scheduling

How do u put a schedule for the day together? I can make a do list ten mile long, but never accomplish one thing. What on a schedule? Eat, get up, watch tv???

Long lists are kind of overwhelming. Maybe picking no more than 3 things you want to accomplish that day.

Don't feel alone. I set an alarm to work on one task for 10 minutes and then move to another. I have ADHD and it works for me.

I keep a long running to do list, so I don't forget anything, eventually. Each day, I pick something off of it (or even a few thing off of it) to fit in between listing first the stuff I have to do do such as marking down things like appointments, obligations, and now work, first, then filling in what I just what feel like doing, can get done, and fit the rest in as I can. Or then there the days that feel like doing absolutely nothing but loafing when I wake up, sometimes I "schedule" that too for that day if don't have to be anywhere else.

I also have ADHD and using a timer does not work for me. Within about 2 minutes I am distracted and just do not hear the timer.

I just use my iphone calender, and list of things to do...good luck!

Hmm. I wish I had a good answer for your question. I either keep in mind what I need to do, or I make a list. Then I just do it. Just as I would be on time for work and do my job...I do the same thing at home.

The schedule is not the problem.

For me it's not so much about making the list, as it is about following it. I literally have to follow it in order, or I'll forget something(s) or do them poorly because of distraction. I too, have ADD.
