One of the things my ADHD diagnosis did for me was making me face the fact that I will never have a good working memory and it doesn't matter how hard I try so I might as well offload some of those memory needs to a bullet journal.

The fact that it's analog is particularly good for ADHD because I don't know about you but I can't pick up my phone to add something to my to do list without being distracted by 15 notifications and there is notification I can't snooze/dismiss into Oblivion but my tasks on my daily log just hang out there until it's completed, migrated or officially abandoned.

I’m thinking the same thing! A bullet journal literally just to set basic tasks for myself and a regular cleaning schedule for the week. It sounds a tad bit extra but also like it can really help.
I think the benefits outweigh the cons.

Good luck. I’m setting here myself trying to plan my week out... and next week.. thought Christmas is this week.. so there’s that. But my brain isn’t letting me ..it’s saying you need to do this, get stickers , oh go fold those towels

Thanks for the replies guys!! I guess I'm off to buy a new Leuchtturm notebook (I am unable to bullet journal/agenda if the notebook isn't sleek and attractive on the outside. Otherwise I just don't care enough) 

I'll have to really make a routine out of it because I'm in a professional dance program, which means I am more often in a studio and on a dancefloor than sitting anywhere to take notes but I HAVE to take notes about stuff otherwise my semester calls for disaster and so does my future career if I don't get organized!!

Day planning is one of the most helpful things I do, but the actual bullet journal system I find a pain. Drawing up the pages is such a drain of time and focus. I have all my template pages in a word processor, print them out once a week, and then fill in the details by hand.

I don't think it's cheesy or extra, tbh. Anyone who can't afford a PA is keeping track of their day somehow. Having the day planned out on paper where I can see it makes everything so much easier for me.

Sometimes I get so resentful towards myself with those thoughts like "I don't want to have to do that. It takes so long and other people don't have to do it". Sometimes I'm so mad at myself that I refuse to do it just out of spite TO MYSELF and don't even realize it until I'm in such a bad place and finally realize I'm self-sabotaging again.

I got one then promptly stopped using it after a week. Some habits are just tough to pick up, disorder or not.

I always get mildly annoyed with myself when I put down things like "remember to brush your teeth" or "hey it's shower time!" cause I think everyone else can just...do them so it makes me feel like a child who needs reminded.   


But! It's helped me a lot realizing that a lot of other people have to do this too. So it's becoming less a marker of being childish and more a marker of a different adulthood experience

But I know it works... thing is, when I used to do it and write my goals, and write my "self management" goals and "how I want to feel tomorrow on X particular day" pages, it helped me a lot I think, but I am annoyed to feel the need to do that, and I find it cheezy, though I know it can help!!! 
Part of me is like I don't want to have to do that!   
Thoughts?!?

I think I need to bullet journal but part of me finds it cheesy/is annoyed to need the tool
