My favourite way to deal with adhd is to create a schedule with a detailed plan for every task that i must do, and then ignore it.
I created a whole system involving intricatly formatted todo lists saved in markdown files that are then parsed by a python script managed by node red to remind me what I should be doing. I haven’t updated the todo list in a month and I just totally ignore the daily reminders.
The big task is overwhelming so I ignore it.
And suddenly none of component tasks seem so important they need my immediate attention when it is broken down.
But also… there are SO many of them, and that’s overwhelming.
Plus I’m tired from the cognitive labor of breaking all those big tasks into smaller subtasks.
But at least you didn’t forget to bring all the pixels.
At least if it’s written down you forget about it only until you’re on a productivity spree where you clean all the skirting boards, behind furniture, inside and behind appliances, and the drains.
I write the small manageable tasks onto post it notes so I physically do an act and then have clearly done the actual thing and can go about my life.
makes it even harder to start
