The "24-hour rule" for ADHD is a coping strategy to manage impulsivity by creating a mandatory waiting period (usually a full day) before acting on a strong urge or making a big decision, allowing emotions to settle and promoting more rational choices, especially for impulse buys, heated responses, or significant life changes. It provides a buffer for reflection, helping individuals with ADHD differentiate between fleeting desires and truly needed actions, reducing potential regret.
