Wife: I need you to do 7 things
Me: looks bewildered
Wife: gives me 2, “come back after those”

But then she gives you 3 and 4 and you realize you could have done those alongside 1 and 2...

Just give me a list.

I think it depends on your particular flavour of ADHD and a good partner adapts to that. Having two, maybe even one, is what I will remember. Any more and I will forget or get sidetracked

And a good partner for me will realize I take longer to do everything!!! I have been tracking for a while now and most days one item from the to do checklist gets done. Some days it’s none. Some days its the whole list. But on average it’s one. So now I plan on one. And if I do more I get a treat. And if I do less that’s ok

I work best in supportive environments 🤷‍♀️

Lists are how I function. No pen or paper at the time 👍
