How I Overcame Decision Fatigue on My Birthday (And How You Can Too)

Okay, let's talk about something real: decision fatigue. If you have ADHD, you'll know exactly what I'm saying.

It's that mental burnout that happens after making one too many decisions—big or small. You've probably had it happen when you're deciding what to wear, deciding what to eat for the day, or even deciding what to do on your birthday.

And trust me, that last one can get pretty messy.

I recently reached rock bottom with decision fatigue while trying to organize my birthday.

The short version: it was a hot mess.

But after all the hemming and hawing, I managed to sort out a way to wrestle the chaos back into control and push forward.

So I decided to share with you my story and how you can apply these techniques to remain out of the decision spiral.

Decision Fatigue + ADHD = A Recipe for Disaster

Decision fatigue sets in when your brain gets depleted from having too many options.

And if you have ADHD, that depletion is even greater because your brain is already working in overdrive to maintain focus and deal with tasks.

Small decisions turn into mountains. And the more decisions you must make, the worse it is.

I experienced this myself when I was planning to prepare for my birthday.

My original plan? A trip to Florida. Then a massive flight crisis struck as a result of one plane crash after another, and my anxiety skyrocketed completely.

I suddenly didn't know where I was heading or even what I would do.

Should I stick near home?

Should I be traveling somewhere else?

Should I just cancel everything and take a nap?

I was paralyzed by choice.

How I Survived My Birthday Decision Fatigue

This birthday choice started off with a whole lot of "What the heck am I going to do?" I couldn't figure out if I wanted to chill, relax, or some place more active but crowded.

Procrastination came in next. I was continually flipping my brain back and forth, but something didn't feel right.

I didn't want to go too crowded or too out there in the middle of nowhere. Then it hit me: keep it simple.

After much to-and-fro, I finally settled on a low-key plan: something simple.

With my husband's prodding (thank God for him), I chose something that was not too complicated and low-key.

And guess what?

It was just what I needed.

Sometimes, overthinking just adds to the stress.

But that wasn't the initial time I was overcome with decision fatigue that day.

When I visited to get my nails done, the same thing occurred. I hemmed and hawed about colors and designs for eternity. I'm talking about eternity.

Do I be bold?

Do I be basic?

Do I go neutral or bright?

Eventually, I told the nail technician to just freestyle the design, and guess what?

It turned out great!

Having the freedom of not having to decide on everything was a lifesaver.

What You Can Learn from This Chaos

I get it, options can appear to be piling up and you don't know how to break free from the madness. But there are ways of managing decision fatigue so that it doesn't manage your life. 

Below are some tips that work for me, and they can work for you, too:

1. Limit the Decisions You Make

This is huge for people with ADHD. The fewer choices you make, the higher. Start off by simplifying your routines—what you eat, what you wear, entertainment. For example, prepare all of your food for the week so you're not faced with making a daily choice of what to eat. If you plan out your wardrobe in advance, you won't be left spending hours gazing at your closet.

2. Use Tools to Stay Organized

Get some structure into your life. Checklists, calendars, and even ADHD-sanctioned apps can save you from spiraling. Writing down your to-do's keeps you organized regarding what needs to be done without needing to make a decision every time you think about it. Further, using timers or the Pomodoro Technique (work for 25 minutes, then break for 5 minutes) can keep you focused and work through tasks without being overwhelmed.

3. Just Prioritize

Not everything has to be a priority. It's easy to get overwhelmed in attempting to decide everything at one time. Rank what really does matter. Cut through the chaos and get on with the serious stuff first. Trust me, you don't need to muddle through all the decisions. My birthday? I made it easy because I knew the rest of the choices would just upset me.

4. Let Someone Else Take the Wheel Sometimes

This is a doozy. If you're in a rut, ask for help. Don't be afraid to let someone else handle something. I was trying to figure out what to do on my birthday, and my husband rescued me by pointing me in the direction of something low-key. Whenever possible, have someone else handle a decision or two, even something as minuscule as picking a nail color or where to eat dinner.

5. Use a Framework for Big Decisions

Having a plan helps a lot. If you're going to make a bigger decision (like travel plans or something work-related), use a simplified model to decide. If you're taking too long to decide, divide the decision into parts. I like to put time limits on decisions. If I don't figure it out within 10 minutes, I make a choice and stick with it.

