What apps or tools help you stay on task? My biggest weakness is the “drive-by” convos where someone will verbally mention they need something, and it completely falls off my radar…. Usually by the end of the day. I need an app that I can put my to-do list in and the app will remind me everyday. Pen and paper is not enough for me. Any suggestions?

Click up is awesome!!

I put my tasks/asks and to-do list at the top of my calendar so it visually reminds me until I clear them.

Zapier. I connect it to everything I use daily and automate it to set reminders and build out my weekly to do list. I use Chat GPT for some tasks too, but that's more manual in nature and thus less helpful.

If it's the verbal requests that are the most problematic, can you ask the person to email you?

In the moment I'll rely on pen and paper. It's just always available and if I put a note in my pocket it's better than taking a chance on forgetting something. If it requires it, I'll put it where I organize things better, which is usually a spreadsheet. I find all the various organizer apps to be more trouble than they are worth, I just like spreadsheets.

Using opal app to block apps helps me be less distracted by my phone which helps me stay on task

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.

Typical college won't work for me. 4. I also can't relocate.
