   Thank you for your message! You are absolutely right, and I have actually tried lots of different things and abandoned just as many methods after only a few days. But what pushed me to write this article is that this time, it was different.

   That gives me an idea. We could have some kind of random character that comes out with each task from the printer, with different rarity levels. It is an idea that might hook some people and help them stay consistent. Yes, I have a printer

   I am glad to see that I am not the only one doing this :)

   I am a developer and I actually struggle with this myself. That is why I use the app I showed in the video in the article. When I get stuck on a task, I break it down into smaller tasks. But at first, I only write basic logical steps. I do

   Cleaning the entire house is first and foremost a gigantic task that many people tend to procrastinate. Cleaning your desk, on the other hand, is quick to do and much less likely to be put off.

   Ah, the idea of the two boxes is super interesting! Your wife will have the easiest and most satisfying task :p

   Thank you :) It is a piece of software I developed myself using Tauri. The only major difficulty is that you need to send a specific format to these printers. But there are plenty of libraries that make it fairly easy to do.

   Your remark is very interesting. I was recently thinking that ADHD is kind of like an allergy to the modern world.

    Actually, my method works even with very very very little motivation. The idea is that having a list of easy, routine micro-tasks ready in the morning gives you momentum. Even on a day when I have no motivation at all, I still reach a basic

    I also had good results with bullet journaling, but I had consistency issues. The advantage of the ticket printer is that it is much quicker to print. But I also have the advantage of working from home, so I do not need two separate systems

    I understand perfectly, when I'm curious or it's new it's so easy!

    You've started a very interesting discussion. I think that unfortunately nothing replaces paper. I understand Paul's comment, I have an infinite mess on my computer but on my desk I only have my paper tasks.

    I do not use tickets with bisphenol (it is banned in Europe).

    I am the author, and thank you for your comment! What I am talking about is really very different from the Pomodoro method. That method uses 25-minute sessions, while I am talking about micro-tasks of 2 to 5 minutes printed on receipt ticke

    Yes, I thought about it, but I was afraid I might hurt myself stupidly one day :p

    It is coming along more and more. But I think the core is being able to handle a lot more tasks, and therefore being able to easily break them down into smaller ones. That is really the heart of the game loop. I am working on an app!

    Yes, same here. I also struggle to stay consistent with a journal.

    Thank you for your comment, it really means a lot to me! I put so much time (and heart) into making it that a comment like yours is the best reward I could ask for. Haha, I’m planning to make a real mini-game for an upcoming article!

    Thanks for your comment! I have the same question as hyperific — which app are you using?

    Oh, did you procrastinate finishing the article? :)

    I totally understand! Just for this article, I restarted it 12 times! What really made a difference for me was starting very very very very very small, with almost no ambition. That is truly the most important point in my article, but I am

    Thanks for your comment! I totally relate to the way you described it! You can try my solution in a really simple way using post-it notes. Just do a few tests and see if it works for you!

    Oh yeah, I don’t think you’ll be able to remove them. If you’re referring to the photo I included in the article, it’s actually just not a good idea. I only stuck the tickets on a vertical surface to get a good photo.