6. Take Breaks—Seriously

Your brain needs rest, especially when you’re juggling a million decisions. Take frequent breaks throughout your day. Step away from work, take a walk, or even just lie down for a few minutes. This helps clear your mind and avoid feeling totally drained.

7. Give Yourself Permission to Say “I Don’t Know”

You don't have to make all of your choices perfect. Every once in a while, you can just let off the pressure. If you are stuck, feel free to say "I don't know" and try something else. The world won't end if you didn't select the perfect birthday vacation spot or nail color. Actually, accepting imperfection might make you less tense.

To sum it all up, decision fatigue isn't funny, especially when you have ADHD. But it doesn't have to control your life.

The trick is to keep it simple, have boundaries, and realize that not every decision needs to be "the right decision."

From my birthday adventure to getting my nails done, I learned that the best choices happen when you refrain from overanalyzing and simply let go of needing to be perfect.

So the next time you find yourself stuck in a decision-making mode, make it simpler. Prioritize what matters most, step away, and get help when you need it.

Trust me, it'll make a world of a difference.

How to Help Your Homeschool Child Get Organized (When You’re Brain is Unorganized)

The term "organized chaos" isn't just a catchphrase if you're anything like me; it's a way of life. I frequently feel like I'm barely surviving as a mom with ADHD who homeschools. Nevertheless, here I am, attempting to teach my children the same skill that I find most difficult: organizing.

I recognize the irony. The good news is that you don't need to be a naturally organized person to help your children learn how to be organized. Teaching them can actually be a learning experience for both of you. Even if you've never used a planner before, you can still come up with a method that works if you have a little humor, patience, and ingenuity.

Learning Alongside My Kids

I’ll be honest: when I first tried to get my child to organize his homeschool work, it was an absolute disaster. Papers everywhere, lost pencils, and forgotten assignments. I tried color-coded folders, elaborate schedules, and even bought a fancy planner, but within days, it all fell apart.

That’s when I realized I was approaching it the wrong way. Instead of trying to teach a system that I wasn’t even good at, I needed to make it a team effort. So, I reframed my approach:

💡 Instead of "Let me teach you how to be organized," I switched to "Let’s learn this together."

That one change made a world of difference.

1. Start Small & Keep It Simple

Burnout is inevitable if you attempt to change your homeschooling system all at once (for you and your child). Rather, begin with tiny, doable measures.

Choose one thing at a time—maybe organizing their daily assignments or setting up a routine for putting supplies away.

Set a timer for five minutes at the end of the day to do a quick tidy-up of the homeschool area.

What is working for us: We started with a "Clean Desk Challenge." At the end of school or when I want my 6-year-old to clean his toys, we set a timer and spend five minutes organizing our workspace. No pressure, no stress—just a quick reset. Small steps, big impact.

2. Make It Visual (Because ADHD Brains Need It!)

I cannot rely on memory alone to keep us on track. So, I turned to visual supports—the lifeline of every ADHD household.

📌 Charts, color-coded labels, and sticky notes are our best friends.

📖 What worked for us: We created a homeschool binder where my child can see everything at a glance. Inside, we have:

  • A checklist of subjects for the day

  • A simple, flexible "unscheduled schedule"

  • A place to store completed work so nothing gets lost

My son loves checking things off. It gives him a sense of accomplishment, and I love that it keeps him on track without me nagging.

3. Make It a Game (Because Fun = Engagement)

Let’s be real—if it’s not fun, ADHD brains check out. So, we turned organizing into a game.

🎯 How we do it:
We play a game called "Speedy Clean"—where we race against a timer to see who can finish their task first.

  • My job: Organizing the papers and books

  • His job: Sorting crayons, markers, and supplies into their proper spots

Guess who wins every time? Hint: It’s not me. 😂

🏆 Bonus Tip: Add rewards! Stickers, small treats, or extra screen time work wonders for motivation.

4. Lead by Example (Even If You Struggle)

This part is hard because—let’s be honest—if I were naturally organized, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. But the truth is, kids learn from what they see, not just what we say.

