ADHD Morning Routine: A Smooth Start Without 40 Decisions

The ADHD morning doesn't fall apart because of laziness — it falls apart because of 40 tiny decisions before your first coffee. The fix: get rid of the decisions.

The Principles

1. Decide the night before: Clothes, breakfast, daily plan — all set before the morning even starts.
2. One domino: Pin down the ONE first action after you get up (say, a glass of water). Everything else hangs off it — that's habit stacking.
3. Visibility over memory: Gym bag by the door, meds next to the toothbrush. What you see is what actually happens.
4. A buffer against time blindness: Set the alarm 20 minutes earlier than "strictly necessary" — realistic mornings are relaxed mornings.

Keep It Small

Three steps that always work beat ten perfect ones that die after four days. You'll find the general guide (without the ADHD-specific stuff) over at building a morning routine.
