It’s so hard to focus during work with ADHD

Hacker News

Hi all, Sooo ive spent years and years battling ADHD behind a desk, and still, I haven't found that 'one' tool to keep me focused. I'm pretty sure I've sampled a galaxy of productivity tools, and yet, not a single one seems to be designed for an ADHD brain like mine. Here's the loop I find myself in: 1. Realize I've done nothing at work and feel overwhelmed and stressed. 2. Hit Google: "Top ADHD productivity tools," "Best ADHD time-management…." you name it. 3. Sign up for EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. 4. Feel like I'm drowning in a sea of features, but still used it. 5. Few days later, forget the tool even existed. 6. When I do remember, oops, too late, I’ve lost interest. 7. Realize I've done nothing at work and feel overwhelmed and stressed. It's a never-ending cycle, and I've had enough. Since I’m a software engineer, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I've just launched a to-do list designed for ADHD minds. It’s been helping me and my colleagues stay focused at work. Watch a quick demo: https://www.loom.com/share/ddff6d72b73446f792b45cc284e045d0 You can give it a go here: https://complish.ai I’d love any feedback on the app. You can also join our small discord server to give us feedback https://discord.gg/jSwQhAccCc
