Thank u so much for your answer 💗 i am also in my early twenties (21) so this is gives me some motivation that i can have my shit together too 🤡 I have ADHD and it’s either I am very productive or absolutely not a functional human 😩 I especially have a hard time with my sleep schedule I could manage it last semester and set up a routine but this semester I have insomnia and my energy levels are so low 😭 do you have some apps to help u manage your goals? Or you write on paper? I want to set a system but I’m not sure how to !
Also what is your MBTI?
hello again, i'm glad i could help a bit! ☺️ although i've never been diagnosed, i relate so much to your situation, love. hope these help you! and now i'm also curious about your MBTI if you want to share 👀
apps i use 📱
YouTube — ok, not your standard productivity app, but hear me out: it's incredibly motivating when i can watch my favorite vloggers (ones who embody non-toxic productivity, good habits, and in general, aspects of the healthy and wholesome life i want to lead myself) and be inspired for the week/day/month/year ahead! i also use it to keep myself on task with easy-but-not-too-easy-listening playlists so that i don't get bored and zone out or something, and of course it's where i get all my comprehensible input for language learning! i'm a firm believer that it's not the took but rather how you use it. deleting social media doesn't work half as well as training yourself to use it in ways that serve you. yes, it takes more time and effort and there will be times you feel like you're backsliding, but it feels so good when you get into a healthy groove with it, trust me!
Standard Notes — no frills, great privacy, edit history so you can always roll back, super clean and easy to use. i love lists and this is great for that. definitely do an audit and purge every now and then no matter what app you use or else you'll always find yourself not knowing where you're at or where you need to be! i also use it to draft emails, important messages, even stuff i want to remember to say at work meetings (planning things in advance helps me orient myself better in the present to action on my goals~). i used it to journal as well before, but nowadays i journal longhand also because i want to practice handwriting in Korean/Chinese.
Notion — i use this more for long-term stable tracking/lists like Life Goals™️ (literally just a bucket list that i intend to evaluate once a year, but i give into the urge to do it roughly every quarter, lol). so if something's been in my Standard Notes for a while and hasn't changed, or i notice myself journaling about it regularly, i might transfer it out to Notion. i also manage my course notes and program plan here because i like being able to quickly search for things.
Tumblr — the challenges i've been doing are all that's keeping me accountable sometimes 😅 when it comes to goal-setting, something about needing to articulate as if someone else is going to read it helps me be more realistic and clear about what i want to achieve. the community support is also very motivating 🙏
Calm — the sleep/breathwork meditations help me a lot when i'm too wired or anxious to sleep. the also have some energizing ones that help when i need to be awake but feel too low energy🔋
Clock App — literally, just set an alarms for when you want to go to sleep. i recently turned mine off because i've gotten into the habit so much that it's more annoying than actually serving a purpose now, but in the beginning it helped me a lot. set them aggressively too, like the way you would when you want to make sure you wake up, like one to go off every five minutes for like an hour 😂 also since i'm juggling work, school, etc, it's very useful for making sure i get to all my appointments on time!
what i keep track of on paper 📝
journal entries — as i mentioned, i like doing this longhand lately as it feels more therapeutic when i'm writing myself out of a non-functional period.
school to-do list/daily planner — i don't know why i just started keeping track of this analog and it works well for me. i write down a masterlist of readings, assignments, etc. for the week and then from that list, write down what i'm going to tackle each day.
my MBTI
as a psychology student, i feel obliged to preface this with a short "your MBTI is not a stable thing because your personality is constantly evolving" speech, so:
your MBTI is not a stable thing because your personality is constantly evolving *end speech*
i'm INFJ (but i've also been ISFJ, INTJ, ENFJ, probably others i don't remember, basically if you're a different personality and we spend some time together, i will use my INFJ empathetic powers to become not-INFJ)
💌 previously answered ask for context in case anyone else is in a similar situation ❤️

I wanna share a really cool productivity app that I found last night! it's called Sectograph and it displays your calendar agenda as a 12-hour clock. It looks like this:
Tumblr media
It has a widget as well:
Tumblr media
It syncs with google calendar and probably other calendars, too.
What I like about it is that it helps me visualise my time better. I sort of see my hours in a similar way in my head so the normal list agenda doesn't really come through to me in terms of how I'm wasting my time. This buddy, however? In case you can't do quick math, it not only shows you the time blocks, it also calculates how long you have until your next appointment. My current next event is my bedtime routine and it so much closer than I thought it was 👀 This made me literally jump out of bed with the desire to be productive because I don't actually have that long. In my head, I had until 21 h, and that sounds like a lot but it's actually only 7 hours away currently 😅

forest and similar focus apps all lack one key component and that is being an absolute mean motherfucker. ‘oh no don’t turn on your phone look at this cute seed’ is not enough i need them to insult my entire existence and scare me shitless into studying THEN we’re getting somewhere

I've recently stumbled upon this delightful new feature in the Books App on my iPad! It's aptly named "classic page turning," and it's simply enchanting. ✨

Does anyone know any organizing or productivity or just helpful apps for someone with Adhd and Autism. Cause most of these apps are for neurotypical people and don't help me at all and just make me feel worse and some of the apps that I have found that are marketed specifically for neurodivergent people just seem to work in theory/ seem to be made by a neurotypical person with minimal research. Pls help!!!

My iPhone is a Tool. Is Your Phone?
I have used a lot of systems over the years. I have tried using planners, but I never seem to be able to use them effectively. Instead, I have learned to use my iPhone as a tool. The reason I can do that is that I always have my phone with me (except for places like the shower). I know a lot of people get trapped into going into rabbit holes. As a writer and author, using my iPhone as a tool…

top 5 productivity apps (2024 edition)
Hi! As a uni student, I've experimented with a lot of different productivity tools, and I wanted to share my current favorites.
Llama Life - I have the premium subscription, and it is very worth it imo. Love the visual timer and helps me easily block out my time. The customizable emojis and color scheme make the app really fun to use!
Obsidian - I use the "Open the daily note" button almost everyday. I like the idea of having my files saved offline, and the appearance is pretty sleek. I use the Minimal theme, which is very customizable.
Notion - It's popular for a reason. My Notion is honestly not that pretty, but I love how you can switch between different views. I switch between the table and calendar views usually and filter out my completed assignments.
TickTick - My favorite to-do list app. I used to use Todoist, but I prefer the interface of TickTick better. Tbh I didn't think I would need an app just for my todo's, but I realized I needed a separate place to store miscellaneous tasks that I can refer to later.
Google Calendar - It's another classic, and my calendar is definitely not as aesthetic as other people's. I love how you can make different calendars and set events as repeatable.
Hope you found these recs helpful! -Lainie

Notion is an incredibly impressive app! Upon trying it out, I discovered its remarkable intuitiveness, especially once you become familiar with its shortcuts. I heavily rely on OneNote for organizing my university tasks and personal writings. I am particularly enamoured by its infinite scrolling capability, which allows me to freely position my writing and search for keywords even within images!
Moving forward, I'm considering utilizing Notion more frequently for my daily activities. It seems perfect for maintaining a digital journal and serving as a comprehensive cookbook to compile all my recipes. Essentially, the "Lists" I previously managed will now find their home in Notion. 🌺

I’m going to try switching from Forest to Flora this week. I mostly want to plant more real trees from studying and I like the tracker feature and cute trees, but I’m going to miss my TinyTAN in Forest. 😭 I might still use Forest for my regular hobbies so I get my TinyTAN fix lol.
Idk if you’ve used both, what do you think of each?
