Today we're talking about my favorite time management tools and how they can help you organize work, life, and All The Things! The tools, strategies, and resources shared here have been a game-changer for me when it comes to overcoming overwhelm and getting things done.
I somehow made it all the way to the age of 39 before receiving my diagnosis of ADHD. And when I did finally go through the evaluation, the doctor wasn’t like, “Oh, ok. Yeah, that fits.” It was, “Oh, sis. You don’t just kinda have ADHD. You have raging ADHD. Like, 98th percentile ADHD.” Cool, cool, cool.
While this episode is not specifically about ADHD, I want to preface with this to let you know that I have been on a constant search for tools, resources, and strategies to help with time management my entire life without realizing why it was so difficult for me. I’ve tried so many different planners, organizers, and methods over the years - so now you get to learn from my experience! There is no one-size-fits-all fix here, but I’m going to share a variety of tools and why I love them with the hope that maybe at least one will be a game-changer for you, too!
