ADHD Morning Distractions Tactics

Even after getting up, distractions multiply. With ADHD, simple interruptions derail everything. These tactics create a buffer so you can move forward with focus, not friction.

Why distractions pile up

ADHD brains chase novelty. Sounds, visuals, and incoming stimuli each tug attention. You need a system that blocks multiple inputs at once, not willpower.

Defensive setup

Make good habits easier than distractions. Place a pair of Anker Soundcore Life P3 noise cancelling earbuds ready to block noise. Keep a Philips SmartSleep sunrise alarm or light source to anchor your focus with light, not sound.

Core tools

Stack tactics for motion

Distractions lose power when the first task is meaningful. Keep a one-item list in Todoist to focus forward.

Checklist: morning defense setup
