The lighter side of ADHD
I’ve always been such a shitty note taker in a classroom setting that I neglected even trying to write things down in a professional setting, and while it certainly isn’t a real fix it does help to just keep a moleskin and pen nearby all the time. Note apps are fabulous in functionality but I will ignore them, so having a physical one nearby helps a lot
My thoughts are like tears in rain.
JOURNAL, it feels so much better. If you're into that kind of thing.
I've been using logseq for the past two months. It does help.
I have a weekly planner for the year, a daily workbook, and then just a plain old diary, and I don't know how anyone copes without at least these three.
In the bed isn't bad at all, I just get my phone to note it. It just never happens in the bed, cuz I'm either sleeping, watching YT or having fun. It only happens while driving (without medication) or showering, or nearly everything else where you are actively doing something (which one should concentrate on).
The reason why I have ten alarms set every workday lol.
I really wish Google Calendar allowed you to change your default notification from 10 min though. Who the fuck can get anywhere or do anything in 10 min?
My default would need to be 1 day, 1 hour. Workdays 1 hour, and a 10 min.
It also needs to alarm instead of message tone. Would be nice.
Use a different calendar app. I use One Calendar currently.
Also, Calendar Notifications has been a godsend, it allows me to snooze events for predefined or even custom times.
My secret is notes. Lots of notes. Spread over surfaces that you can't help looking at.
