Good ADHD tools do not just make a prettier list.
They reduce the next decision.
That is why I built External Brain mode in Actimate around one question:
"What should I do right now?"
Not 25 tasks. Not a perfect dashboard.
One next thing.
@dickiebush the "cut it" part is the whole skill honestly. building actimate, most of my early copy was hedging instead of naming one problem. narrowing it down is what finally made it land.
ADHD productivity hacks:
- Phone in another room for first 20 minutes of day
- Pomodoro timer set BEFORE sitting at desk
- 30-45 minute work blocks
- Second document open to write thoughts
- Named alarms
- No deep work after 4pm
- 3 reflection questions before sleep
- Body doubling for every work session
What am I missing?
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 10.
For 2 years I spit my Ritalin into bushes before school because it changed who I was.
In my 20s I tried Adderall. The work got done but my wife said I was acting weird.
I came off meds and built a system.
Now I run my own business with an ADHD brain.
Comment "CEO" for the system that changed my life.
The best ADHD productivity hack?
Get on a video call with someone.
Mute both mics and work in silence together.
Presence creates the urgency your brain can't generate alone.
It's called "body doubling".
ADHD hyperfocus sessions donโt come with an off switch.
You keep going until you crash, and end up feeling like it wasnโt enough.
A user asked me to help her define โdoneโ before the guilt kicks in.
So I built win plans in Actimate. One question: what would make today enough?
Most ADHD productivity apps don't work because they're built by neurotypical brains.
The problem is that every app assumes you'll open it.
ADHD brains need something that comes to you, attaches urgency to every task, and gets out of the way.
Watch this space.
ADHD adults work better when someone else is in the room.
Our brains can't generate urgency on their own.
Another person's presence creates the social pressure that turns thinking about the task into starting it.
This is why working in a coffee shop feels productive.
I was diagnosed with ADHD at 10 years old.
For 26 years, i've been starting things I never finish.
Today, i'm using @actimateai to change my life.
Here's how Day 1 went.
Treating ADHD with medication is like giving someone with a broken leg painkillers and telling them to walk.
The pill helps you tolerate the problem.
The problem is still there.
We don't need better pills.
We need better systems.
Forget Chat GPT.
I created Chat ADHD.
- Checks in on you when you've drifted.
- Celebrates the wins you forget you had.
- Calls you out when you're avoiding work.
Chat GPT doesn't know your neurodivergent brain.
Actimate does.
Features every ADHD productivity app should have:
- Notifications when you've drifted
- Timer attached to every task
- AI friend that calls you out
- Goals tied to who you want to become
- Voice input so you can dump thoughts fast
- Habits tracked without punishing streaks
