I looked it up just now and it looks very cool. Do you know of any free alternatives similar to it?

I try and remove distractions and start getting ready with plenty of time remaining! But my head usually finds other things to Micro manage and potter about doing unnecessary stuff so late anyway lol, the time we waste is unbelievable 😩

A visual timer helps to set a specific time for the task. It also helps starting a task. Otherwise I have a todo list with just everything. Eating meals, taking meds and other tasks

All of them help me, except for planning buffer time - I always underestimate.

I heard somewhere that people with ADHD should double or even triple their time estimates and then record how long it actually takes.

The Method called „Eisenhauer-Matrix“ helped me to see which ToDo’s had more Priority.. then starting the Pomodoro Timer after matching task to my energy

Timers ⏲️ are a must for me to stay on track.

I have a cheap Smartwatch and use the timer on it all the time for even small routine tasks. Not only is it a reminder for some task, but I think it also helps me appreciate the passage of time…..mostly when I’m wasting it.

Someone once asked me why I had three timers on my desk at work 😂. I was a loss for words 😅. Timers really help me so that I don’t miss important events because of hyperfocus. So if I know I have a meeting in 30 minutes, I set a timer for 25 minutes so that I don’t have to worry about forgetting.

Right now I’m working on a lot of home repairs and things keep going wrong. 😑 So it feels like it eats into my routines. 😥

I use an analog calendar to note appointments over months and weeks, Numo as my „note everything“ tool and Llama life for timeboxing my business tasks. That seems to work for me.

I choose my strategy based on my level of focus. If I really don't want to get things done but really need to, I set timers and limit distractions. But usually I just take advantage of productive energy days.
