@schratze wait they do? I thought there was something wrong with me cause everyone keeps telling me to make lists specifically as a way to deal with my ADHD 💀
@hazelnot @schratze In the neurotypical way, yes, they absolutely do, they (among other things) create a loop of self-punishment for "not having done enough" which negatively affects executive function further, and can create an overwhelming sense of a never-ending list of stuff to do such that you can't even start on a single thing, to just name a couple of the ways in which (monolithic) todo lists (as often suggested) can make things worse for ADHD
@hazelnot @schratze I mentioned this in more detail in social.pixie.town/@joepie91/11… but the way I can make todo lists work for me is to reframe their purpose as one of "relieving me from chores" rather than "assigning me chores"

It's like they don't know that writing a to do list exponentially increases mental load for someone with ADHD

Even other people with ADHD have told me this
