Comment on Ask HN: Devs with ADHD do you use specialized tooling?

Comments

Not ADHD but ASD with pretty poor executive function.

The only thing I've found that helps is having a list of things somewhere I can see it. We have a list of tasks next to the fridge on a whiteboard, and it's the only way things get done.

As a side note, I'd suggest looking up ways to improve executive function, as this tends to be the area where this sort of problem falls into. There are tonnes of books out there, as well as ADHD coaches now, which can be pretty helpful.
