Here's how I plan out my day: have a to do list I rarely stick to, procrastinate something super important, have a mental breakdown over not having completed that super important thing weeks ago, begin that super important thing through tears of stress, realise its easy to continue once ive begun and finish it.

I try to have three priorities in a day. First priority is something urgent, unpleasant or mentally exhausting (say bills, taxes, that one phone call or email I've put off forever). I'm allowed to spend 15 minutes with it, no more. If I've not finished by the time the timer goes off, no problem, I'll continue the next day. If I spend that 15 minutes crying and shaking in a corner because I just CANNOT do it that day, that's fine too. When the time's up I don't have to worry about it for the next 24 hours. The next two priorities have to do with study/work and pets/home. These I do after the urgent one. Not everything gets done everyday. But I've not ran out of socks yet.

This actually seems like something I might try. The concept is something I've played with a little recently (got some seriously stressful DPS business taken care of, only took a couple of meltdowns, lol.) but 15 minutes is actually a more accurate timeframe than the hour I was stressing myself out with. I'll try it your way.

@@noh-1386 My reasoning was that it's much easier to commit 15 minutes than say, an hour. Plus if the task is gonna take me an hour total, I'll be done in four days instead of procrastinating with it for weeks and months because I don't know where or when to start. I actually tried with an hour first and yeeeah, this is definitely more doable. :D Also, if I don't know the steps involved in doing the thing, the first 15 can be spent trying to figure those out or doing some research. Do let me know if you deside to try it out and how it goes.

One think I've found helpful when scheduling is to always give myself more than one option for each block of time. 10-11 am can be Coding / Reading Essay / Exercising, and then 11-12 can be Gaming / Napping / Reading fiction. This makes it so I don't think about a schedule as a shackle but instead just a selection of important things that I can choose from ad-hoc instead of wasting time on things that are not important (social media)

@@natashatuskovichcoworking This is something that it's pretty standard to write into a behaviour management plan for people with autism spectrum disorders or other disabilities that have neurological impacts. Routines are the absolute key, but we always offer choices whenever we can, because it turns the task into a positive experience that the client chose for themselves, rather than a negative experience that was forced upon them. Even with tasks you think are non-negotiable like brushing teeth, the teeth brushing part is non-negotiable but we can offer the choice of now or later, choice of toothbrush, choice of toothpaste, whatever works. "Hey, would you like to brush your teeth with the mint or the bubblegum toothpaste this morning?". If you can include lots of little choices throughout the day, it helps to feel like your day has structure, without feeling overly controlled.

Gracious I feel like you just told my life story....

"Or our brains just straight up rebel and are like, 'I'm not doing this right now.' " OMG It ME! I can't tell you how much it means to me to know that this happens to other people, that it's a pattern for ADHD brains and not just a personal failing of mine. Thank you so much for this channel.

As a law student with ADHD, my biggest strategy has been keeping a future calendar - for example, as soon as I get an email that has to do with a future time commitment, I throw that in my calendar. Then, I keep lists of tasks that don't have specific times but I need to do. Mid week, I'll see all the tasks I need to do and check off what I've already done. I can also block out time in the future to finish a task. For example, I had a problem with my electricity bill this month. I picked a day 3-4 days ahead to call the company when I knew I'd have enough time, and I remembered to do it because I had a calendar notification. Also, I was more mentally prepared to tackle this task since I had planned to do it. This helps me break down an overwhelming day/week into manageable bits.

I do this too and it has worked long term! I use todoist to keep track of tasks. The key for me is to not make due dates unless it really needs to be done by that day. I have to use calendar appointments for real appointments and rare scheduled tasks so it’s always good information. Too much or wishful thinking planning and I’ll just ignore the whole thing.

“Apple Watch was an impulse buy and it integrates very well”. The watch was the same for me prior to this and it is life changing and so helpful! I’m excited to try the app.

I'm super new to the channel but I've noticed that she keeps her videos short and it gives me huge relief cause I avoid watching long videos even though I wanna watch them so badly.

The circular map readout looks so helpful for my ADHD brain. It's probably the same reason why I so strongly prefer analog clocks. Showing the current time in relation to a complete map is so much more useful in helping me understand just how close or far away "not now" is. I do hope they release the Android version soon for those of us that aren't made of money.

Jessica, your channel is AMAZING! I have struggled so hard with so many aspects of my ADHD, and your channel has almost magically been able to address and help me feel normal about so many of them! Thanks so much!!!

This was a great timing my schedule has been something so overwhelming lately and I think this will really help. I like the rock analogy and the reassurance of not having to get everything done but just the 3 main things. I appreciate you :)

I've been using an Apple watch too! I use an Outlook calendar because it's color-coded, adjustable, sends alerts, and shows me visual time blocks rather than just the numbers and both have been great, especially when they're paired. It's exactly what you said: rather than looking at my phone and getting distracted by a Twitter notification, I just get a buzz on my wrist! I'm glad it's working for other ADHD brains too :)

Definitely going to download this and try it. Also love the blooper section.

One thing I love about your videos is how I can see in your eyes when you're reflecting on yourself. I can see when you're thinking about how things affected you. It's really obvious you personally reflect a lot and are speaking from a genuine place.

