How do you stop paying the ADHD tax?
I recently came across the term "ADHD tax," and it explained so much of my life.
For me, it isn't impulse shopping. It's all the little things that slowly add up:
- Forgetting to cancel free trials.
- Paying for subscriptions I haven't used in months.
- Missing bill due dates even though I had the money.
- Buying things I already own because I forgot they existed.
- Finding groceries after they've already gone bad.
None of these seem like a big deal individually, but over a year I feel like I've lost hundreds of dollars to stuff that could've been avoided if my brain just... remembered.
I've started trying a few things like calendar reminders and keeping notes, but after a while I end up ignoring them or forgetting I even made them.
So I'm curious:
How do you deal with the ADHD tax?
Do you have any systems, apps, routines, or habits that have actually worked long-term?
I'd love to hear what's genuinely helped other people because I'm still trying to figure out a system that sticks.
