OP - Something that has worked for me is to strike a balance between updating to-do lists and strategically grouping and prioritizing tasks. Since we crave for dopamine and task completion gives exactly that, it's very easy to get lost in mundane tasks just to tick a checkbox than do actual work that adds value.
I start my day with around 30 min to an hour of completing quick tasks on my list to get that reward juice flowing and then switch to more intensive work. Then repeat the same cycle but for shorter duration late afternoon.
I really like this approach!
Ooh I’m very curious if anyone has transcription ideas. A good one would be a godsend honestly, but I just have never found one that’s good enough
Otter.ai for transcribing
How does it work in practice? Do you have a call on your laptop and record/transcribe on your phone?
The bullet journal planner has been super helpful. I keep it super plain and simple else I get caught up in “prettifying” it, but the framework has really been useful. I combine that with using electronic reminders on my calendar and phone. And a big analog clock/timer on my desk to help me be aware of time passing.
I have found it super helpful to be kind of blunt with my team members (and anytime I work with someone new) about my working style: “I work best when I have time to iterate on a deliverable; when I have someone else help hold me accountable to meeting deadlines; and when I’m given deadlines that have some cushion baked into them.”
I try to triple my first reaction when it comes to estimating time/my capacity.
And I ask for help from people who appear to have really strong executive functioning skills aka “hey can you take the lead on scheduling” and finding ways to balance your strengths with your challenge areas. I will ask the Director I report to for help with prioritization, and practice trying to say “no” more often then “yes.”
I’m a big note taker (personally my brains processing means reading transcripts isn’t enough) I found having a separate note book for tasks I can check off and one for just general notes to be great. So no action items get lost
I usually end up going back and scribbling giant stars or something by the to-dos after. Hardly a great system. I haven’t checked into any templates but I will, appreciate it!
On the topic of note taking, is there a consensus on what works better for ADHD folks - typing V. writing?
Same here EY2.
I like drawing things out and generally making things very divided, columns, bullets, circles, shapes, scribbling arrows and like & the freedom to do that when I’m writing. Later I can’t always make out all that I wrote though lol.
I like using an app so I have it on my desktop and my phone. No matter where I am or what I’m doing - work or personal - 95% of the time I have one of those devices with me. And I can search quickly to find what I need vs wondering which of my fifty notebooks it’s in 😂. I have 3 moleskins on my desk rn alone...
I record and write down key items and timestamps for any key items I missed.
