The Secret Behind Transforming a “Boring” Job to a Less Boring One
It is well known that individuals who are diagnosed with ADHD have a very hard time performing “boring” tasks. Therefore, I suggest that they try to combine the less interesting activities with interesting ones. Here are some suggestions:
- Listen to music while doing chores and/or homework
- Find a buddy to go to the gym or take a walk with
- Floss your teeth while watching a favorite show on TV
- Listen to a favorite book while on the treadmill or walking
- Brush your teeth while taking a shower
- Invite a few fun friends over to clean up the garage and/or house
- When doing filing and/or paperwork (boring tasks for individuals with ADHD), have a friend or colleague sit in the room with you performing tasks of their own
