ADHD Buddy-ADHD Support Tool

Example

Breaking down a semester-long project into weekly tasks with specific, achievable goals.

Scenario

A college student struggles to start on a project due to feeling overwhelmed by its scope. ADHD Buddy helps by suggesting a breakdown of the project into smaller, more manageable tasks, each with a clear deadline, thereby making the project feel more approachable and less daunting.

Example

Using time-blocking techniques to dedicate specific hours to tasks and incorporating regular short breaks.

Scenario

An individual with ADHD finds it hard to maintain focus over long periods. ADHD Buddy suggests implementing a time-blocking method, allocating specific hours of the day to different tasks, and incorporating 5-minute breaks every 25 minutes to improve focus and productivity.

Example

Creating a distraction-free workspace and using apps that limit smartphone use.

A remote worker with ADHD is easily distracted by their phone and the environment. ADHD Buddy recommends creating a clutter-free workspace and using apps that restrict access to distracting websites or apps during work hours.

Example

Practicing mindfulness exercises and setting up a daily routine.
