I've been neglecting my ADHD for two years now and I finally set up an appointment. I keep having the same high and lows and the cycle doesn't stop and it doesn't feel right conforming but I'm going to try the pills anyways and see if it helps.

It's nothing that I worried about but I didn't want to keep neglecting suggestions and missing an opportunity for something that can turn out to be a benefit that increases the productivity of my lifestyle.

Sometimes that's what it takes, the only way you'll figure out if you don't need them is by trying them out.

Pills are just one part of a solution. Proper framing of your routine is important. Goal-oriented training is also good. Lack of focus is our dilemma. Everything that gets us on a track and keeps us there is beneficial.

I used to use Google Tasks, and then that became a data dump of information and ideas of what to do next (personally) and what to do next (business wise) on top of what to do next (on specific projects and different projects). Then I switched to gqueues, then some other to dos that I don't remmeber, I think the standard one that comes on the iPod and other ones..the last one I used was any.do + some sort of combination of things to read with evernote.

They (any.do+evernote) are still the same data dump and nothing really beats off my current set up which is simply google calendar, post it notes on mirrors and walls, behind doors and other places. That's the reminder and keeping in focus part. What I'm really looking for is a Google Glass AR app to visualize statistics and basically the game of life and to have it in my field of vision at least turned on every 15 minutes throughout my whole day.

It's funny that people with ADHD, or any other mental condition are more prone to accept transhumanistic technology without worrying about dehumanization.

I'm completely fine walking with a Vegeta-like scouter to stay on task. Eventually it'll become habit, like the post it notes.

I can also completely accept some sort of solar powered tattoo, in the shape of a watch or anything that'll allow the tattoo to create a hologram, that beams like a simple pager of my next thing to do, powered with an API transmitted through my phone through Bluetooth.

You know one of these days I'll tackle funding a project that helps ADHD people with different ways of learning and tackling tasks.

I so totally relate to your way of thinking. For me it was Google Cal and Android sync. The droid was simply an extension of the web interface pinging me with things to do and where to go.
