Did you ever go online to find the answer to a question, only to get up three hours later without the answer? If you have ADHD, I’ll bet this happens all the time. It’s easy to get lost on the internet.
An easy way to prevent this is to write your question on a sticky note and put it on your monitor. This will help you stay focused on it. Usually we get lost because we forgot the question. Or forgot we even had a question.
But what about all those juicy related sites you’re drawn to? All that information out there just waiting to be discovered? Go ahead and open the link in a new window or tab (right click on it.) Glance at the page, and if it looks useful, bookmark it so you can find it later if it still seems important. Then close the page. Quickly!
If this suggestion doesn’t work for you because you don’t notice the sticky note on your monitor, try holding it in your hand. Or clear the clutter on your desk so the note is more noticeable. I’ll offer some strategies for clearing clutter in a future edition of ADHD Solutions. Until then, may your path to the answer be unswerving!
