There’s a lot of to-do list apps, reminders, calendars etc out there advertised towards us to help us do things like break down large tasks into meaningful chunks and focus on what we need to do each day, but I want to hear from the community what do you guys think is the best so let’s start a thread

    Am I the only one who feels like productivity/organization tools for ADHD people is like bicycles for blind kids? Like, “yeah I can see how a functional person could find this useful, but what the heck am I going to do with it?”

      I just have a dry-erase board for planning out my week at work and at home I fly by the seat of my pants and spend months attempting to form good habits

      It took me 25 years just to start brushing my teeth once a day, no idea how long until I get it up to twice a day.

        heard recently that people with ADHD can’t form habbits in the same way neurotypicals do, thats why we struggle with this shit so often!

        I try to brush before bed, and when I shower. Thats like… 1.5 times daily (most days), i’m almost there :P

      The only way I’m able to get anything done is by externalising my memory. I just make sure I have reminders on a smartwatch so that they forcibly are brought to my attention even if I’m away from my PC/phone.
