I have never been diagnosed with ADHD but I've recently noticed that I have many ADHD brain type of habits and tendencies. It takes what feels like an incredible amount of willpower and effort to stay on task and follow a time-blocking schedule but I'll try it for tomorrow. I think time-blocking can potential help people who easily get distracted or have a hard time focusing on what they planned to do but it is a goal for myself to find out what works to live a good life. One thing that I've been thinking a lot about lately is that what works for one person may not work for another person, just because we are all unique. But I think we can always learn from one another and try things out for ourselves to see what works and doesn't.
I think we're in the same boat....Never been diagnosed, living in a developing country,even the word schizophrenia is a rare sight let alone as something as adult ADHD.... anyway eventhough if I don't have ADHD I may have induced ADHD like symptoms through never exercising my executive part of thinking, dopamine stuff(youtube binging and porn, could've been addicted to more like Tiktok,Netflix and other stuff ) for years
Am I the only ADHD’r who feels overwhelmed at times with technology and all the changing learning curves that it *requires* to just FUNCTION in everyday life??? ( opening doors, orders, communication, etc, etc.). It truly feels impossible at times.
@@ameliafoley9569 I know!🙆🏼♀️ technology frustrates me because it’s such a gateway to meeting so many of our essential needs. It’s become a carrot 🥕 used by the gov & big business. Seems NBD for them to change the routes at any given time. It’s seems particularly unjust to some people groups, including us ADHD folk!
I think it works for ADHD until something thats really out of the routine breaks it... the RSD/Emotional after effect would make it hard to continue using it
The only way i can ever make calendar blocking work is to keep using a task list but use calendar blocking at a "global" level for groups of tasks. For example "clean house" set as a teo hour block (with the individual tasks for the atnoroject being on a tod-do list), "process email" set as a one gour block, etc. Then as im doing the "project" i can either fo withbthe flow (i.e. aee the next obvuous thing to clean) or check my task list dor the next action...

oh my goodness, that's exactly the kind of strategy i've thought about implementing!
