I ditched technology and switched to paper planners, in particular Japanese planners with time columns and enough space to dot down daily notes/thoughts.

After years of being tethered to Slack and other productivity apps, the only ones I use now are Google calendar (coordinating meetings with other people) and email for communication/correspondence.

I think it's been helpful for coping with ADHD. Attention is a finite resource that you only get so much of in a day, and everything online is fighting for it.

Here's an example of what I mean: https://www.jetpens.com/blog/Kokuyo-Jibun-Techo-A-3-in-1-Pla...

I'd love to ditch slack, unfortunately it, or a competitor, is the standard comms software for all jobs I've ever had.

I managed to somewhat successfully reduce the distraction by muting most channels and blocking black out times where I simply turn it off for 2-3 hours a time
