One thing Donovan said she, and the ADHD community at large, is starting to understand is that ADHD doesn't just affect one area of your life, like work or school. It can touch all of the "adult stuff... like relationships, your home life, your self-esteem, getting your oil changed," Donovan said. Repetitive, tedious tasks in particular don't "light up our brains," Donovan explained, and it helps to recognise that there's a reason why.
One of her series speaks directly to people with this struggle. Called "How I trick myself into getting sh*t done when I don't feel like it." It's Donovan's way of sharing her own personal strategies for getting through her to-do list.
The life hacks are alternatives for people who have tried the same old tips ("make a list," "check off things when you're done") with no results. "I think people are tired of getting the same advice over and over again," Donovan said.
