All in ADHD and Money
Budgeting with ADHD doesn’t have to be stressful or time-consuming. By breaking tasks into manageable chunks and focusing on what works for you, you’ll find that managing money becomes easier—and dare I say, even enjoyable (but as a financial coach and personal finance lover, I may be a little biased)!
raditional budgeting methods can feel restrictive or too detailed. Even an ‘easy to manage’ system like the 50/30/20 rule can leave us feeling like failures because we can’t ‘stick to them’ or ‘do them right.’ Instead, consider how to customize a plan that includes money for the things you love and what you know about yourself and your priorities. One thing I focus on with my clients is creating a plan that aligns with the life they want to live and finding systems that help them implement their plan into their lives without a lot of extra work each week.
If you’re thinking, “Okay, but how do I even start with underconsumption?” let me introduce you to Project Pan. Originally popular in the beauty community, Project Pan is all about "hitting pan" on your products—literally using them up until you see the bottom of the container (or "pan").
Budgeting doesn’t have to suck, I promise. It’s all about flipping the narrative and finding an approach that matches your unique brain and lifestyle. If you’ve been struggling, know that you’re not alone—and there’s a way to make this work for you.
Finding the perfect gift for someone anyone can be a challenge, but when you’re on the hunt for an ADHDer, it can add a little more challenge. Don’t worry; I’ve got a list just for you! This list includes fun, functional items that provide a dopamine boost. I’ve compiled a list of gifts across three price points to make shopping with a budget a breeze.
If you know and love someone with ADHD and are stumped about what to get them, you are in the right place. This is especially true if you are also an amazing ADHDer and are in analysis paralysis about what to get them because you want it to be thoughtful and useful. I’ve got some ideas based on things I love and use regularly, so there are ideas here for ADHD entrepreneurs as well!
