[TLDR: My name is Kelly & through my Patreon, I’m offering ADHD solutions for ADHD folks & anyone with executive dysfunction. Short summary at the beginning, longer explanation & examples further along. Plus cleaning prompts. At higher tiers, there will be worksheets, spreadsheets, & a book club.]
Hi, my name is Kelly J. Cooper. I am a writer, a copy editor, a poet, and an all-around nerd. I also have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), inattentive type.
I was diagnosed with ADHD late in life. Before my diagnosis, I’d come up with a lot of strategies to get things done. After my diagnosis, I updated my own strategies and started spending time looking at how other folks got things done, adapting their ideas for my own use. One thing I found is that the concrete suggestions for solving ADHD-related problems were often buried inside piles of theory, discussion, and biographical/autobiographical stories.
I had the idea of writing a book about solutions to ADHD problems, but… well… I have ADHD. So, I created my Patreon to create accountability and help me reach some goals for 2024 and beyond, hopefully leading to a book. To be clear, my life is not at all organized, so I’m planning to investigate solutions and document the process of pulling them together and putting them into practice (beyond those solutions I’m already using).
I also have written out 52 cleaning tasks, with different levels of ability, to be emailed out on a weekly basis. Whether you do these tasks or ignore them or print them up and drop them into a jar to randomly pick a task at some future point is up to you. Depending on your feedback, I might turn these into a deck of cards you can buy.
