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've changed over the years, from using emails to calendar entries as reminders. All of that stopped working+ privacy concerns, so now I use my phone alarms as reminders (I set an alarm for specific dates and times for my to do events). And pieces of paper for daily to do lists, which may at most last a couple of days. Much better. Still use a calendar for planning, but moving that to proton.

Interesting how many folks here are saying that any solution is a temporary solution in reality.

I just have to accept that.
