By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.

Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.

This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):

Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.

But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:

Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.

Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation

Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.

Meditation

Martial arts

Sports in general

Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)

Woodworking

Cooking

If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers

Things can be easier. You do not have to be stuck forever.

WHY HAVE I JUST GOT THIS AHHHGGGGGG

Y’all wanna know something kinda crazy that people tend to make fun of me for thinking?

Several years ago I was on a late night flight to Florida with my parents, and I decided to make a wish for 11:11. But just as I was about to make my wish I had an intrusive thought, and instead of making a wish that I actually wanted my brain instead thought “I wish the plane crashes!”

Now I’ve never fully believed in 11:11 wishes but I’ve always done them anyways for fun, but I still panicked because what if it came true for once?!?! So I quickly said to the universe (? idk) “no! I don’t actually want this plane to crash! I didn’t mean it!” And then I thought to myself “great, now a plane will crash.”

Thankfully nothing happened and we got to Florida safely.

Now, it’s the next night and we get back to our hotel room and my parents decide to turn on the news.

Imagine my shock and horror to see that a plane had crashed the day after we landed.

I, remembering the thoughts that were in my head the previous night, couldn’t help but think that I had somehow caused the crash because of my accidental wish. Like I wholeheartedly believed that I had accidentally killed people. And I fully believed that for a few years.

Now not really, but sometimes I have to stop and think about how fucked up of a coincidence that was.
