Colour coding for ADHD kids

Stay organized with colour coding! It’s a simple but powerful technique to add clarity and structure to your routine.

Why is colour coding helpful for people with ADHD? Colour coding reduces cognitive load by helping recognize priority items. ADHD brains thrive on visual cues. By using colour to organize information, it becomes easier to digest and remember, creating motivation complete tasks.

Create categories for tasks related to work, school, chores, appointments, activities, self-care, etc. Use highlighters and paper planners, coloured sticky notes or calendar labels for planning. If you prefer digital tools to get organized, apps and platforms like Google Calendar or Notion, you can assign colours to your events and lists.
