ADHD Brain Hacks: Quick, Powerful, and Actually Doable

🧠 1. Turn Your Brain into a To-Do List

Use visual cues like sticky notes, colour-coded calendars, or apps. ADHD brains love novelty and visuals—use that to your advantage.

🥦 2. Feed the Focus

Omega-3s, magnesium, and protein = brain fuel. Start your day with eggs + avocado or a smoothie with chia seeds, spinach, and berries.

🧃 Pro tip: Avoid sugar bombs in the morning—they spike and crash your dopamine, making focus harder.

🎯 3. Body First, Brain Follows

10 minutes of movement before sitting down (jumping jacks, stretching, a walk) wakes up your prefrontal cortex—the ADHD command centre.

⏳ 4. Use the "10-Minute Trick"

Can’t start a task? Set a timer for just 10 minutes. Commit to that, then stop if you want.

🧃 5. Snack with Intention

Don't let your blood sugar sabotage your focus. Try:

• Apple + almond butter

• Hummus + carrots

• Greek yogurt + pumpkin seeds

🧠 Stable energy = stable focus.
