#Dolphin file manager. You can make pretty icons for your folders, I'll take my pretty where I can get it.

#adhd Clarity 08

I keep .txt journals on every subject, money, health, comms...

Why? I use them when I have to type a lot of words. When my thinking is looping, they're my kind and supportive boss that I talk things through with, you know?

#adhd Clarity 07

I use bits of paper for little notes about the real world. Don't know why, it just feels good.

#adhd Clarity 06

Google calendar and tasks for things that have to happen on a particular date.

Calendar if I have to leave the house or someone's coming to my house.

Tasks for when I'm going no further than the computer.

Why? Multiple device visibility, I can set things to recur, other reasons that I can't recall right now.

#adhd Clarity 05

I use #libreoffice calc (spreadsheets) for list that need more sorting, stuff that needs dated checking off, addings up. Why? Mindmaps are clunky for this kind of thing.

#adhd Clarity 04

I use mindmapping app Freeplane for my first level of todo and howtodo lists.

Why?

I can add pretty icons, move stuff up and down and over there really easily.

#adhd Clarity 03

My task lists are peppered with "stop and reward yourself." Being an animal trainer, I've named them click-treats.

I've managed to convince myself that ironing, hoovering, washing a cup etc, count as rewards for getting up from the computer. It's not that much of a lie, a cleaner/tidier thing is a quick win, yes?

#adhd Clarity 02

I do not "eat the frog first." My whole day stinks if I try that. Instead, I work to turn all frogs into princes. Although generally speaking, I'm not that keen on real princes, it's a lot easier to type than "reward cascade".

#adhd Clarity 01

My struggle to get clarity, more #dopamine, #adhdfriendly executive function systems is a MISSION.

#introduction

I can do that.
