Mastering Time & Tasks: Essential Tools for the ADHD Brain (Chapter 1)

Description: "Adulting" requires managing an endless stream of appointments, tasks, and deadlines—expectations that can feel impossible for an adult with ADHD. If you feel like you are trying to carry too many heavy objects with just your arms, you aren't alone; you need "mental wheelbarrows" to help carry the load. In this video covering *Chapter 1**, we discuss the foundational tools designed to offload information from your brain, helping you decide *what to do and when to do it. We break down why previous attempts at organization may have failed and how to stick to a system long enough to make it a habit. *📌 Key Concepts & Tools Covered:* *The Mental Wheelbarrow:* Understanding why we need external tools to enhance memory and planning capacity, rather than relying solely on brain power. *The Calendar System:* Whether digital (like Google Calendar) or paper, this tool is essential for seeing what is coming up and how long you have to prepare. *The Rules of Engagement:* Why you must use *only one* system, have access to it at all times, and check it several times a day to make it work. *Task-Tracking:* Moving away from "scraps of paper or sticky notes everywhere" to a comprehensive system that captures every single to-do item. *Priority Labeling:* How to sort a daunting list using *Due Dates* and *Importance Ratings* so you know where to focus your effort. * The A-B-C Method:* A strategy adapted from Dr. Steven Safren to categorize tasks into **A (Urgent/Important)**, **B (Important but not urgent)**, and **C (Easy/Not urgent)**. *Avoiding "C-Task Land":* Recognizing "productive procrastination"—when we tidy our desks or check email to avoid the stress of "A Tasks". *Question of the day:* When you look at your to-do list, do you tend to get stuck in "C-Task Land" doing the easy stuff first?
