ADHD

What are you favorite apps or tools to help you focus and stay focused? 🙏🏻

(this is a cry for help)

/new-york by day 🗽 /untzuntz by night 😈 Fan of eating tacos and bringing people together, often at the same time 🌮

apps dont work too well for me.

heres what i do
- make a list with checkboxes
- set a timer
- remove anything that can be distracting from eye sight. take your phone out of your pocket and put it in a cabinet.
- play some lofi, instrumental music
- turn on dnd everywhere
- dont context switch, if compiling, wait.

making a list is really underrated imo if you're adhd leaning cause you can look at it and see everything.

all you have to do is complete the next item. nothing else matters.

and for breaking things down, it works i think because it creates momentum. checking off a box feels great, no matter how small.

beware of red herring as well, sometimes when i can't focus its because im procrastinating or dont know what to do. maybe the problem is hard or there's too many things.

for hard problems: break it down into smaller parts until its easy and obvious.
for too many things: make a list
