- Put all these on your desktop.
- When your desktop fills up, make a folder called "Old Desktop" and copy everything into it.
i set some google reminders once and the same ones fire off every day.
every.
day.
For some reason they're very picky about how you deal with them. If you just dismiss the reminder, it'll pop back up at the same time the next day even if it was only a one time reminder. But if you mark it as done, it'll go away completely even if you set it to remind you every day. I missed a dose of my antidepressant that way once lol, I told it to remind me every day, marked it as done after the first time, and then it never reminded me again
I've tried to understand google's reminders for like a decade. I have one weekly reminder that works for me and I'm afraid of adding any new reminders for fear of breaking that one important reminder.
I personally switched to setting events in google calendar and then setting notifications for them, that seems to work for me. Except for my medicine, I use a dedicated app for that, since it does stuff like reminding me to refill something when it starts to get low
Literally "Have you thought about having yet another task to keep track of (maintaining a list)"
The most success I've had is a refrigerator white board or post it notes. I'll end up covering the damn thing.
me, ten alarms in and still studiously ignoring them: "i sure am glad i spent time setting all those alarms up!"
Yup. They have no idea what the mechanisms we’re working with are like.
create a folder called txt and throw everything in there. problem solved.
My partner has ADHD, and making a list does help them, but there's two tricks to it. 1, I need to do it with them to keep them on track. 2, we start by listing things in order of importance and I stress that once the tasks are on the page, that's where they live. Only when we cross one out to start the task does it exist. It helps (as much as possible) my partner focus on one task by telling their brain that the other tasks are stored somewhere else and there is only the one task to think about.
It's kind of an involved process, but once they get started they usually finish the whole list without any help to keep them on track.
This, but with healthy doses of imposter syndrome and doubt too.
"Maybe I'm just lazy" is on repeat in the back of my head.
I use an app called Power Tags. It syncs with your google or outlook calendar and instead of notifying you, it’s an actual alarm that keeps playing annoyingly until you manually dismiss it
