Budgeting doesn’t have to suck, I promise. It’s all about flipping the narrative and finding an approach that matches your unique brain and lifestyle. If you’ve been struggling, know that you’re not alone—and there’s a way to make this work for you.
Finding the perfect gift for someone anyone can be a challenge, but when you’re on the hunt for an ADHDer, it can add a little more challenge. Don’t worry; I’ve got a list just for you! This list includes fun, functional items that provide a dopamine boost. I’ve compiled a list of gifts across three price points to make shopping with a budget a breeze.
If you know and love someone with ADHD and are stumped about what to get them, you are in the right place. This is especially true if you are also an amazing ADHDer and are in analysis paralysis about what to get them because you want it to be thoughtful and useful. I’ve got some ideas based on things I love and use regularly, so there are ideas here for ADHD entrepreneurs as well!
For those of us with ADHD, our financial past can feel even more overwhelming. Impulsivity, time blindness, and difficulty sticking to plans can lead to decisions that we later regret. And if you’re an entrepreneur with ADHD, the stakes can feel even higher when your money mistakes impact your business (hello tax bills)!
With ADHD in the mix, a scarcity mindset can hit even harder. Why?: Our ADHD brains can amplify feelings of anxiety, impulsivity, and urgency. If you’re always worried about not having enough, that can translate to impulsive spending (when you have money), avoidance of big opportunities, or holding back on investing in yourself or your business. You might feel like you can’t afford to spend on help, education, or tools that could actually propel you forward, which can keep you stuck in a frustrating loop of doing everything yourself and never quite hitting your potential.
Running a service-based business with ADHD can feel like a rollercoaster (said by a fellow ADHD entrepreneur who has been there). Between getting distracted by new ideas and managing the day-to-day grind, figuring out how to bring in (and keep) clients can sometimes feel overwhelming. The key is making the process as ADHD-friendly as possible and finding what works for you. Think simple steps, repeatable strategies, and a focus on building lasting relationships.
