She Offers Personal Tips and Tricks . . .

These tips are Donovan's way of helping other people with ADHD understand the way they think, and showing them "how they can use how they think to bypass some of the struggles." For example, some of her tips — like rolling a dice to decide which intimidating task to do first — make a boring to-do list more fun and engageing.

Donovan's personal favourite TikTok in her library is a step-by-step guide on how she "tricked herself" into becoming a morning person. It's simple but effective.

She sets different alarms to get out of bed on time, with each alarm pertaining to a different activity that helps to ease her awake. "We get the same advice over and over again about 'don't snooze your alarm, and don't look at your phone first thing in the morning,'" she said. "For me it's like, I've got to snooze my alarm." It's about giving other people with ADHD "actionable advice that leans into their tendencies, instead of asking them to change their thought process."
