With ADHD, we live in the Now / Not Now which means we have a hard time planning ahead. I have found this happened dramatically when I traveled.
I looked at a trip as: I live my normal life. Suddenly I’m on a trip. Then I’m home and back to my normal life.
This caused me to leave things to the last minute, arrive at my destination all stressed out, and then not easily readjust to life when I returned home.
One of the habits I’ve been building over the past couple of year is what I now call the Travel Bell Curve.
What is the Travel Bell Curve? It has nothing to do with math, but is a way of looking at the phases on either side of a trip in a way that embraces our ADHD and helps us prepare and finish a trip more calmly and peacefully.
