ADD-friendly Retirement Planning
Tips for an ADHD-friendly Retirement

Get help in planning for your retirement. Don’t just let it happen and worry about the results later.Healthy sleep patterns are critical.
Be aware of the risks of sleeping too much (often a sign of depression) or of falling into patterns of staying up most of the night and
sleeping much of the day.

Find convenient ways to assure regular healthy meals. Many ADHDers fall into little or no meal planning which often results in very poor
nutrition as they resort to snack foods with very few fruits and vegetables.

Look for ways to structure your days. Part-time work can be very gratifying as it provides stimulation, structure and a sense of
accomplishment — not to mention additional income.(...)

Under-stimulation sets in, often accompanied by boredom, lethargy and depression.
