Like the rest of you in this forum, I have recently found out I am in the top 5% of the population by being diagnosed with ADHD. Unfortunately I have been trying to get through life using the techniques of the other 95% of the people and it hasn’t worked.

The good news is I have made adjustments to become more effective.

I found a wonderful countdown timer from technika.com model 810005.

I like it because it has:
1. A 12/24 hour clock
2. Two separate countdown timers
3. A count up timer
4. Large readable numbers.

I use the count-up timer to track hours. If I am interrupted or want to take a break, I stop the count-up timer and start the countdown timers which run in the background. When the time expires, I start the count-up timer and get back to work.

I have made a game at trying to get things done before the time expires - Helps ward off boredom and gives me something to fiddle with.


Try it, Technika has many inexpensive timers.

Use your bounding creativity to see how many different ways you can make these work for you.
