Focus Tools for ADHD: What Works For You?

If you’re looking for ways to focus, you came to the right place! With the right tools, you can turn a chaotic day into one that’s full of wins! Check out these empowering tools to help keep you engaged in ways that are uplifting and fun!

For some, a little pressure can help someone get things done. Using a timer helps break tasks into manageable chunks (like the Pomodoro technique, where you do 25 minutes of work and then 5 minutes of rest). The ticking of a timer can also work as a gentle reminder to stay on task without feeling overwhelmed.

• Try it out: Use your phone timer, a kitchen timer, or a sand glass if you prefer something quieter. Seeing a timer can create a subtle push to focus on a task, one at a time.
• Fun tip: Turn it into a game! You’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish before the timer goes off.
