This or That prompts harness the power of simplicity and immediacy, which is especially effective for ADHD communities where attention may shift quickly. By asking members to choose between two relatable options, you lower the barrier to participation, making it easy for anyone to jump in without overthinking.
The playful nature of these prompts encourages spontaneous responses, reduces anxiety about giving the 'right' answer, and helps members bond over shared quirks and preferences. They also provide a quick dopamine boost, which can be motivating for people with ADHD. When community members see others' answers, it fosters a sense of connection and acceptance, strengthening group ties.
Most importantly, This or That questions are inclusive and approachable, making them ideal for members who may not be comfortable with deeper or more complex topics but still want to join the conversation.

To use these templates, simply copy and paste any prompt into your community platform of choice. Pair them with a friendly intro or emoji for extra warmth. Consider posting at varied times to reach different members and encourage quick replies by reacting or commenting on early responses. Rotate through the list to keep things fresh and adapt prompts based on what resonates with your members. Use the optional 'why' follow-up to spark deeper connections.
On all platforms, keep your This or That posts visually simple and friendly. Use emojis or line breaks to make options stand out. Pin or highlight the post at peak times to maximize visibility. Encourage replies by responding quickly and tagging active members if appropriate.
When creating 'This or That' templates for ADHD communities, use clear, concise language and limit choices to two straightforward options to minimize overwhelm. Consider visually distinct designs and avoid clutter or excessive instructions, making it easier for members who struggle with executive dysfunction to respond quickly and without friction.
Effective ADHD-relevant themes include 'Morning routines: Structured vs. Spontaneous,' 'Time management: Digital apps vs. Paper planners,' or 'Focus aids: Background music vs. Complete silence.' These prompts reflect daily experiences ADHDers face and can encourage members to share their strategies and challenges.
Frame options in a nonjudgmental way. Instead of 'Always late vs. Always on time,' try 'Flexible with time vs. Prefer set schedules.' Avoid implying one choice is better, focusing instead on celebrating neurodiversity and normalizing common ADHD experiences.
Absolutely! Members often love comparing tactics like 'Pomodoro timer vs. Body doubling' or 'Sticky notes vs. Phone reminders.' This validates their experiences and gives space for sharing tips, while also introducing lesser-known strategies to others in the community.
Consider prompts like 'Deep dive into one project vs. Juggle multiple tasks' or 'Lose track of time when focused vs. Struggle to get started.' These options not only resonate with ADHDers but also prompt conversations about managing hyperfocus and procrastination within a supportive environment.
Use high-contrast colors, bold fonts, and ample white space to reduce visual overload. Animated elements or excessive motion can be distracting, so keep designs simple. Icons or images that clearly represent each choice can also help members quickly process information, especially if they struggle with reading long text.
