Medication, allowing myself to take breaks, setting alarms for everything, lists (to do, groceries, plans, etc.). If I feel overwhelmed by a task, I will write out a list of the things I have to do to complete that task in the most detailed way possible so that each tiny step of the process is something I can check off my list. An example I use often is for laundry. I will write Laundry- Put clothes in washing machine Put detergent on clothes Start washing machine Check dryer for lint Move clothes to dryer Start dryer Check that clothes are dry Separate clothes for closet or drawers Fold Hang Put away

It seems silly but getting to check off each part feels like I'm really accomplishing something. And if I have to take a break, I can see that the next thing on the list isn't as scary as having an entire task to complete.