What worked for us: I started doing one small, visible habit every day—making my bed.

One morning, my son saw me doing it and proudly announced: "I’m going to make my bed too, Mommy!" It wasn’t perfect, but he tried, and that’s what matters.

Moral of the story: Your kids don’t need you to be perfect. They just need to see you trying.

5. Celebrate Progress (Not Perfection)

Organization isn’t about doing things perfectly every time—it’s about building habits.

🙌 How we celebrate: We have "Organization Fridays." Every Friday, we:

  • Do a quick reset of our homeschool area

  • Reflect on what worked that week

  • Treat ourselves to something fun (a movie, game night, or a treat)

These little victories keep us motivated and remind us that progress is more important than perfection.

Final Thoughts: Growing Together

Helping your homeschooled child get organized when you feel entirely unorganized yourself can feel impossible. But the truth is, it’s one of the most humbling and rewarding things you can do.

💡 You don’t have to be a master of organization to teach it. You just have to be willing to learn alongside your child.

💡 The goal isn’t perfection—it’s progress. And along the way, you’re teaching them not just how to arrange their schoolwork, but how to be resilient, adaptable, and problem-solving thinkers.

That’s a win for both of you.

ADHD Isn’t Just About Focus—It’s a Whole Different Way of Experiencing Life!

ADHD isn't just an issue of being hyper or having a problem focusing—it's about experiencing the world in an entirely different manner.

If you've got ADHD (or think you do), you already know it's not about forgetting your keys for the dozenth time or zoning out in the middle of a discussion.

It's the rollercoaster of hyperfocus one day and utter forgetfulness the next.

It's the struggle of time management, thought organization, and even relationship management.

Some days, you're unstoppable. On other days, you can't remember why you opened the fridge.

Ring a bell?

This vivid image captures a bustling city that never truly stops, where everyday life's vibrant hustle and bustle plays out like a never-ending show. The constant motion and clamor reflect the delightful yet chaotic whirlwind that characterizes the overactive mind of someone with ADHD. It's a beautiful mess, brimming with energy and excitement, yet it often overwhelms one in the vibrant maze.

What Causes ADHD?

ADHD isn’t just about “not trying hard enough” or “being lazy.” It’s a legit brain difference, and science backs it up.

Genetics Play a Big Role

If your parents or siblings have ADHD, there’s a good chance you do too. Studies show that it runs in families.

Brain Chemistry & Structure

Image of the brain lighting up with thoughts and different processes

Focus, motivation, and impulse control are all impacted by the variations in dopamine levels in the brains of people with ADHD. The "control center" of the brain, which is responsible for executive function, doesn't always function the same way in neurotypical brains.

Environmental Factors

  • Prenatal exposure to drugs, alcohol, or nicotine may increase the chance of ADHD.

  • Prenatal exposure to drugs, alcohol, or nicotine may elevate the risk of ADHD. Low birth weight and premature birth are linked to a higher likelihood of ADHD.

  • Some research suggests that early exposure to lead and other chemicals may also play a role.

ADHD Symptoms: The Three Big Categories

ADHD symptoms are usually grouped into three major categories: inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. You might lean heavily toward one or experience a mix of all three. Here’s what that looks like in real life:

Inattention Symptoms (aka The Scatterbrain Struggles)

  • You start a task with full enthusiasm, only to abandon it five minutes later because something else caught your eye.

  • Your workspace looks like a hurricane hit it—papers, coffee cups, and random objects everywhere.

  • You lose your phone, keys, or wallet at least twice a day. (And they’re always in some weird place, like the fridge.)

  • You space out in conversations, even when you’re genuinely interested.

  • You leave projects until the last minute, even though you know it’ll stress you out later.

  • Keeping a planner sounds like a great idea, but actually using it consistently? Not happening.

Hyperactivity Symptoms (aka The Human Energy Drink)

  • You tap your foot, click your pen, or bounce your leg constantly—sitting still feels like torture.

  • You interrupt people mid-sentence, not because you’re rude, but because your brain moves a mile a minute.

  • You get up and pace while thinking, watching TV, or even talking on the phone.

  • You talk a lot. Like, a lot. And sometimes realize you’ve been rambling for five minutes straight.

