Externalise Your Working Memory
You forget tasks, appointments, and important details constantly
Steps
- Choose ONE capture system (phone notes, a physical notebook, or a whiteboard)
- Write down EVERYTHING the moment it enters your head. Don't trust your memory
- Use a daily to-do list with no more than 3 priority items
- Set phone reminders for anything time-sensitive
- Do a brief evening review: what got done, what moves to tomorrow
What you need
A notebook or notes app, phone reminders, a whiteboard (optional)
Why it works
ADHD working memory is like a whiteboard that gets wiped every few minutes. Externalising everything to a reliable system means you stop losing important information. The brain is freed from trying to hold onto things and can focus on actually doing them instead.
Age guidance
Designed for adults. The simpler the system, the more likely you are to use it consistently.
Real-world example
A parent who'd been forgetting school forms, appointments, and bills bought a £3 notebook and wrote down everything the moment it entered their head. Within two weeks, the forgotten-task anxiety that had been constant for years started to lift.
Troubleshooting
- The best system is the one you'll actually use. Don't overcomplicate it
- Put your notebook/phone where you can ALWAYS reach it
- If lists feel overwhelming, try just writing your top 1 task for the day
