People with ADHD think less in silos and can form quicker parallels between different verticals. That's the formula for much of creativity, problem-solving and stand-up comedy. The main challenge in daily life is a hard time with taking decisions and prioritizing. I have been working for three years on a ADHD friendly Taskmanager as an obsessive side-project to solve exactly that daily life problem. In 6 weeks I will open it up for internal trial testing - volunteers welcome - just send me an email if you wanna join the trial (first version is Android only).

How is your task manager different from the thousands of others, including the bullet journal (which tends to work well for those with ADHD)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hLnY9L1c-M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hLnY9L1c-M

  Basically we have created a system that is very visual and which breaks tasks, projects and aspirations into workable, visual structure. Key is the UX.

    I'll volunteer (will email later). I don't have an android phone but will happily pick one up if this ends up being something I can/should use (been meaning to switch anyways).

Hello, I'm interested in your taskmanager app. Is your email [redacted]?

  Probably best not to leave someone else's email address here, so we redacted that bit.

An ADHD brain talks back. Similarly to a rebelous teenager. You need to brush your teeth. You want to do it. But the brain goes "let's just check Instagram one more time." You see, the dopamine-inducing task always wins. To do lists, books, apps work for a while, until the novelty wears off and the dopamine return is diminished. Good luck with the app. Focus on dopamine.

  > To do lists, books, apps work for a while, until the novelty wears off and the dopamine return is diminished. I used to think this meant there was no point in trying out a new productivity system because I knew it'd only be effective for a month or so... But then I had my "To Do List Epiphany": It doesn't matter if a to do list or other productivity system only works for a month--because you still got a month's productivity! A system doesn't have to be the be-all and end-all system for-all-time. Because, let's face it, people aren't going to stop coming up with new productivity systems, so, when one stops working, just move onto another one. It's okay. (With this in mind I've toyed with the idea of a productivity system generator that randomly combines elements of other approaches to keep it novel, e.g.: * Ah, so, this new productivity system called "Get It Parked" only allows you to enter half of a to-do item in an app and then the other half in a shared community physical notebook located in a park which gets burned at 9pm each day in a community ceremony. :) )
