All in ADHD and Money
Once you start understanding your finances, you’ll find that a lot of the fear and anxiety starts to fade (I know it seems too good to be true, but trust me, I see it all the time with my clients). You’ll feel more in control, more empowered, and more prepared to take on the challenges that come your way. And here's the kicker: when you're not subconsciously holding yourself back, you open the door to more opportunities and more income.
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.
Our brains are wired to chase new ideas and excitement, making it tough to stay on top of routine tasks like budgeting and saving. But don't worry—I've got you covered with some practical financial management hacks that will make the process a lot less overwhelming and maybe even (dare I say) a bit enjoyable.
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.
Why it helps: Late payments have the biggest impact on bringing down your credit score. Automatic payments ensure you never miss a due date. Partnering automatic payments with a plan for your money is key (more on that later).
This not only prevents forgetfulness, which is a common ADHD challenge but also keeps your payment history spotless, a crucial component of your credit score.
And PLEASE read all the way to the end because the first part you’ve probably heard before but when you partner it with the second part, that is where the magic happens! ✨
