Its in the small wins...
ADHD makes it easy to get stuck in the Broken Promise Loop. Big commitments feel overwhelming, so we avoid them… and then trust takes another hit. But here’s the thing: rebuilding trust doesn’t always take a grand gesture. Sometimes, it’s just one 2-Minute Trust Deposit. 👉 Send your kid or partner a quick text: “Thinking of you. Proud of you.” 👉 Keep one tiny promise today: “I’ll grab you a snack” … then actually do it. 👉 Look your partner in the eye and say: “I love you” "Im so happy I am together with you" and mean it. These micro-moments matter. They add up. They show the people we love that we see them, that we mean it. You are putting deposits into the credibility account. Do it NOW!!!! One tiny trust deposit. Then come back and comment DONE when you’ve made yours.

This is awesome - these "little" things add up and make a difference for sure. And they are very attainable. For a guy like me - it needs to be little things I can attain an accomplish and FOCUS on. Be IN the moment, whatever it is, and follow through. I do lots, but making it an INTENTIONAL moment means alot more. Thanks for this! - oh and DONE!

@Christopher Scott Totally - it's the little things that stack up and help me feel like I am making progress. It starts with the FIRST thing of the day for me - getting up at 5am - no excuses, every day. Then my routine begins, small wins, big results.
Welcome

Welcome, Men - great to have you here!
The Thing You Are Tying To Fix Isn’t The Thing…
“The chaos you see is just the smoke. The real fire burns underneath. It’s not the distraction. It’s not the arguments. It’s not the broken promises. Those are symptoms. Not the cause. The thing you’re trying to fix… isn’t the thing. October 10th. We dig deeper.”

YES! 🙌
Ritual
Here’s the truth: most ADHD dads (me included) crush it during the week because work gives us structure. There’s policy. There’s procedure. There’s a playbook. But then the weekend hits… and it’s chaos. No clear plan. No structure. Just “downtime” that feels impossible to manage. We tell ourselves we’re tired, and maybe we are, but a lot of the time? We’re just bored. So we sit, scrolling, chasing something to hold our attention while the weekend slips away. That’s why I started my Friday Set Up Ritual 🌙. Instead of letting the weekend get away from me, I set the tone: 👉 Quick check-in with my wife: “What do you need this weekend?” 👉 Family planning: meals, rides, activities so no one’s blindsided. 👉 Scheduling something fun: not just chores — one thing that makes the weekend feel like living, not just surviving. When I do this, the weekend actually counts. I feel present. My family feels seen. And instead of zoning out, I get to show up. 👉 What’s one reset habit you want to commit to this weekend?

Having breakfast with my wife and kids on a Saturday or Sunday morning!
Aspiration
ADHD dads, we know how to win at work. Deadlines, pressure, crisis that’s where we lock in. That’s where people look at us and think, “Damn, he’s got it together.” But at home? That same drive misfires. We’re distracted, irritable, stuck in the broken promise loop. And the people who matter most — our wife, our kids — end up with whatever scraps of energy we’ve got left. But here’s the vision that keeps me going: 👉 Walking through the door and my kids actually running to me. 👉 Sitting down at dinner without that low-simmering pressure boiling in my chest. 👉 Looking my wife in the eyes and knowing she feels seen, not second place to my distractions. 👉 Enjoying the moment instead of bracing against it. I didn’t think that was possible. I thought my ADHD made me a lost cause at home. But I’m learning with the right tools, the right support I can win at home like I win at work. And man, that feels like the real victory. 👉 What would winning at home mean for you?

Winning at home for me means I would put my phone down and be present with my wife and kids - actually listen to and hear and talk with them without "being somewhere else". Not thinking about work emails, texts or social media etc. So thanks to this post and to @Christopher Scott I have deleted X and FB and IG completely from my phone. NOT just hidden it, but deleted it. If I have to go on it, I can do so on my computer, which is a completely different animal, so this is one way for me to disconnect to connect.
