Productivity ++ - Things I have Learned from Managing My ADHD
summary
Practical methods: adopt the PARA/power system (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives) and build a searchable Notion life dashboard (uses a paid "Ultimate Second Brain" template, $50) to stop relying on memory; pick a single daily highlight 60–90 min to guarantee one win; block calendar time (example day runs 9am–3pm) and run a short weekly review to resize blocks; outsource low-value chores (weekly cleaner) and use body doubling/co‑working — these steps measurably free attention and get stalled tasks done.
