Set a daily timer on your phone just labelled ‘PERISHABLE VEGETABLES IN FRIDGE’ … ?
Like, have it go off every day?
Or maybe label it ‘Meal Prep Time’?
Set ‘appointments’ in your calendar for specific meals, a few times a week, with the actual instructions for making a meal?
Or, like, once upon a time, it used to just be fairly normal to set aside a few hours on the weekend (or some off work day) to do a significant amount of meal prep, store it for the week, then that stuff is either good to go, or just needs minimal additional work (quick flash in a toaster oven or what not) to make it good to go, day of.
I dunno, as best I can tell I don’t have ADHD, but I did have major depression for a while, and part of what helped me out of that was just strictly regimenting myself, untill I didn’t need the alarms anymore. I know ADHD ain’t the same, but… might be useful/relevant?
The problem with daily reminders is that eventually you just get so used to the reminder that you tune it out completely and it stops mattering entirely.
They can work well for a lot of people but at least for me… after about a month theyre effectively not there anymore
