Which a lot of the time, they don’t.
When giving/setting a reminder:
Include instructions
& necessary info with the reminder (i.e. if you need to make a phone call, include the # & what to say)
When being reminded:
Take *some* action when the reminder happens.
