There is a lot of pressure on those of us with ADHD. The culprit is self-inflicted pressure brought on by mental confusion, clutter, disorganization and a tendancy to rush. I would suggest you allow yourself time to do what you have to do. Before you schedule your clients, take time to check your daily schedule to see when it is best to accommodate them so as not to feel confused or unduly stressed. Make your life easier by not OVER-BOOKING yourself. Then check that schedule daily so as not to miss appointments, or worry unnecessarily for something that is not even going to occur that day.
Eat that lovely dinner you cooked and then make time to take time to clean up the mess.
Indeed, the pressure you make for yourself can to some extent be controlled by your planning and permission to be organized and in control. If you want a less stressful life, begin now to lay off the pressure valve by allowing yourself the time and permission to do what you need to do to get things done right. Allow yourself the luxury of time, by scheduling in that buffer time, then you can relax.
Remember the word ADHD includes the word DISORDER, and that is one huge thing we need to fight daily!