Jessica, You have been such an inspiration and drive for me to better myself as someone who struggles with ADHD. For years growing up I never felt like I "clicked" with anyone. I was too loud, too energetic, too "random". But watching your videos not only teaches me how to deal with my ADHD, but also teaches me things I didn't realize about myself. More so than that, showing anyone can have bad days makes me feel better about my bad days. I struggled a lot in my early adult life with negative thoughts and emotions. I would lash out at people, and to be honest, it's a work in progress. I know I still have much to do to be the best version of myself, and I know that somehow I will get there, because I have you and your videos. So thank you for making this channel, and thank you for embracing your ADHD to show the world that ADHD isn't a curse, it's a superpower! Sincerely, A very appreciative viewer

I've been researching ADHD a lot because my friend was just diagnosed, and when I found this channel, I was so impressed by how perfect everything was. It was so professional! Then, I saw this video, and it makes me feel so validated. I'm not even sure how to explain. Everything is still amazingly professional and I'm so impressed by the quality still. But I have a lot of perfectionistic behaviors and habits, and this helps me realize and see that I don't have to have perfect eye contact to make an incredible video. Now, me making an incredible video is still likely not going to happen because of other beliefs and limitations but at least now I know that eye contact isn't necessarily something I need to do 24/7 lol. So, thank you. Thank you for making so many high quality videos, especially this one. I feel like I understand ADHD a lot better, and that as an educator, I can support students with ADHD in a more effective and informed way. Thank you for not making eye contact. Thank you for being here even when so much has been happening in the world. Thank you for all you've helped me understand.

The therapy and medication help the most, but my Apple Watch fills in so many of the gaps that I've struggled with even after diagnosis and ongoing treatment. This tool looks like a really helpful option!

But that's really not much to do with the job you are doing, so why do so many places micromanage it as long as there's not a safety issue or what have you? It's like places don't expect employees to be humans sometimes. I'm glad your job is cool but it reminds me of places that are way too rigid. I worked for someone once who told me not to write down instructions. And for someone who said I had to be at my station by 8 a.m. (reasonable) but I couldn't get there five minutes early to make my tea and have the buffer of time that I need to make 8 a.m. consistently. (Not ADHD but definitely a space cadet with terrible organization and sense of time.)

I Saw your Ted Talk it uninspired me a lot I really needed that motivation you made me think a whole different way about my ADHD thank you so much ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE your analogies. Please do more of them :)

Thanks, I hope this is the one. I’ve tried so many scheduling apps. Now I have an excuse to get an Apple watch too.

Heya, I'm really struggling with my routine at the moment and an app would be super helpful however, I only have Android. Is there anything similar on Android or the web that I can use. Extremely appreciated if you answer :)

Ditto that.

Finding your channel has changed my life 🥲💕 I was recently diagnosed

I put off watching this video for a while and I wish I had seen it sooner. I love this channel. It helps me remember that my brain manageable and I'm not alone ;v; ❤

This app looks like a godsend. Definitely trying it now. Also hey, I am fairly certain I have undiagnosed ADHD and live in Seattle. Is there a psychiatrist you recommend?

early! i'm so excited and i think this will be helpful since i just started highschool :)

Hi Abby! Lauren from Owaves here. We hope you find our app to be helpful to you as you start your high school journey!

Your channel has helped me so much recently. So glad I found it. You make great content!!

Thanks for letting us know about this. Love the 3 things idea. A friend who gets things done told me about that. I have about 21 things on list but get 3 done. Will try putting the 3 rocks on top of list!

Sounds like a great app! I think I’m going to stick with using my Microsoft calendar, because I really like how it works with my laptop and school account. However, this app looks awesome and if I ever decide to switch, I’ll definitely give it a try!

Just downloaded the beta and I'm already having fun with the colors and icons for planning. Now to pry myself away from planning the day and actually starting the day!

Currently visiting Seattle. Love what y'all did with the place. It's got that smoldering look going on.

I loved the chill energy of this video. Downloaded the app. Hopefully this won’t be another system I ignore. 🤞 x

I found Owaves before this video and it’s actually amazing. It’s really helpful and not too rigid or naggy!

Serene from the Owaves team here! That's AWESOME to hear! We are so glad that you are enjoying your experience with Owaves.

I can't believe this is the only hiw to sdo everyday things with ADHD channel on KZread.

Really needed this, been currently going through this. Thank you so much 🥰🤗

I'd like to thank you for using words like " encourage" & explaining this is what works for me. I (personally) can't do things that I'm TOLD to do I used to think I was just born bad or extremely rebellious , but I know if someone asks (especially if they ask nice "please") I'm right there it's sooo much easier!! 😁💪👍

This looks great. I am trying to help my 14 year old son, who has ADHD, to organise himself and I think this could be helpful.

I don’t have ADHD, but I do have difficulty focusing and occasional stress if my day is unclear, so I’m going to try this out! I’m glad this video decided to pop up in my recommended!

Looks for *stay in bed* option 😎😉😉😉😋 You're awesome Jess

haha they actually do have a "flow" option which is what I call "wandering time." Where we don't have anything specific planned, it's just down time

Hi Kathryne! This is Elaine from the Owaves team. We also look forward to making the android version! You can join the Android waiting list here: owaves.com/android. Wish you the best!

oh wow this is exactly the tool i've been needing in my life, paper timelines restrict me with their lack of flexibility and having to write out time every time but calendar just isnt the right shape. this looks so nice and sleek cant wait until it's on android!

I LOVE THIS. The big rock analogy helped me structure my day! I love it.

Did you just read my mind. I was just thinking about how I could do this.
