5 productivity tools that *actually* work for ADHD

[@mimmidauria5405]

Anyone else has a problem in actually keep updating these kind of productivity apps? Like my brain gets bored or overwhelmed after a while

[@tsuki3752]

yep. one thing that has *actually* been a life changer for me is accepting that due to my adhd, new is always the best, so i try not to be down on myself when a system stops working. i just move on and maybe one day ill get back into it. it sucks bc it makes you overwhelmed w the systems you have but it is what it is.

[@laisroupinha]

​@@tsuki3752I'm trying to accept the same thing, but also identifying to what system I return when the old/new shiny is not shining anymore

[@felunia.]

yeah same. i opnly could stick to onenote for the study notes and all other random notes for "google keep". also for productivity, i can stick to "fabolous" and "clarify adhd" and almost all google apps. google calendar and google tasks are my mind maps and are like to do's and all over my main page/and side page on my phone

[@akoyaahime]

​@@tsuki3752 aaaa same! I used notion for a whole one year and it was perfect but then I started hating it out of nowhere and turn into google calendar, and sometimes when google calendar doesn't work I go back to notion for simple to-do lists and when those doesn't work I create a silly excel sheet where I organize projects and then repeat, just jumping through different apps. You will also find a whole project organized on paper from time to time lol. When I accepted this it actually got better! Tired of this app? don't push it, just jump to the one you feel like using that day haha

[@radioxerox7698]

I saw a post in a similar vein that went like "why is - the best method to help with sticking to a schedule - regularly taking a pill every day at the same time" hah

[@kaikai9849]

My Notion experience is similar to how ppl play new MMORPGs, 90% in the character customization and 10% actually playing. I spent so long learning how to make layouts and how embeds work on Notion and how to make really cute pages but never actually use it or update it properly

[@WesleyAnna]

HAHAHA why is this so accurate

[@ameliehp]

Notion is like excel sheets on steroids, it's based with databases. It is wonderful for everything related to databases but for scheduling... nop! And it's not because Notion is bad, it's because it's really not made for that 😊

[@kaikai9849]

@@ameliehp yeah and i did use it a lot for logging stuff like lists of my fav books, which is very useful but my adhd hinders me from updating said data, rendering it useless

[@Tsukiimy]

i use it only for checklists from work. Like i have about 25 business and 7 things to check in each, and then i get distracted and my brain deletes all the things i did, but doing it twice is worse so.... checking each step on notion it is. For life and other thing i COULD NEVER. I forget to update it and when i don't forget to update it i forget i updated it and use a totally different method to go about my day.

[@kaikai9849]

@@ameliehp yeah but i AM using it to just track data, like reading lists, watch lists, quotes, articles, research papers, and habit trackers. but the thing is i never update them until like 2 months later and at that point I forgot most of what I wanted to keep track of in the first place. Its an "out of sight out of mind" thing for me.

[@wa_akii6873]

honestly i downloaded notion as a productivity app and then i got distracted & just used it for planning my daydream worlds and creative stuff im working on (which works INSANELY WELL i have everything organized so well im so happy with it, i definitely reccomend it for this kinda use)

[@highland42]

yeah to me notion works best as a digital notebook. any time i try to implement some type of daily system i never keep up with it

[@mytrikah]

Last time I used notion I spent DAYS making a detailed stardew template with the game's icons and stuff. I spent so much time on it that my stardew hyperfocus passed and I didn't use the template once lol. Happens every time with notion, no planning/organisation only design 😂

[@lynnlooi5346]

Same, I originally wanted to use it as a note taking app, but it turned out better if I just use it for organising stuff. So that’s what I did.

[@PegzieBean]

Mine ended up being a page within a page within a page and could only be found through this page.... I made a maze for myself on Notion lol

[@ameliehp]

​@@WesleyAnnamaybe instead of talking bad about Notion you could explain what it's actually made for and should be used for :) Notion is a really good and powerfull tool, really not made for time scheduling but amazing for other things. I always compare the app to excel sheets, but on steroids. Would we do to-do lists on excel? In 2024? No way 😂 So it doesn't seem logic to do it in Notion if you know what the app is made for. I am building Notion systems for professionnal use and it's with no surprise that I confirm that no task tracking is included in it. But it combines every excel sheets combined, supercharged, organized, with automations, status, etc. Easy to build? Not that much for most people. Easy to get lost in it? Omg yes. But bad? Worth being talked badly about? Certainly not. I just think it's sad that too many youtubers think it's good to talk about it as a task manager. They sell or give templates that will never be the right way to use Notion. It makes people waste time. Notion, the more it is pretty, the more it has widgets, the more it becomes cluttered and useless! As I said in an other comment.. I think I will try akiflow when I am done with my usemotion subscription, it seems nice :)

as someone with audhd, no organization app has been as useful for my brain as just a big bujo-style spreadsheet i designed and coded for myself. bit more work to setup, but it really allows you to customize to your needs and will never have additional features that you don't use & end up being distractions (as is inevitable with apps, which need to meet broad audience needs). xtiles interested me since it looks very similar to my sheet setup, just with more features. it would distract me as a daily organizer but i'm definitely gonna look into it as a board for writing/creative projects!

A lot of people, myself included, have ADD and not ADHD making it very hard to even try things. For me aesthetically pleasing apps help a lot because I actually want to go look at them. Switching to a mac helped a LOT more than I expected because the computer itself is lovely.

