Does anyone use an adhd productivity app that has actually helped you? I tried motion but couldn’t keep up with readjusting the to-do tasks all the time and got overwhelmed and gave up lmao. I’m thinking about trying inflow. Any thoughts?

I’ve tried many and just can’t stick with it. Updating the app is just another task.
I’d be interested in an AI product that generates tasks for me based on inbound and lets me make edits status updates just by talking to it. But based on my history, I’d probably just get really excited to use it at first, pay for a premium subscription, stop using it, and forget to cancel.

I’ve had great success with calendaring time to complete the tasks from my to do list. Instead of noting X is due by 5pm Friday, I block off time on my calendar to complete X. It’s great and helps you see what your bandwidth is. If the end of your week is slammed you can work a little later on M/T to avoid a Friday all-nighter

Outside of productivity apps, I’ve had some luck with binaural beats apps. They help focus my mind. I don’t know what’s available on Android, but on Apple I like Brainwave. For me, the “Focused and Alert” setting in that works better than the Concentrate setting, but YMMV. I also sleep to the “Deep Sleep/Wake Up” program all night. Works like a charm. You need headphones or they don’t work, though. There’s also one called BW Studio that uses timed beats instead of binaural beats to generate specific brain waves.

Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

One of my frustrations with myself (writing it out here so I can work on it) is that I will print out something that I need, such as a traffic collision report. I will read it without actually reading it. This results in spending time without actually retaining info. Does this happen to anyone else? I’ve found that I can actually focus when I truly force myself, but often this happens after I’ve discovered an error or an important piece of information that I should have noticed earlier.

Can anyone offer advice for helping with adderall side effects? I was diagnosed a few months ago and I am new to medication.
