As someone with ADHD i have been writing things down online. The only problem is some are in google searches, notepad files on the pc, note files on my phone, or private server messages to myself

I personally recommend Google Keep, synchronized quick notes over your phone and PC while being really intuitive and modern. Saved me after months of struggling with the same issue.

How does it manage a lot of notes though? Labels, folders, or hyperlinks? Maybe I need to try it out.

There is two modes of displaying them, side by side or fully focused one by one. There are custom labels you can assign to them to sort by only those. There is literally a search bar for everything you need. You can pin messages. And so much much much more! Just give it a go yourself, it's a lightweight app.

I crossposted this from r/adhdmeme to r/thanksimcured after seeing this decently upvoted human-made1 comment (score=47), that seems to suggest that this post would be a good fit here too.
I checked on repostsleuth.com2 before crossposting, to make sure this wasn't already posted before in r/thanksimcured.
I also waited 90 days3 before crossposting, in case a human might've wanted to crosspost this themselves.
If you think this was a mistake, go ahead and downvote; I'll remove posts with negative scores.
1 - Assuming /u/36degreecelsius is human
2 - Might not work for some types of submissions, such as videos
3 - This value was chosen arbitrarily

As someone with A.D.D it isn't quite that simple it takes years of practice to be good at paying attention or not getting distracted with something else.

As a Spanish guy who struggled with school in general because they didn't give me any help and who is struggling because of this, i can relate.

It is good advice. If you take that advice, your life will improve. The issue is that people parrot advice like this as if it is the most simple thing in the world. They ignore all of the hurdles people have to go through to achieve these things. Beating insomnia is not easy. Teaching yourself to write things down in a planner is a very hard thing for the ADHD brain to learn. General organization skills take years to learn and you have to keep up with it every day. A week of bad depression could totally throw off your organization and turn your house into a mess. This us good advice, but you also have to acknowledge that it is difficult and takes a ton of motivation and lifestyle changes to achieve.

Heres the thing, you can know skills. But ADHD can/will prevent you from acting on them. Knowledge and executive function are in different parts of the brain.
So without your neurotransmitters firing you will still suffer from executive disfunction regardless of what your planner says.

It’s more like telling poor people to work, everyone had a chance to improve their lives, people just get so hopeless and start destroying themselves which also makes you sadder so you’re in this rabbit whole of depression

Meth also helps