  • Sitting through a long meeting or lecture? Absolute nightmare.

Impulsivity Symptoms (aka Oops, Did I Just Say That?)

  • You say things without thinking, which can occasionally result in awkward circumstances.

  • You make spontaneous decisions without taking into account the advantages and disadvantages; sometimes they turn out well, and other times they go wrong.

  • You find it difficult to wait your turn in traffic, lines, or conversations. Very impatient because you feel like you are in a rush.

  • Purchases on impulse are your worst enemy when it comes to online buying, therefore it might be risky.

ADHD Ain’t a Weakness—It’s Just a Different Operating System

Having ADHD doesn’t mean you’re lazy, unmotivated, or incapable.

It just means your brain works differently, and you need to find strategies that fit your style.

Some of the most creative, successful, and innovative people in history had ADHD.

The key is learning how to work with your brain, not against it. Whether it’s medication, therapy, lifestyle changes, or a mix of everything, you can build a system that helps you thrive.

ADHD isn’t a roadblock—it’s just a different way of navigating the world.

Managing ADHD isn’t about "fixing" yourself—it’s about finding the right tools to work with your brain, not against it. 

That’s why I created an ADHD Planner to help you stay on track without overwhelm.

What Does ADHD Really Mean? How to Understand the Disorder

Have you ever felt like your thoughts are leaping over each other as a frog jumping over lily pads?

Or have you been unable to concentrate on any particular thing no matter how hard you try?

You are not even the first in the queue; there are many other people out there who live with ADHD, but that is not always how the condition manifests itself - this is actually quite far from the "hyper kid" stereotype that most of us hear.

ADHD isn't just about being distracted or impulsive. It's something that affects your whole life instead.

You will need to understand it much more than just how it happens in the brain of those directly affected and how this sometimes ties to school, friends, or even what career one can choose from.

The unique ADHD brain has thoughts that are all over the place and unorganized from old to new (not in that order).

What Exactly Is ADHD?

At its essence, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a neurodevelopmental disorder. That means it impairs an individual’s ability to have normal development and functioning of the brain in areas like attention, focus, and self-regulation.

It's generally regarded as a childhood disorder, but many adults are still very much affected by ADHD, some without knowing until years later. 

Some of the targets that people diagnosed with such an impairment will generally have problems with include task completion, memory for details, impulse control, or even simply being still when needed.

However, ADHD is not going to manifest itself the same for everybody; there are different ways it can present itself.

Individuals may have one symptom while others may encounter the entire battery of challenges.

The Three Most Common Types of ADHD

As with virtually every other disorder, ADHD expresses itself differently, and doctors mostly classify the condition into three types, according to which symptomatology predominates.

Let's look into the three major recognized categories of ADHD:

1. ADHD, Inattentive Type

Truly typical for most girls, but in fact, it's largely neglected and even missed because it is not accompanied by the hyperactivity that most people associate with the condition.

People with the inattentive type tend to be primarily affected by their inability to pay attention because they are forgetful and easily distracted.

Their inability to finish tasks, misinterpret directions, or keep track of things is disturbing for them. 

Identifying the disorder early is harder for a person who does not talk loudly or disrupts.

Symptoms are less visible, which can make it seem bad when interpreted as laziness or lack of effort.

With children, it might appear as daydreaming in class or seeming "spaced out," but with adults, this could manifest as forgotten meetings or deadlines that come and go.

Example: Some students tend to be inattentive in class, as they rarely try to pay attention during lectures. Regularly forget to submit homework, and have difficulty organizing their study activities.

This is the inattentive type of ADHD.

They may not be acting out or disruptive, but a struggle to concentrate can affect their academic ability with the increment of frustration on the part of teachers and parents.

2. ADHD, Hyperactive-Impulsive Type

Hyperactivity and Impulsivity are the defining characteristics of this type. People with this type of ADHD can never sit still.

They feel restless most times, talk too much, and act impulsively without thinking through the consequences.

Such symptoms make this type of ADHD probably the most conspicuous, particularly in children, when they transform into "always on the go or have to be scolded because they make impulsive decisions." 

