As a college student, having a visible reminder of the assignments I have and when they are due is super helpful for me. It also just feels good to erase them from the board once they are completed.

Just don’t forget to submit assignments like my dumb ass. Got work done early so I was like “I’ll go do something else now”. Almost missed the deadline until I had a panicked moment while laying in bed and the thought of submitting work randomly popped into my head.

Microsoft To Do might be something for you.

I like using the sticky note app on my laptop for assignments, it’s nice deleting a whole note for the assignment lol

With MS toDo you get to cross it off and hear a nice sound. Additionally, you can see all your done tasks. 695 in my case.

As a fellow Microsoft to-do lover ...I got chills reading this. Haha!

Does it have nesting subtasks? Been looking to replace google's todo

You can create multiple subtasks within a task but its not a project management tool. I use it to track simple tasks but also to gather ideas or information as a reminder. There is also MS planner which can be used to deal with more complex tasks while being very intuitive.

The only time it doesn't work is when you're so depressed that you don't even want to eat, shower, or leave the house. Can confirm, since that's exactly how my last semester went. Doing a bit better now, but that's because of ADHD meds.

Don't underestimate the power of taking them regularly! When I'm not working I sometimes think, "meh, I don't need to focus today", but for brains like ours, they affect much more than that - they help with the whole range of executive function. 💛

That may explain some things about why I needed a while to get back in my groove after a vacation

I know that neuroscience agrees with you. Individuals with ADHD often have worse depression/higher chances to get it.

I like having a visible reminder (on my phone screen), which sticks around until task is done - not just notification. And I don't want it to appear too soon, for I start ignoring it. So calendar and most to-do apps are not an option. So far have found a widget called Doer Notes which works for me.

I use TickTick. Both for tasks and for calendar blocking. I got my BF with ADHD to use it too and it helps him tremendously.
