This again? A blog post stuffed with stolen art and often heard but absolutely not working advice?
> Every morning, I start my day by planning it out in a custom template that displays my Google Calendar events and Todoist task list.
For real? One of the best ADHD tools I am aware of is called the Anti Planner.
It doesn't take long to find posts like "why to-do lists don't work for people with ADHD" https://coachjessicamichaels.com/2022/03/30/why-to-do-lists-dont-work-for-people-with-adhd/ https://coachjessicamichaels.com/2022/03/30/why-to-do-lists-...
Also, this blog post misses body doubling which is incredibly helpful and can even be done virtually with focusmate or a similar service (I use focusmate personally but I do want to spam so no referral link or crap like that). Indeed, for me the only way to swallow a frog is focusmate.
- klysm 3y agoI feel similar with the “every morning” stuff. The problem is I have a very hard time making some happen every morning.
- piperswe 3y agoSame here. I have never been able to intentionally build a routine for just about anything, despite the autistic part of me aggressively wanting routine.
- klysm 3y agoI find I love the ideas of structure and routine, and fully grasp the importance of maintaining invariants and discipline, but utterly fail to apply those concepts to my life. Rather frustrating

- blitz_skull 3y agoYeah but ADHD is different for everyone. Most if not all of the strategies mentioned work for me. > stolen art It looked AI-generated to me.

- skeaker 3y agoYour source does not support your claim. They say that if every single individual piece of data used to train a model was to be paid out, there would be a lot of payouts. You could just as easily say that if you had to pay the state for every step you took on the sidewalk, you would have to pay the state a lot. This does not prove that you are indebted to the state for millions in sidewalk usage because fortunately for you the law has not decided to make you pay for using the sidewalk, just as it has not decided to make training data have to pay per file.
- chx 3y ago> just as it has not decided to make training data have to pay per file. That's quite exactly what the copyright law states, though. I never thought the day will come when I root for Getty Images but the techbros have managed to do it. Congrats, I guess?
- zigman1 3y ago> post stuffed with stolen art and often heard but absolutely not working advice? But it gets you to the HN front page!
- charles_f 3y agoYes, the morning routine and "at the end of the day" journaling are things that I never successfully implemented. Thanks for pointing to body doubling and anti planner. They seem like interesting concepts. Do you have any others that are worth checking?
- chx 3y agoFollow Jesse Anderson's Extra Focus substack (there's a book too), his newsletter helps you understand ADHD much more than anything I know of. And there are useful tips too. Remember, if it works for you, it's not weird :)
