\u201cI\u2019ll remember\u201d is the ADHD demon talking. You won\u2019t remember. Write it down. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Visual exhaustion is another symptom of ADHD, which means that if we see something enough times (or we see enough instances of something), it fades into background noise and we fail to notice it.<\/p>\n

This is why a lot of ADHD people can stand living surrounded by mess\/clutter, because it\u2019s just visual background noise to us. We don\u2019t even notice it anymore.<\/p>\n

So if we write something down and see the note stuck up somewhere a lot \u2013 or if we write a LOT of somethings down and have a lot of notes hanging around \u2013 then we\u2019re even less likely to think of\/remember the thing because it\u2019s just part of the scenery now.<\/p>\n

ADHD is the Catch-22 of brains.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

A very<\/i> good thing to know about ADHD. Don\u2019t fall into the trap.<\/p>\n

A lot of folks in the comments are talking about writing on themselves or setting phone\/calendar reminders. Your mileage may vary on those. You may also want to consider ways to set a habit of referring back to a planner or similar every day\/hour. <\/p>\n

To get those brain juices flowing, check out this Buzzfeed article on different ways folks with ADHD stay on top of things<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Readers, let us know if you have specific advice for this situation!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This is why sticky note reminders don\u2019t work??<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

OH MY GOD IT HAS A NAME.<\/p>\n

Like, I\u2019m not ADHD, but I am autistic, and I feel this so damn hard. It\u2019s such a relief to know that this is an Actual Thing, and not just me sucking.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
