(6:14) The best way to create ADHD-friendly lists

Kate shares with us the best online tool that’s become her tried-and-true to help create adaptable lists for planning content, tasks, or otherwise!

(7:29) Write first. Re-arrange second.

Kate walks you through her process for list-making, starting with making your list with the quickest and fastest thing. Then, break down the big pieces into smaller parts underneath them and rearrange them as needed.

(8:28) Kate’s scheduling game-changer: People days!

Kate emphasizes the importance of “people days”: what they are, how they’re helpful, and why they’re so effective in keeping your focus in check.

(11:25) How “Mini-Batching” saves your productivity…

If you are struggling with a plan for getting a lot done, Kate dives into how you can use “mini-batching” to tackle your bigger plans.

(12:40) Need accountability? Try co-working sessions!

If you do your best work when you’re with someone else, gather at a shared office space or hop on a zoom call with some of your work besties. Sometimes having the presence of others can keep you motivated to get it done!

(16:00) Set a timer for your focus sesh

Kate likes to stay on track by setting a timer that only counts down the minutes (seconds can be distracting!). Try this Google Chrome extension!

(16:49) Hire a “finisher“ & free up your time

Not a fan of finishing big projects or people management? Hire someone who specializes in tasks you never want to finish, whether they be a full-time employee or a freelancer!
