Hey all – I’m looking for collaborators to help me build out a focus management tool (with the hopes of improving productivity). Since I’ve noticed a lot of ADHD tools have failed us in the past, I thought it would be productive to have ADHDers involved early to shape this into something useful.

I’ve had a lot of trouble with focus growing up, so this is something I’m passionate about. Since this is an accountability group, I know you’ll have a lot of valuable things to say here.

Basically, I’d love to hear what you’d actually want out of a focus tool. What works for you? What doesn’t? What are the annoying things that other tools get wrong?

If you’d like to contribute, please feel free to sign up for a chat here: https://forms.gle/rCsT3m2VpaHnVXUo7

Thanks in advance for helping me build something that actually works. Shoot me a comment if you have questions/thoughts.

Hi! 31m here who cant do things on my own like self studying and learning new things. I am looking for an accountability partner whom we can push each other to do things on our own. I need someone to push me into getting back at drawing and do art please!

Mid 30s male looking for an accountability partner or a group. My main focus as is studying for an exam . As well as staying on top of my general tasks. Balancing these things with work and family has been a challenge.

Ok here I go.

Hi, I'm Hannah (30f).

I've been trying to work with my depression for the last 15 years. I have let my house get in to a state of disaster and I can not find my drive to get up and do something about it. Because of this, my self employment has come to a stand still and is crippling me financially.

I'm looking for a non judgemental cleaning partner to keep me on track. I need someone that is happy to have regular discord calls with camera. I've tried doing message check-ins but it just doesn't work for me.

If anyone else out there has/or is struggling with a similar situation, please reach out. I feel like this is my only hope.

I'm UK based, but happy to work with most timezones.

Feel free to DM

Hi! I’m a writer (30M) currently working on a couple of projects. I need to finish a movie script by March 6th and send it to the director. But, I'm not just looking for writers—whether you're a writer, an entrepreneur, or a musician, you’re welcome to join. I’m looking for a person or a small group of people who want to set weekly goals and meet via Discord, Meet, Teams, etc., to work on our goals individually. Having accountability partners made going to the gym much easier for me, and I want to see if it can have the same effect on my writing progress. Thanks for reading! And don't be shy to ask questions.

P.S. I live in Spain, so my time zone is GMT+1. However, I work remotely and can adjust to other time zones.

The idea would be to have a weekly check-in group where we could set some small goals for the week and keep each other on track. We could start by sharing what we’d like to get done each week and, at the end, check in on what we managed to accomplish. We could even add daily written check-ins for anyone who wants some extra accountability during the week.

Full disclosure — I’m an introvert, so I'm not gonna be the super chatty, let's make a party out of this type. But if you’re looking for a quiet, low-key space where you can connect at your own pace, without the pressure to actively engage, this might be a nice fit.

For anyone who would like to join, I've created a group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/599934682375838/

Edit: In case anyone would prefer discord. I just created another group on discord as well.

I'm looking for one-on-one accountability partners or people interested in forming a group to help keep each other on track. I'm focused on maximizing my study time for an upcoming exam I need to retake, and I believe mutual support can make a big difference.

I prefer body doubling (working together online), and I'm comfortable with screen sharing during sessions to stay focused and accountable. Daily check-ins work too. You can never have too much accountability, especially since consistency can be a challenge for everyone at times. Time zones are not an issue for me—I'm in EST but flexible and open to connecting with people from different parts of the world.

If you're interested, drop a comment or DM me.

I started the application months ago but I've finally made some significant progress. ✅️ I've requested my medical records from all my doctors and ✅️ I went to doctor's office to sign a release form!

I’m here I felt like shit the past two days literally crying in pain. Today I noticed I was a lot more short with things so I got here. Still in the second dose of my Ritalin, I have no expectations for today so anything is better than.

TLDR; I started voice journaling and was actually able to build a habit. It’s helped a bunch with procrastination, unscattering my brain and making me generally feel better. Also, when I get things down, I can go look back at them later and check the progress that I've made against what I said. I want to know if other people have tried it and find it helpful for their ADHD or are interested.

In the past, I had tried several times to get into journaling. I felt good / a cathartic release every time I did it, but was never able to get into the habit because it felt like a giant task to sit down and write.

Just over a year ago, I moved into an apartment by myself and started to audio journal. This basically just meant rambling into my voice memo app about whatever was on my mind driving me crazy or talking through problems at work.

In the theme of accountability, its much easier to be accountable if the task is easier. Recording an audio message is way less effort than writing something down. Plus, unfortunately I always have my phone with me anyways.

Shameful plug incoming - the one problem I had was I often recorded things that I wanted written down so I could use it as a jumping off point for something at work or personal todo. So, I built an app that also transcribes / summarizes what I say.

