    Try Different, Not Harder with the ADHD Scientific Method

    Send a text Tired of “try harder” being the only answer? There's a practical way to make ADHD strategies work in real life by borrowing the structure of the scientific method: name the problem and break it down, identify specific sticking points, brainstorm solutions, and try them out. Start by naming one concrete challenge and mapping the exact steps where things go sideways—decision fatigue, missing tools, bad time management, or too many moving parts. From there, brainstorm targeted changes using four guiding principles: keep tools close to the point of performance, make cues impossible to miss, schedule actions when energy and time align, and connect new behaviors to something you already do. The approach comes to life with a relatable example—clothes on the floor—and potential adjustments to solve the problem behavior. Turn experiments into progress with lightweight tracking—smiley faces, a quick grid, or a daily photo—so results are visible without adding stress. Decide whether to keep, tweak, or replace a strategy to make progress toward your goal. Along the way, maintain grace during off days, credit yourself for progress even if others don’t notice, and use rewards to wire new habits. The goal is to make everyday actions easier by design. If you’re ready to swap shame for strategy and build systems that actually stick, this technique offers a clear path forward.
