Task breakup

SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml to ADHD@lemmy.world – 20 points –

I've found that breaking a daunting task down into concrete steps and eating away at it in baby steps helps me get it done. When I take Concerta, it helps me focus on the boring nitty-gritty bits, and it enables me to focus on activities like reading where you don't have to do any planning. But the actual process planning/task breakup stays just as cognitively straining as before and becomes the new bottleneck to my productivity. Can this also be fixed with a pill, or does everyone have it this hard and is it a skill that you get better at over time?

You can try the todo from goblin tools, you describe the main task and it tries to split it into sub tasks for you. I've tried it a couple of times and it wasn't bad

Nice one! It can even break down the sub tasks again and again and oh my god, I have watered down „cooking Potatoes“ to 54 sub tasks that take around 8h 😁😁😁
