New fave adhd object: a wristwatch. Just a little miraculous doohicky that tells me what the time is without telling me I have a ton of texts and emails to look at. 10/10 would recommend.
Cannot emphasise enough how life changing it is to know at a glance what the time is, how much time has elapsed, and have all of this information without learning if a group chat is popping off

@stavvers and for those of us who can't stand things on our wrists for long, a pocket watch is available!
...I should get a pocket watch.

@ozzelot yeah, I guess there's a slight danger of accidentally pulling out an Object Of Distraction while going into a pocket though. Certainly would be for me

@stavvers I wonder if this is one of the reasons I have a bunch of them

@stavvers I also have notifications disabled on my non-work Android phone (which is realistically used as a little phablet with GPS and Fedi access, and as a quick info looker-upper at say the flea market, nobody has its number) for anything but OS/app updates and SMS. The phone I may be called on is a Nokia 3210 4G (2024).

@stavvers Yeah, the firmware of the 3210 4G has a few annoying quirks (for example, unlocking the phone throws me straight into the menu instead of the home screen), but so did the phones of Back Then - and at least this one can theoretically easily get a firmware update, though I'm not giving HMD much chance in that regard.

Also weirdly finding a face clock way better for time management, like 13.47 feels a long way away from 14:00 and therefore Heaps Of Time while Hand Pointing To Nearly 2 is much more of a "girl you have to get a move on" signal

@stavvers (it's neat to see times such as 8:08, if i'm awake by then, or 13:12 though)

@stavvers switched to mechanical watch exactly to drop cortisol levels.

@multiplex it's genuinely such a de-stressor, £100 well spent

repping an a700 has been a godsend for looking subtle but clean -