People with spastic-impulsive kind of ADHD may interrupt a conversation, blurting out the answers without raising their hands, or may be very easily irritated if something does not happen in someone's way.

As adults, they might be having problems controlling impulses while socializing, think twice before making random decisions regarding buying an impulse item that disturbs their serenity, or become easily annoyed when they feel they're losing their grip on the situation.

Example: An individual with ADHD, hyperactive-impulsive type, may find it difficult to sit in a classroom, interrupt conversations, or blurt out answers without waiting for their turn.

As adults, it may turn into a degree of impatience, talking out of turn, or a disposition to disregard the thoughts of how their actions affect others.

3. ADHD, Combined Type

Almost everyone is aware of the fact that ADHD has a little bit more than just inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity under its umbrella.

The one form of combined-type ADHD is a blend of manifestations resembling the other two types.

The symptoms include the inability to concentrate on things-they become quickly distracted-but they also are restive, impulsive, and have difficulty sitting still.

Combined-type ADHD usually poses unique problems; the individual feels tugged in two distinct directions between paying attention to a task and feeling an urge to be moving about or acting impetuously.

This could lead to difficulties in the completion of tasks and organization, as well as consequences on important commitments.

Example: People with combined-type ADHD may have trouble finishing tasks, forgetting important dates, or getting distracted by outside stimuli; however, at the same time, they may engage in impulsive behavior, such as calling out in meetings, jumping from one task to the other and failing to complete any, or simply not sitting still for long.

The 4 Lesser-Known Types of ADHD

While the three main types are the ones most often discussed, variations of ADHD that are not-so-commonly heard and talked about abound.

These types do not formally belong to an official diagnosis category, but they explain how ADHD can present in its unique and oftentimes, misunderstood forms.

These are intriguing and if you do not resonate with the first three, here are the lesser-known types.

1. ADHD, Overfocused Type

This type becomes hooked upon a particular task, thought, or idea, whereby changing attention amounts to doing something very difficult.

This may translate into perfectionism, worry, or an inability to release an idea even if it had had unproductive consequences.

An individual with an overfocused ADHD may from time to time get trapped into repeated thought patterns, being unable even to release tiny mistakes or past disappointments. 

Such people might get so immersed in a current detail as to lose touch with the great extent that could either be at work or in full-blown relationships, or even self-care.

They may end up feeling pretty much distressed and anxious if ever they fail to solve a headache or end something to their very own standards, which may result in burnout.

Persons suffering from overfocused ADHD are excellent in concentrating on one thought, one task, or one idea to the point that changing their attention to anything else is about impossible.

It will lead to perfectionism, over-worry, or an inability to let go of an idea that is no longer productive. Individuals thus "stuck" get really trapped into repetitive thought patterns. They often lack the capacity to forget the small mistakes or past disappointments.

For them, sometimes keeping track of too much detail loses the big picture-as in work, relationships, or even in the area of self-care.

They are frustrated, anxious, and often burned out because they usually have not managed to fix a problem or complete something to their own specs requirements.

Example: We all know such people who toil on a project for hours, sparing no effort in fine-tuning it even when it is done.

They may drag their feet on leaving behind anything that's remotely imperfect or detail-crazy and find themselves lost in this trap of not moving on to the next task.

2. ADHD, Rejection Sensitive Type

Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) is a condition that creates acute sensitivity to real or imagined rejection, criticism, or failure and can be generally found in individuals with ADHD.

Unlike rejection, the strong emotional response elicited by failure maintains, feelings of hopelessness, anger, or deep guilt being felt by the individuals who experience it the most. 

They may regard constructive criticism as an affront to their self-image.

For example, they might avoid situations in which they might feel rejected or criticized or become upset at the slightest hint or suggestion of criticism. It interferes with relationships throughout their life.

Example: An adult with RSD-ADHD is likely to be broken down by the constructive criticism received at work. This is quite ironic, because it's supposed to help and not otherwise.

However, this adult will avoid certain situations that are likely to trigger such feelings as, for instance, having to try new things such as looking for another job-qualified applicant or some comparable social inputs.

Such performance in an adult person with rejection-sensitive ADHD could very easily leave a person devastated after he/she receives constructive feedback at his/her workplace.

