ADHD but make it chic
30
items Pretty but practical items that keep me (somewhat) sane as a woman with ADHD. These are things that have actually made a difference in my day to day productivity, executive functioning, and/or organization - and they don't look childish or out of pla... ✨

Everyday Essentials
Does not need a subscription like Skylight! My partner & I add all our social events & appointments to a shared google calendar that we use as the screensaver for this. you can also add other widgets like the weather or grocery lists so you g...
Apolosign 15.6" Digital Calendar
perfect for reading in low light with relaxing music, and waking up to bright light. waking up to noise just makes me want to snooze & stay in bed more, so being able to set my morning routine for an hour of light before the alarm goes off works ...
Hatch Restore 3 - Smart Sound Machine Alarm Clock
I haven't lost an important document since getting this!
DailyDocs Document Organizer Binder for Important Papers & Passports (4 Ring)
Magnetic “brick” that you can keep anywhere - tap to lock & unock your phone from selected apps, plus you can schedule the locking too. we keep it on our bathroom mirror, but when my phone addiction gets bad I move it to my car! 🙃
Brick - Phone Lock
I clipped the case to my card holder / keychain and they've come in handy so many times. Great for concerts but also for when sound is just really overstimulating
Loop Switch™ 2 Adjustable 3-in-1 Earplugs for Any Situation - Gold
these are my exact pair - I have gold and my partner has the silver!
Loop Experience 2 Earplugs for Live Events, Concerts, Festivals and Nights Out - Gold
I have had the older model of these for over 5 years and they still work just as good as the day I got them. They're also incredibly light compared to airpod maxes so they're way more comfortable to wear on long flights or at night. Super soft paddin...
Sony Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
I don't use these for my nightly medications but I love this for extras in my car, vacations and weekend trips.
Dosey Twist & Stack 7-Day Pill Organizer
I used to lose track of time so easily when I was working from home that I would miss the beginning of meetings. I set this timer before I hunker down for some focus time now and it helps a ton. Also works great for setting 5-10 minute timers to forc...
Retro Visual Timer - 60 Minute Countdown Clock Made with at Least 20% Natural Plant Materia
smaller 3" version if you need it to take up less space - I have the pink color!
60 Minute Visual Timer
I label sooo many things to give myself rules & urgency around the house - fridge shelves, cabinet shelves, dresser drawers etc. The motivation to avoid the “consequence” of putting something back where it doesn't belong is much higher when it's ...
Label Maker with Carrying Case
This is the texture of a luxury hotel towel - thick & soft but not too sticky on the skin. This really helps me transition from bed to shower and from shower to life! I have the green/cream stripe.
Brooklinen Super-Plush Robe
allows me to straighten, wave, or curl my hair super quickly. also like that it can be on silent mode or airflow mode- the constant noise from my Dyson air wrap annoyed me so much I stopped using it a year ago, this is what I use instead now! Note- N...
L'ange Hair Le Duo Airflow Styler
I hated vacuuming before I had this. Never dealing with a cord is a game changer for having fewer executive functioning barriers.
Dyson V8 Cyclone Cordless Stick Vacuum
Work/Tech Must Haves
As someone who uses a Mac for work & life, this mouse is an insane level up. Once you download the logitech app to your macbook, you can program so many useful shortcuts. as someone in a creative industry, I used to press "command + control + shi...
Logitech MX Master 4 for Mac Bluetooth Mouse with Haptic Feedback White Silver
the best tech item I've ever purchased. Charges off of *indoor* lighting and never needs to be plugged in - so visually super minimal AND functionally superior. never going back to anything else. also uses the same logitech app so there are lots of s...
Logitech Signature Slim Solar+ K980 for Mac Wireless
Fits so much stuff and has 4 interior slip pockets for your phone, wallet, AirPods, makeup, etc. also easily fits my 13” laptop and a sweater or jacket.
Freya Ida Bag
Car Kit
I like to keep a car kit of essentials because I have a long & slow commute that I tend to get up last minute for. Sometimes I don't do my make-up until I get stuck in traffic or after I find parking in the city.
This case barely fits in my center console, but that's where I usually keep it since I'm always reaching for it
Sonia Kashuk™ Clear Travel Makeup Bag
the best smelling natural deodorant ever - also works much better than other natural brands I've tried
Athena Club All Over Deodorant Stick - Salted Sunset - 2.6oz
I always keep a flat claw clip with me or in the car - it's nice because you can still put your head against a head rest vs a regular claw clip

I think these work better than the yellow ones tbh

Candid Travel Pack Facial Tissue Travel Size - 3pk/10ct
for when you notice your eyebrows need plucking in the magical car mirror lighting
JAPONESQUE Travel Manicure Kit
smells similarly to the deodorant, but more fresh and less sweet. I keep one in my purse and one in my car.
BioPure Hydrating Hand Sanitizer Spray - Coastal Glow - 30ml
for when you forget to brush your teeth! these are pricier than the colgate 24 pack because they're individually packaged, which is great for throwing a few in the car and a few in different bags/purses for emergencies. i also love to use them on lon...
GuruNanda Butter on Gums Pre-Pasted Toothbrushes - 5ct
Hydration & Supplements
great flavor that doesn't taste too sugary. I like to mix this with sparkling water and drink it out of wine glass when I'm feeling fancy
Cure Hydration Electrolyte Mix 8-Pack
latest hyperfixation flavor - I usually only use half a packet to fill up my stanley. really helps with jaw clenching. they sell these in bulk at costco too

I also love this flavor!

free app (there's a premium version that I currently pay for). really helps give you that dopamine hit for tasks big or small - getting to decorate & dress your little bird for checking off your goals! i will usually stay engaged with this for a ... if you are struggling with really basic tasks, I suggest putting every step in here and uses the $ you get to furnish the birds house and closet as motivation!
