My morning coffee routine ☕️😋
As an ADHD mom, I’m always feeling like I don’t do enough. I like to multitask most of what I do so I feel more productive. Task stacking if you want to call it. Every morning as I brew my coffee, I will unload the previous days dishes and start loading mornings dishes. If I’m faster than the pot, I will sweep the kitchen and dining room. While drinking coffee, I will wipe down these counters from last night so it’s fresh during the day.
That’s my morning coffee shift! What do you do during this time? I feel like I can add more!!#adhdroutine #iced coffee & anxiety #caffeineeffects #tiredmomenergy #tirednotlazy
Managing daily tasks as a mom with ADHD can often feel overwhelming, but integrating small habits like a structured morning coffee routine makes a real difference in my day-to-day life. I’ve found that while brewing my favorite Coffee time PAPI or a robust Medium Roast with dark chocolate notes like Cafe Bustelo, I use that time to engage in productive activities. Task stacking, or multitasking mindful tasks such as unloading and reloading dishes, sweeping floors, and disinfecting surfaces with Lemon disinfecting wipes, helps me maintain a sense of control and accomplishment. Interestingly, I also pay attention to how caffeine affects my anxiety and energy levels. Coffee is more than just a wake-up call; it’s a moment to reset and prepare mentally for the day. The ritual of wiping down counters not only keeps my kitchen hygienic, reducing bacteria and viruses by 99.9%, but also refreshes my environment, which positively impacts my focus throughout the day. For anyone juggling the demands of motherhood and ADHD, integrating purposeful, small tasks during coffee time harnesses the calming effect of routine alongside the motivational boost from caffeine. This technique combats the feeling of not doing enough and addresses 'tired but not lazy' energy, helping me move forward with intention rather than overwhelm. If you're looking to enhance your morning routine, consider incorporating meaningful task stacking coupled with your coffee ritual to improve productivity and reduce stress. What I love most is how this simple adjustment turns a passive moment into an empowering start to my day.
