Task & Calendar Update for ADHD 05/25/2023 A GTD-inspired Weekly Review Work with Me (Commentary)
Channel: Devise & Conquer: Productivity, Technology, ADHD
Date: 2023-05-26

If you have task lists or calendars that you need to look over, but never get around to it, join us! Let us be your accountability (and company) to get your tasks and projects up to date!

**Sorry, we'll be dark 6/1/23! Everyone has had family and/or health emergencies come up! We'll see you next time!!***

A weekly review is protected and sacred time to look at (but not work on) the commitments we have made to ourselves or others. This is often in the form of looking over the system (tools, such as calendar, task management app, planner) that house the reminders for those commitments. It can also be a time to plan projects or tasks. This ideally allows us to feel we know what is going on in our lives and be ready to be proactive instead of reactive about actions we take day to day.

Brittany Smith, Colleen Rutledge, and Stephanie Antoine, 3 ADHD Coaches, work through their respective Weekly Reviews (complete with commentary and mutterings!) Along the way, the coaches will drop some related nuggets of productivity wisdom, or things that have worked for them and their own neurodiversity. Join the fun, ask some questions, and get some support going over your commitments and system!

If you'd like to walk through a real-time, neurodiverse Weekly Review, here's a prime example! We'll talk about how ADHD interacts with our productivity goals (and occasionally ASD, as it comes up).

We use a modified Pomodoro technique. 
Timer color code: 
Pink = Break
Green = Work
Blue = Wrap it up, mark what you'll do when you come back from break

We strive to be completely authentic-- sharing our struggles and our lessons learned as we go through. 

This week: 
Brittany did a pretty standard review-- checked some inboxes, updated some calendar, and reviewed a little project. Not as much as she needed to do, but as much as was possible to do with the time constraints

First half of Colleen’s review was processing inbox and it got to inbox zero! Hooray! Second half was project and project pipeline review, which was very, very nice. Best review Colleen has had in a few months.💪
