Writing takes an enormous amount of discipline, even for the most dedicated and productive writers. For those living with ADD/ADHD, it can be especially challenging. The hallmark symptoms of ADHD such as impulsivity, distractability, and difficulty sitting still can all undermine the focus and consistency required for writing.

Even if you have not received a diagnosis of ADHD, you may be one of the many writers (like me) who struggle mightily to marshal your attention. As with meditation practice, you may find your mind wandering far afield mere minutes after turning on your computer. Or you sit down to write, and suddenly, urgently need a snack or a nap. Somebody (not you, surely!) has opened TikTok on your phone, and before you know it, you’ve lost an hour to doomscrolling.

Writing sessions that end with little to no new work done can leave you feeling like your body and brain are actively working against you, a frustrating and sometimes demoralizing experience. You may even be tempted to give up altogether.

Fortunately, there are methods and strategies to help you mitigate your neurodivergence—and even harness it to your advantage. Here are some tips for writing with ADHD that my coaching clients and I have found useful.
