1. ADHD Partner Problem – Lack of internal supervision

Your partner struggles with organization, deadlines, and staying on top of things. Their ADHD diagnosis means they’ve experienced all three symptoms for a prolonged period and it has interfered with their life.

Partner Solution: Co-regulate & Body Double

Doing things with them (parallel) in the same space and time is a huge benefit. When you can talk through routines and ideas together, and track the tasks after discussions, your partner will show up for you and you’ll both feel more successful. 

2. ADHD Partner Problem – Disorganized living is a result of asynchronous, associative thought

Your partner struggles to put all the pieces together and visualize the future. As a result, they lose their forward momentum and feel overwhelmed.

Partner Solution: Limit project scope and create time constraints

Expanding time estimates can help them set more realistic goals for projects. So when you work together can help your partner get better at estimating how long things may take.

3. ADHD Partner Problem – Low confidence, self-esteem, and embarrassment

Outer disorganization can be the result of inner emotional demons for adults with ADHD. So it follows that emotional issues tend to become worse over time. Before long, your partner will have lived with life-long embarrassment. As a result, your partner’s self-esteem and confidence bottom out.

Partner Solution: Build confidence through encouragement, compassion, and understanding

Focusing on positive aspects and strengths builds hope and helps your partner face some of their executive functioning struggles. When you endeavor to build a friendly, congenial partnership, you can enhance those positive aspects and encourage each other.

4. ADHD Partner Problem – Procrastination and forgetfulness

When your partner procrastinates and forgets, this indicates they are not supported by their systems. So if your partner lacks a plan and has unreliable systems they can’t remember important things. As a result, being disorganized, untidy, and unprofessional is how they self-identify leading to a lowered expectation of themselves.

Partner Solution: Create a schedule with reminders

So in conclusion, focusing on consistent behaviors will help avoid the ‘urgency’ cycle that causes more stress and leads to arguments. Work together to agree on what your important tasks are, decide on the recurring days for those tasks, then set reminders.

Hopefully, this information will help with the disorganization in your daily life and lead to a much more positive partnership.

About Cena Block

Welcome readers! If this is your first time visiting my blog, thank you for stopping by. I'm Cena and I work with high performers, professionals, and entrepreneurs with ADHD. If you're an entrepreneur or high- performing professional who is distracted, overwhelmed, and feeling lost in the shuffle, let's talk. As a Certified Productivity Coach (CPC-2020) and Certified Organizer Coach (COC-2017) and Productivity Consultant, I can help. I work with clients in 3 different ways: Coach, Consultant, and Productivity. Together we help you slow down, focus and get curious. Weekly coaching sessions help you recognize when your inner critic is in your way, and provide small steps forward. ADHD brains work differently than neurotypical brains. While freedom and flexibility energize you, routines, tracking, and systems help you calm down, cut the chaos, and provide the grounding your brain needs to be at its best. Working with a Certified ADHD Coach is essential. I can help you understand how your ADHD shows up. Together we grow your business and improve your career results while finding quality time for family, your passions and yourself!
