Jessica uses a personal strategy of moving objects from one place to another to where she knows she will look in the morning to reduce forgetfulness (e.g., moving her kids' vitamins to the dining table), which does not save execution time but is a comfort to her ADHD brain; she also uses a bobby pin placed on her nightstand as a visual cue to remind her to schedule a haircut appointment tomorrow, allowing her to stop holding the thought and fall asleep.

Evidence Quote

I just move objects from one place to another to the place where I know I'm going to look in the morning... my kids vitamins... I won't remember if I don't put it on the dining table... a bobby pin... on my nightstand... that bobby pin means that I need to schedule a hair haircut tomorrow
