ADHD Cooking: 6 Steps to Stress-Free Meals

Set up multiple timers for each part of your meal—one for the stove, another for the oven. Visual and sound cues help keep you on track. Break recipes into bite-sized steps. A checklist can be a lifesaver for remembering what you’ve done and what’s next. Prep ingredients before you start. Chopping and measuring ahead of time makes the process way less overwhelming. Stick to simple recipes on busy days. Batch cooking is also a huge help—freeze leftovers for quick meals later. Minimize distractions. Turn off the TV, and if music helps, go for something chill. Focus tools or noise-canceling headphones can make a big difference. Clean as you go and keep things labeled. Staying organized means less chaos and more focus. Every small step counts!
