How much can you actually do in a day with ADHD?

Every morning, I open my notebook, scroll through all of the todo items, and pick some stuff to do for the day.

Depending on the day, my mood, and what needs doing, I either pick…

  • 1-3 big tasks plus 3-5 smaller ones, or…
  • Up to 12 smaller tasks.

I try to pick a mix of stuff I’m excited about and stuff that has to get done. If there’s anything time-sensitive, that almost always makes the list.

Some days, I get it all done. Some days, I don’t. But it’s a good target.
