@lifewithtrees@mstdn.social @autistics@fedigroups.social @actuallyadhd@fedigroups.social It took me a very long time to realise that the GTD method for tasks, which has become the standard, just doesn't work with ADHD. And me being AuDHD - there's the contradiction between order and chaos. So. It's just too overwhelming and impossible to manage.
I've ended up using two different separate task managers to work together more like how my brain does. One is an open source app called Planify - which is a typical GTD type app, where tasks are categorised in projects, then with sub tasks, in that Hierarchical way. But I use this more to plan and plot things out - and which appeases the Autism part of my brain.
But, the ADHD part of my brain stops me from actually prioritising and executing tasks across the different hierarchical tree. So I've ended up using a second task manager called WeekToDo, which looks like someone's project to learn coding, and probably won't ever be updated.
However, it is just this simple daily columns where you add tasks in a list. I found it much more efficient to look at the other task manger for the 'big picture', and then just add all the immediate little things in the second one for over the next few days to a week.
If I don't complete a task in one daily column, it will push it over to the next day. This way I can see tasks building up, prioritise and undertake them, before it all builds up to a point of being too overwhelming - and my ADHD brain just forgets they exist and goes somewhere else.
I hope this is in some way slightly helpful. Take care.