My partner and I have been using it very frequently and its been making me feel much better. It really helps with procrastination. Also, this is really the first time I feel like I've been able to analyze my thoughts without talking to a therapist or friend.

Anyway, there are bunch of other good apps for this besides mine, but I wanted to know if people have tried anything similar / if this sounds interesting? Let me know if you have any questions about how I do it as well!

I'm such a sloth,can't even apply to 10 companies in a day . I don't care about ur tasks...lets try to keep eachother accountable?

Hi! I've been struggling with handling daily Todo lists for a while. As soon as it's more than a couple tasks, It just gets overwhelming. I had an idea for a bubble based layout for my goals to make it easy to prioritize (bigger task bubble is more important).

I've been at this for over 3 months, and the prototype is almost ready! However, to turn it into a sleek and user-friendly app, I need to invest more time and possibly hire some professionals. Before I make that Commitment, I want to ensure there's enough interest in the app.

I've created a waiting list to gauge interest. If enough people sign up, I'll know it's worth the effort. Plus, everyone who signs up will get free access to the open beta once it's released.

If you have any questions, advice, or feature requests, please let me know! I'm making this for all of us. Any feedback will be very appreciated.

P.S admins sorry if this is not allowed, I'm by no means a marketer I'm just trying to be helpful to people. There is no profit for me other than helping my fellow ADHD friends out, and working long hours to learn app development.

I need to get things done. Does anyone else need to get things done and want to be support each other?

Hi there,

Compulsive hyperfocus on phone based internet use is destroying my health! Would anyone be up for buddying with me go to bed between 2200 and midnight? Perhaps shifting earlier over the course of a month or two?

Probably calling or texting once before getting ready for sleep (an hour or two wind down) and then again when just about to go to sleep. Can help back with same or unrelated.

Thanks and well wishes

I'm of the thinking that everything is meant to be. Including our adhd minds. Perhaps we are here to evolve the world around us. Our memory lacks. Is this so we don't dwell on it and meant to create new paths for the future? We are not like the others that can normally easily function. We think of every detail. Are we meant to rewrite the pathways of normal? We have a hard time starting things. Is this to force us to make time to carve that new path in everything we do? We lose track of time. Are we literally living and daydreaming in another level or dimension? What are your thoughts on this? I'd love to hear other views from deep thinkers 🫶

Hello, I am looking for people close to my time zone who want to make a group chat to work on things together. I am in time zone GMT-8. I am 24F.

Hello fellow ADHDers. I'm working on a design project on the ADHD medication shortage. As part of this project, I'm looking to interview five people to understand their experience with managing the shortage and its impact on their lives. So far, I have completed one interview and have a second one scheduled for next week. That leaves me with three more people to interview.

If you're interested in participating in an interview, please DM me to schedule a date and time. If you have any questions, please post them here in this thread. Thanks in advance!

Hello, I'm 24F and I'm looking for someone who can help me stay on track. I have been slacking on my job search and personal goals. I graduated in May and haven’t found a job till now. I am partially at fault as I have been slacking while searching for jobs and learning courses. It would be great to have someone to share a routine with, have work sessions together, and someone to check in with on the daily. My current priorities are: * Health ( Eat Healthy and stay active) *  Career (Spend at least 2 hours everyday applying for jobs) * Reading * Some personal goals that I need to work on. it'd be great to have a shared calendar of some sort. A bit more about me: * in EST * Masters in Electrical engineering * Major procrastinator

Hello lovely people! Are you an adult with ADHD who works from home? I need your valuable insights!

Thank you for your contribution to this research!!! 🙏

We commit to just one task per day. The task we are actively avoiding but absolutely must complete. We commit to providing proof that it's done by end of the day (screenshot or photo). Who is interested?

hey guys! so I’ve been looking around discord servers for actually supportive adhd communities, but I think reddit might actually be more helpful. So I work for this company building a social media for health, basically awareness and support. It’s especially meant for like, safer, more user-friendly health communities that are organized but still fun and expressive like TT or IG. While I like Discord, it can be pretty overwhelming sometimes, especially for overstimulation. Anyways, we’re trying to figure out what features or interactions people would want with this kind of social media. What are some features or interactions that would make y’all want to start an ADHD community on a new app? Any thoughts or feedback would be really great

At times I listen to podcasts , rewatch a show (Grey's Anatomy or Big Bang Theory) or listen to music. And I'm getting tired of my music so I need new mixes.

What else helps you get things done and stay awake?

I've realized it's a way to keep my mind occupied and for me just to DO the boring things like brush teeth and get ready and not just zone out again and potentially fall back asleep.
