I joined this adhd group and they said that if you set up the environment to get stuff done properly, you’re more likely to get stuff done. I can’t afford the paying programme so I’m going to try and replicate it.
Maybe someone else will find this helpful. The group definitely helped me!

The environment is the 3 “Ss” -soon, someone checking and stakes.

Soon, well I will make this a daily thread.

Someone checking, will be anyone who joins and who reads this. We can post screenshots of what we’ve done (I don’t know how easy that is).

Stakes, this thread provides me with accountability, if I don’t achieve something I will have to admit it.

Feel free to provide encouragement to each other

My goals for today are to make 2 more slides for my presentation and attend my conference.

The conference is all afternoon and evening, hence why I’m not going to manage more than 2 slides for my presentation.

[Pinny]

I have actually managed to do another two slides already. But I need to make notes on them too.
I’m up to 15ish slides. They’re mostly done but some I will still need to do some work on some.

I don’t know how to post a screenshot just now, but I will check and manage that another day

[Pinny]

My goal for today is to read another article and make 2 more slides for my presentation.

Hopefully I will manage to do this this evening as I going to another city to meet some friends for lunch.
It’s an hour and a half drive so I’ll be back later in the afternoon/early evening. So I plan on doing my presentation work then.

I hope you’re all having a good day so far!

[Pinny]

So I never made another two slides, instead I spent the day with friends, then visited my granny, then I drove home and spent quality time with my husband.
I’m ok with that. But it feels like it’s hanging over me, so I will endeavour to work on it in the morning!
My plan is to try and finish my presentation by the end of tomorrow.

[Pinny]

I’m going to break things down into sections today.

Before lunch I would like to have read a paper and made another slide or two.

Then I’ll see!

If I don’t break things down I get easily overwhelmed and I don’t do things.

Here’s hoping I get this done this morning. I’m going to set aside 10- 10:45 to do this.

Then I have a shopping delivery coming!

[Pinny]

It’s 10:35 and I have completed my goal!

Next goal will be from 12-13:00 and that will be to read another article and make another 2 slides.

In the meantime, I’m going to tidy to tidy some things and get some coffee before my delivery comes!

[Pinny]

So it’s 4pm and I have 26 slides.
I’ve got two more articles to read and another 4 slides to finish. But I think that’s me mostly done!

I just need to organise my notes for the presentation too.

Yay! Hopefully I’ll get some of this done tonight!

Excellent!!! Yes, please give it a go @Brentus !! The group really helped me start projects I would leave to the last minute! Or start ones that I just keep putting off. It just helps provide that environment for change I guess!

And thank you

[Pinny]

So I’m finished my slides, and I’m almost finished my notes on each slide- just have to do the last 3!

I’m so pleased I haven’t had to stay up all night tonight doing it and I can get a good nights sleep tonight before presenting.

I’m not too nervous about it but I think I will be tomorrow.

My goal for today is just to finish my notes and do a run through a couple of times!

[Pinny]

I’ve completed my goal!

All finished, ready to present tomorrow!

[Brentus]

Here is an article on some tips and tricks to get things done from ADDititude Magazine. Thought it would be a good place to start for me to get prepared.


How to Get Things Done When You Feel Overwhelmed

[Pinny]

Thanks so much @Brentus

I’ll have a read through too!

[Pinny]

So I had my presentation today, hence not setting any goals this morning.
I had some technical issues with my permissions and screen sharing which was a bit of a fluster!
But I managed it and I got good feedback.
I’m so pleased it’s over, I just wish I wasn’t so technically unsavvy!

[Pinny]

I’m going to start on my to do list tomorrow. It’s grown so big this week but I had to prioritise my presentation.
Hopefully I’ll get on top of a few things! Some things are work related, other things are life related.

[Pinny]

My break the seal goal for today (besides sleeping before my nightshift) is to do a work task I never had time to complete this week.

Just one.

[Pinny]

So I’ve managed to have a sleep, hopefully I will be able to complete a work related task that I didn’t complete this week when I’m back at work tonight!



I’m a bit stressed about work, but it’s just two nights I’m doing!
It’s just a shame because I haven’t managed to spend quality time with my husband much because he was working this week (so was I) then I was off Friday but he was working now I’m trying to sleep and he’s off. And then I won’t see him for the rest of the weekend. I finish Monday morning but he’s back working then!
I’m going to see if I can spend a couple of hours with him this afternoon. Hopefully we will be able to!
That can be another goal for the day!

[Pinny]

I managed to complete 3 tasks that were on my extra to do list!
It was quite a busy night though. I have a bunch more stuff to try and do tonight. But my plan is to do one extra task from my to do list on top of my work.

[Pinny]

I managed to do this task! Yay!!!

I still have a lot to do, but I will manage next week.

I’m on a rest day today after being on nightshift then I’m away tomorrow! I’m so excited for my trip!

I’m going to take a book with me and try to read at least a chapter per 2 nights (they’re big chapters and I don’t really have the concentration to do more)

I’ve got a training course this afternoon which I can’t really be bothered with.
But I’ll attend and do it!

[Brentus]

You're such an inspiration Pinny! I am taking inspiration from you and gonna work to get my goals done today-- I'll write more later!
