As I mentioned I've only been doing it for like a week so take this with that in mind. It hasn't helped me do work directly or my focus(well kind of has) but it has helped my organising work and not missing tasks or things I need to do that I put off to tomorrow or next week.
I think for ADHD the time based contexts help more than the books recommended location based ones(office, home, at a computer, with a phone) since I'm pretty much always near a computer and a phone. I have
Full focus(tasks up to 30 minutes that require my full concentration)
Short dash(same but up to 15 minutes)
Brain dead(tasks that don't require much thought or concentration)
Bored(Non-work related things that I find interesting but are still kind of productive, blog posts I want to read and stuff like that)
Someday/Maybe and waiting for stuff in the future or pending other peoples actions.
I took them from a blog post I can't find right now but I find them very helpful since a lot of my wasted time or distraction is in spent deciding what to do next or in situations where I have to do something in 20 minutes so I end up spending 10 minutes finding an appropriate task then realize I'm out of time and 10 minutes reading reddit or HN.
I'm still working on the breaking tasks down to fit the 30 minute window though so I have a few longer tasks in there still but its helping.
- tumba 11y agoI have found adopting time/energy contexts to be helpful. I believe the original blog post is http://simplicitybliss.com/blog/a-fresh-take-on-contexts http://simplicitybliss.com/blog/a-fresh-take-on-contexts.
