Out of sight, out of mind is a common ADHD trait that is a big challenge for me (you can tell by looking at my coffee table). That’s why visual reminders can be incredibly effective in keeping your finances on track. Whether it’s a sticky note on your computer or a chart on your wall, these reminders can help you stay focused on your financial goals.
A clear plan can also lead to increased revenue in your business because we can often hold ourselves back income-wise when we don’t have confidence in how we are managing our money!
Running a business can be a wild rollercoaster ride, especially when you’ve got ADHD. We’re natural-born idea generators and risk-takers, which are great for running a business, but managing the financial side of things can feel like a daunting task. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by invoices, taxes, or if the thought of tracking your expenses has you in avoidance mode, you’re not alone.
I get it, the ups, the downs, leave you on cloud 9 some months and feeling like you are drowning others. It can add a lot of stress when trying to manage your money! But fear not, it is possible to budget with a variable income, whether is is variable month to month, or season to season.
This is a great way to start getting a visual of where your money is going. When you have a clear picture of where all of your money is going, it will be easier to make adjustments where necessary so you can stop saying YES to so many hours! Or better yet, build a plan to escape the job you hate!
My personal experience with shift work; I was an unhappy B-I-T-C-H to be around. I couldn’t sleep when I needed to, I was too stressed about what would happen next at work, and when I was tired, I would sleep my entire day away! Some weeks I felt like I never saw my family! It had me on a rollercoaster of mood swings ALL the time!
