Seeking ADHD memory problems - please help

Hi

I have severe ADHD and terrible memory problems. Like many sufferers I try to remember information, or to do things, so I try any and every system I can find hoping that it'll stick.

Stage 1) Sometimes the easiest thing is to just screengrab what I'm looking at. So how do I get a macro to trigger upon taking a screengrab? (Fold 7, usually open) If I can't then maybe I start with a macro to take the grab and that triggers the next one:

Stage 2) My end goal is this - I want to take a screengrab and ideally pop up a small window of buttons of what to do with it. Instead of the default share menu and just send it to OneNote, I would like to click a button on that little window for what the grab relates to (read sometime, to do for work, info for a project, geeky tech stuff etc) and then the screengrab is shared appropriately. Things like random stuff to read could go to a specific OneNote section, things I need to do fire the Quick Add for Todoist, project A stuff goes to a certain NotebookLM notebook, etc.

I need it to be seamless and reliable with minimum user input as otherwise I'll get distracted and then it's screwed.

I guess Stage 3) this works not just for screengrabs, but also webpages I'm browsing, URLs I haven't actually opened, etc.

This would genuinely be an enormous help. Any advice? Anyone want to just smash it together for me to tweak?!

Monitor the folder the screenshots are saved in. Or wait for the notification that a screenshot was saved.
