How can planning ahead for big days help adults with ADHD?

Nothing sets back people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) quite like an overwhelming day. Planning ahead becomes critical so you don't end up feeling stressed and scattered. For example, when you know you have a busy day coming up, start getting ready the night -- or even two nights -- before. Launder and lay out your clothes for the big meeting, get your lunch packed and in the fridge, and look for your car keys the night before so you're set and calm on the big day.
