> If you know what the task is, hear the reminder to get back on task and still don't get back on task, you need emotional tools. This is beyond a single post, but look for a therapist who can help you with the emotional side of ADHD.

What do you mean by emotional tools ?

[annie_muss]

Anything that deals with changing your emotions to improve your ability to get tasks done, rather than just organizational tools (calendars, planners, todo lists, apps).

This includes but isn't limited to, CBT, mantras, positive self-talk, body doubling, breathing techniques.

At the end of the day, no calendar, todo list or app can make you do a task. If you're getting the reminder, in the right place with the right tools and enough time to do the task but you still don't do it then the problem lies elsewhere. Maybe you feel too anxious or overwhelmed. You need tools to address those problems, not just remind you what you need to do.
