Hi all.
I’ve been having trouble remembering events and tasks because I often don’t notice the notifications of my smartphone or computer when focused on something.
How do you all deal with this without continuously checking your phone and laptop?
And when I check my laptop or phone, I often stop doing anything else because I know something is coming up. And I often also start browsing or doing other things which was not my intention.
Try alarm calendar plus in the play store (android). I’ve used it for years. The developer is called ‘Moyou’.
I have it go off x minutes before the work shifts that I enter into my Google calendar, and I also use it for “time signals” - little beeps throughout the day to remind me ‘hey, it’s 12 o’clock now, better get some lunch’, or more typically - time to get up and take a 5 minute break.
Of course I have to have th corresponding time signal to go back to work or my ADHD brain would get distracted and forget 😁
Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it out. Too bad I use an iPhone as my daily phone at the moment, I don’t think there is something equivalent to this for iOS
I found this on a reddit post via Google. I don’t want to send anyone to that site so to save time here’s the post. Hopefully this can work for you. The post is 1 year old, and I haven’t checked these links still work. Good luck!
Thanks, that’s a good option! I didn’t know you could run it automatically in the morning.
And by filtering it for a specific calendar that I use for important events, it can be for just those events I need it for. Thanks!
