Systems consistency…

How do you stop good systems from evaporating overnight?

I’m realising one of my biggest ADHD struggles isn’t finding systems, it’s remembering they exist the next day.

I’ll set something up that actually works (planner, habit tracker, morning plan, filing system). Day 1 is great. Then I wake up on Day 2 and… 💨 poof… it’s not even in my awareness. It doesn’t occur to me to use it.

Weeks later I bump into it again and think, “oh yeah, that was a great idea” …I’ll pick it up again and then next day… poof💨!

Recently I’ve started using a tiny stack of cards I keep in my pocket with one thing per card (shower, supplements, kitchen reset, etc.), and that’s helping a bit because it physically lives on me.

I’m curious:

• Do you have one thing that helps your systems stay visible from one day to the next?

• Where do you park reminders so your future ADHD brain actually sees them?

• Extra love for ideas that still work when you’re tired / emotional / overwhelmed, not just on “good brain” days. 💛

Would love very practical “this is what I literally do” answers.