Even though it is meant to help the person do better or improve, the outcome does not leave the person feeling encouraged having heard the bad criticism at work.

That person may avoid some situations that may invite fear of judgment, or he/she would avoid applying for jobs, new ones, and perhaps social engagements out of fear of rejection or criticism.

3. ADHD, Creative/Innovative Type

This type of ADHD tends to coincide with limitless creativity and out-of-the-box thinking, partly because there are difficulties implementing and executing their ideas.

While creativity may be an asset, focusing, planning, and executing are the challenges.

This type of ADHD is often seen in entrepreneurs, artists, and other highly creative individuals.

These people might hop from one creatively stimulating idea to yet another without any follow-through.

They could dream something up that is truly marvelous, but once it comes to completing the actualization of the project, it usually falls flat.

The real dilemma is maintaining focus and moving on from concept to conclusion.

Example: This kind of individual may have great commercial or creative ideas but find it difficult to see them through to completion.

Due to organizational and concentration issues, they may frequently begin new projects or creative endeavors but seldom see them through to completion.

4. ADHD, “Smart” Type

Individuals like this are generally very intelligent; yet, ADHD symptoms interfere with their capability to work consistently.

Sometimes, their high intelligence is a mask for their difficulties, as they can compensate in good measure in some areas with their natural talents.

Still, they may have problems with organizing work, keeping their focus for the duration of long-term projects, or even finishing tasks.

They excel at solving theoretical problems yet neglect the practicalities of doing the daily chores.

The disparity between intelligence and daily implementation brings frustration, for they seem lazy or disorganized when just the opposite is true: the ADHD truly interferes with daily functioning.

Example: Highly educated people with ADHD may fly through a class without studying, but they may also forget deadlines or not turn in assignments.

Because they can succeed in some areas without exerting the same amount of work that others might require, their symptoms may go unnoticed despite their seeming laziness or disorganization.

Why Understanding ADHD Is So Important

This means that understanding ADHD entails looking beyond mere symptoms to how these symptoms affect every aspect of the person suffering from it.

From academic performance to relationship difficulties, the hurdles emanating from ADHD could be insurmountable if left unattended.

But with a fairly good insight into ADHD, therapeutic options—be it therapy, medication, or a lifestyle change—begin to surface. 

Understanding ADHD could act as a welcome relief to their lives by aiding them in negotiating daily existences.

Knowing what kind of ADHD you have can inform your do's and don'ts in coping strategies; it can also enhance self-awareness and acceptance.

Knowing what works for you given your specific type of ADHD can help you construct systems that play to your strengths rather than attempting to force yourself into one-size-fits-all approaches. 

For family members, teachers, or employers, insight into ADHD can help better place support and accommodations.

This enhances communication and minimizes frustration while creating an enriching environment for those with ADHD.

Once people do understand what ADHD is, little changes can be made: providing more structure, using visual aids, or simply being patient through hard moments.

Treatment and Coping Strategies

Although there isn't a single, universal method for handling ADHD, there are a number of useful therapies and techniques:

  • Medication (stimulants like Adderall, Ritalin, and non-stimulants) can help improve focus and impulse control, especially for those with more severe symptoms.

  • Therapy (like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) helps develop coping strategies for emotional regulation, time management, and problem-solving.

  • Lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, healthy eating, and structured routines, can also have a significant impact on ADHD symptoms. For instance, getting enough sleep, practicing mindfulness, and sticking to a daily schedule can provide much-needed stability.

In addition to this, support systems, such as understanding family members, ADHD coaches, or support groups, can offer crucial direction and encouragement. Speaking with people who have gone through similar things might help you feel less alone and develop coping mechanisms that you can use in everyday life.

Conclusion

ADHD cannot just be reductionist characterized or sidewise by "distracted" or "hyper." It's multifaceted: An intricate disorder in people's behavior, thoughts, and interaction with the environment.

People have different experiences with ADHD, ranging from the three major and regularly known types to less known forms, but once we come to understand those variations in terms of functioning in everyday life, we have begun to create conditions that allow the person with ADHD to flourish and use their strengths. With the right tools, encouragement, and attitude, ADHD can be a lifelong battle but can be a journey toward success and growth instead of that.
