How do you keep on task?

Question

As a person with ADHD it’s very easy for me to get lost into something and not complete what I set out to do that day. I combat this by planning my day the night before and only focus on those things the next day.

How do you stay on task for the day and what tools are you using to assist, if any?

I feel you, and planning the night before has also helped for me. I also just stick to 3 things that will move the needle daily

@yukioyama that’s a good strategy. If anything gets done it’s going to be those three things.

To continue and complete tasks, I prioritize based on urgency and importance, breaking larger projects into manageable steps. Setting clear goals and deadlines creates focus and structure. Employing productivity techniques like the Pomodoro method helps maintain steady progress. Regular breaks enhance concentration and prevent burnout. Motivation is sustained by tracking achievements and rewarding milestones. If stuck, I seek assistance or resources to overcome obstacles. Staying organized with tools such as to-do lists and calendars ensures a consistent workflow and timely completion of tasks. Adaptability is crucial for unexpected changes.

Hello! As a fellow neurospicy person here I find time blocking with categories of tasks I need to do rather than specific rigid tasks to be really helpful! For example, I will split my mornings into development time and marketing time and I select one item from a prioritized list in that category to work on for that time chunk. It allows me flexibility in my routines while still keeping me productive and moving the needle on my projects.
