laughs in ADHD did you just assume I'd have the attention span for that?

It wouldn't work for me anyway. I tried 😔

I added everything to my calendar for about two weeks. It just gave me more notifications to ignore. And added to the general air of guilt that follows me around like a stale guff.

But it's a great tip for a lot of people. It's just some of us (ADHD folks especially) need to go 'root cause' rather than 'band aid'.

Yeah I don't deny that that tip can be helpful but not for everyone

My thought as well, I would use my energy up on creating the list and poof it’s gone out of mind…for how long 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeah, I just imagine setting it up months ahead during a hyperfocus session (easily possible) then missing the first planned task and giving up completely because now it needs to be replanned.

At least an undated task list would still have it listed.

I'm testing out some sort of outlook task list today. I added four things to it at the end of work yesterday, and it will give me reminders in the time frame I estimated each task would take. If I'm successful I'll task up Monday. However, I have a training the rest of next week so then I won't be in practice for this and everything will probably fall apart, but whatever at least I know how I'll fail...
