Realised today that "calendars/to-do-lists" used to be a really good thing in my life but that is no longer that case and I wonder if other ADHD brains have experienced this?

Pre-digital I always had lists of things that I needed to get done, and of course a fraction of things ever made it off the list BUT some things did and that was a win.

I feel now my to-do-list via calendar gets list inside tiny little boxes on a tiny little screen and I don't look at my calendar anyway it's rubbish. Thanks Google. I tried using a to-do-list in my note-taking system (UpNote) but again that is a deluge of information and I can barely focus attention on the most urgent note I'm working on and the to-do-list gets looked once every three months instead.

I am not doing any of this well, and that's making me unhappy.

Not saying it will cure my procrastination or lack of focus, but maybe someone else is doing this better and can share.

@ewen I use a (digital) calendar only to remember things which have to happen at a certain exact time - meetings, trains/planes, that sort of thing.
Other things I write down in my daily work journal (with a pen that I find pleasant to use, on paper that’s also nice!), and like others I tick them off as they’re done or copy them to the next day if necessary. Also like others, I find actual physical writing gets my brain working in some magic and useful way.

I feel this is my future.
