SQUIRREL!: When you’re ADHD, one of the most beneficial things you can do for yourself, as well as for others, is to live your life “one minute in the future.” This means you’re constantly on the lookout for the effect that things you’re doing right now will have one minute, five minutes, an hour, a day into the future. (People in AA meetings sometimes refer to this as “playing the tape forward,” which is a wonderful tool for those with ADHD as well.)
