Task & Calendar Update for ADHD 01-05-2023: A GTD-inspired Weekly Review Work with Me (Commentary)
Channel: Devise & Conquer: Productivity, Technology, ADHD
Date: 2023-01-05

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!

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). 

If this is your first time, check out our first video, chatting about using a GTD-style Weekly Review for folks with ADHD: https://youtu.be/47vSTZtfzt0 

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 was stoked to be back to reviewing after feeling out of it for so long! She took a step back to do a fresh capture of all her projects in a mind map, so that the ideas coming at her a mile a minute would have somewhere to go! Then a calendar overview and scheduling the next batch of videos. Of course, more would be great, but fatigue comes for us all!

Today at the Weekly Review Stephanie toggled between Google Keep and ToDoist to begin clearing  the extra items in Google Keep. She enjoyed deleting completed projects from 2022 as they reminded her of successes  and growth. Until next time😊

Today Colleen cleaned some serious dust out of the corners of her system in terms of the tasks that could be done on her phone, which is a considerable number! She also reviewed her projects quickly. It was all very useful.
