🎙️ Latest Episode Recap: Strategy so you don't forget
This week, Courtney Nolan tackled a topic that's all too relatable for those who share their lives with ADHD partners—or have ADHD themselves. 👋🏼hello neurodivergent babes! Courtney Nolan delved into actionable strategies to avoid those moments of forgetfulness that can cause unnecessary friction in relationships.
What Courtney Nolan Covered:
Why Clear Communication is Crucial:Have the convo sooner rather than later. Let your partner know, "Hey, I obviously get distracted really easily and I can see how that's affecting you."Use your weekend check-ins to discuss how to avoid those unfun moments of miscommunication.Setting Up For Success:Before starting an important conversation, ask: “Is now a good time to talk? I need your undivided attention.” Simple yet effective!Advocate for reminders—whether that's an extra text, a calendar note, or a good ol' sticky note on the bedhead.Routine and Reminders:Set expectations early. Whether it's arranging a date night or planning for intimacy, make sure it’s not just "said" but also "written."Utilize tools like Google Calendar, alarms, or even a Post-it note to avoid letting those arrangements slip out of your busy brain.Avoiding Resentment and Miscommunication:Make sure your partner understands it’s not about lack of care but how your ADHD brain works.Establish a fail-safe reminder system so neither of you feels that sting of disappointment or rejection.Takeaway Tip: Create a method that works for both partners. Communication paired with a reliable reminder system can make the relationship flow smoother and keep everyone feeling valued and remembered.
