What apps help with ADHD?

by

I recently had the opportunity to interview Eric Tivers about some of his favorite apps to manage productivity with ADHD.  He started with an excellent point that when thinking about productivity and project management, the basics need to be in place first before we focus too much on the wide variety of apps that are available.

Once the basics are in place, three apps that he recommends are:

  • Priority Matrix
  • Calendars 5
  • Simple Minds

Listen to this episode of Practical ADHD strategies below:

In addition to these apps, I highly recommend using the banking app from your bank.  You can save time by depositing checks, transferring money and checking balances.

Completing Tasks With ADHD

by

Are your tasks completionable?

Completionable? It is a new word! If a task is “completionable”, it means that you can reasonably expect to complete your task in a reasonable amount of time.

My experience is that to do lists often contain tasks that cannot be completed in a reasonable amount of time.  This results in to do lists that cannot be completed.  Sounds frustrating doesn’t it?

On a recent episode of my radio show, Practical ADHD Strategies, I explained…

  • What it means for a task to be “completionable.”
  • How to know if your tasks are “completionable.”
  • How you can make your tasks more “completionable” and your to do list more effective.

Listen in below.

Learning about ADHD

by

Learn more about ADHD to better manage ADHD.

This seems to come naturally for parents of children with ADHD, but it is equally important for adults who have (or suspect they have) Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.  When you learn more about ADHD, , you can best evaluate how to manage it.  You will also be able to learn best practices that others use.  Below I have compiled some of my recommendations.

Some general tips

  • Check your sources.  Be sure they are based in sound research principles.
  • Beware of extremes, especially when sources are talking about “cures”.  I recently saw an article that claimed to share the “cure” to ADHD and it really concerned me.  I do not like to see people being misled.  There is not a “cure” for ADHD, but there are many different options to managing ADHD.  Remember, if something sounds to good to be true, it probably is!
  • Stay current.  Research regarding ADHD is ongoing so we can learn new information over time.
