From my experience with ADHD - calenders are excruciatingly hard to use consistently. Either it "takes too much time" or I completely forget I was trying to use a calender.

Having a tool that can automatically add items from infodumps/todolists would be useful.

I don't udnerstand the chrome extension part though.

Keep an notepad file open; only when you remeber add stuff to it. At some point it will become a hardened habit and honestly much better than some AI crutch. There are better uses for AI in my opinion..

One of the symptoms of ADHD is borderline impossibility of forming habits, in the way that neurotypical people think about them.

Not true at all, and obviously im on this thread because im not neurotypical. ADHD is about misfunctioning emotional regulation and nothing to do with inability to form habits, as a matter of fact coping strategies is basically habits that work with disfunction. With ADHD I can focus extremely well, hyperfocus actually but not on the things that I find boring.

I'm strongly in the "near impossible to form habits" ADHD camp, so I agree with GP and disagree with you. Or, I guess, there are different flavors to the experience. Mine includes my mind actively resisting habit forming.

ADHD is also about executive dysfunction, which means I often forget or find it "too hard" (due to insufficient dopamine) to do the behavior I want to make into a habit. But it's different to everyone, I have inattentive ADHD, you might have a hyperactive ADHD which means you struggle with emotional regulation and impulsivity far more than executive dysfunction and inattentiveness, so different tools work for you.

"Keep using X, remember to interact with it" is exactly the problems people struggle with in the first place. This is not an actionable advice on its own.

I have many files and many pages of an actual notebook. For the most part dates are near useless because I rarely refer back to todo-lists. I've tried todo lists but they just end up being a pile of todo items I never look at, get around to, remember what they're for, or don't have time/priority to do it.

Obsidian helps a lot for actual notes. That's the only thing keeping me remotely organized.

That's very true, what I would love to see is have it intelligently pull todo items from my obsidian notes. I'm personally not a fan of using AI for anything if it's not local though, especially with access to all of my notes.
