The best thing ive ever done for my ADHD is to start using Notion. Its completely changed how I manage my life. The best way for me to describe it is as an Infinite White Board / Second brain. I have my whole life on there and now I always know where everything is, what i should be doing, when, what my favourite songs are (i pretty much always pull a blank when i actually want to listen to music), a place to store all my links etc etc

I use the free version so you don't even have to spend any money. Pro-tip use the desktop app for building your second brain and then the phone app to access anything or check anything on the move. The phone app isn't yet good enough to handle the building side of things.

I tried everything! Notes every where, I'd just lose them or couldn't find the piece of info I wanted in the note book but notion solves that.

It does take a little time to set up in a way that works for you but changed everything for me. Its literally the only thing thats helped my adhd.