[@VioletEmerald]

They renamed it all to ADHD and i think ADHDers need things to be aesthetically pleasing. You don't fidget or talk fast or think in a lot of directions kinda in quick succession or anything remotely hyperactive? You have "inattentive type" ADHD maybe which idk what that does or doesn't mean in practice but. People don't really have ADD these days. It's all ADHD.

Hey Wesley, didn't know you had ADHD. I was diagnosed recently and I also had purchased your Notion template AND even used it for awhile. But you're right it gets overwhelming very fast for ADHD brains so I abandoned it as it seems too complicated. You mentioned how you try to keep your Notion clean. I would LOVE to see a video of how you use it nowadays. Thanks for all the awesome content! 💗

Ahh I’m sorry you had that experience! If you ever need some hand holding feel free to bug me on IG or via email 😊 but yes that’s a great idea, i may dig more into some simplifying videos in the future

[@Ghost-lt4sf]

Super seconding this! I also have ADHD and also purchased the template. I went so far as to add a lot of my projects and notes there, but I definitely went overboard and overwhelmed myself. Now I only open it to keep track of my wishlist and video games I'm playing. 🥲 Would also love to see how Wesley uses it nowadays!

It seems like a lot of people liked the video and were excited about the suggestions you made, especially xTiles. I definitely agree with them, your recommendations are the best.

[@Linguiini]

I love how you explained APIs as a "key given to developers" and made it feel like an approachable thing. It's impossible to live without relying on technology, but most of us don't actually know what goes into creating it. I would love if you could share "basic" information based on knowledge/skills you build in your career (e.g basic design principles, how to judge if a website/app/software was designed well as the user, technical background/capabilities everyone should understand at least a little bit, etc.)

[@WesleyAnna]

ooo very interesting ideas here! we definitely take so much of tech for granted. I was actually thinking of doing a mini online comp-sci course just to understand the basics of some of this stuff 🥲 (I only understand some web dev terms bc of my UI/UX background, but would love to learn more and share!)

[@Linguiini]

@@WesleyAnna it could also just help raise awareness and appreciation for all the capabilities we have on our fav apps/systems now. I joined a prod mgmt ops team a few years go and it opened my eyes to how much labor and strategic planning is required for what users think are simple things (e.g the user research, market/industry analysis, the actual dev work, refinements, QA, etc just to know where to place a button, the label or icon assigned to it, and where it goes to)

[@SmallSpoonBrigade]

APIs may involve literal crypto keys, but more broadly, it's just providing access to third parties that don't necessarily require access to the source code.

love your videos!honestly, i feel like notion isn't working for me it feels really frustrating and im literally just using google docs, slides, sheets! haha anyhow, i enjoy your notion videos and as far as ive watched this one, its going great!

Notion can be SO fun to customize, but the friction is real! It's certainly not for everyone and there's nothing wrong with using multiple apps for different things, so don't feel bad if you want to give other tools a try. :)

I have been backpacking the last few months and I noticed (what is often dismissed in the ideal morning routine) your physical environment. I lived in a small town at home in Germany where I could easily run 5 K after work bc it’s a) safe and b) parc nearby In other parts of the world it’s either too unsafe or no close place nearby or it might get dark before you leave work etc. what I am saying is it’s not always possible to copy this „perfect morning routines“ from influencers on the other side of the world

Thank you so much for this video. Notion is so frustrating because its not intuitive to work with, and like you said, has its limits on basic conveniences you would expect on a planning app. I really want to love it and I understand that the interface is more "technical" due to its use of databases and formulas, but even learning to code is more intuitive than leaning to use notion. Some of the processes and limits on it just don't make sense. Anyways, i'm going to try these apps and if it doesn't work, i'll just have to keep using your notion videos to power through lol

I'm embarrassed to be saying this, and I promise I only use it on my work computer because i have no choice but... Edge has all of the features Arc does and has done for some time! Plus, the vertical tabs collapse when you're looking at pages, it has list collections of tabs, collections you can save, and split tabs is a quick button, and is fairly intuitive 🥲. Otherwise, I use Firefox on my all my personal devices for privacy reasons... but I do really miss those Edge features as the Firefox vertical tree sucks.

Routinery is interesting for me, I am a bullet journal person but I use weekly & monthly spreads- day to day stuff I can’t really track the same way. Just not the way my brain works- plus my schedule cannot be the same every day, my sleep issues don’t allow it, so I can’t use time to track things because I can’t go to bed or wake up the same time everyday.

Universal calendar is mindblowing

[@ericburnett8163]

Routinery having default times for suggested tasks made me feel like this little app really does have my back lol

[@CEL-on-the-net]

edge already has all that that one has but the youtube play toggle rlly got me

[@nocedias]

i love arc so much

[@thatbberg]

I loooove Routinery but the absolute first thing I did when trying it off was turning off the voice notifications 🤣 Since I was using it for my evening routine late at night, the voice out of nowhere just scared me out of my routine lol.

Glad the algorithm showed me this video! 😂 Subscribed after hearing we got a lot of the same ADHD probs (time blindness is my worst enemy)

[@sunchaserz]

Now I'm overwhelmed by all the productivity apps and am on a rabbit hole of figuring out which one works exactly to my needs while my actual work is piling up....What is if it's not perfect? What if it creates more stress? 😅

[@NathanDoran2099]

This was very informative, thank you!

[@gileneusz]
