When it comes to task management for us neurodivergents, and you're like me, then it's usually just a complete failure.
Todo apps just don't work how my head does, because my head is chaotic. My to do app for projects becomes insanely detailed and complex, before hitting a wall of limitation, and then I just get overwhelmed.
Then trying to work this way for more domestic tasks and organizing my life, all falls by the wayside and I seem to never get anything done.
So, I was trying out different task apps again, and came across a FOSS desktop app called WeekToDo Planner.
I saw that it was apparently a very minimal ToDo app, and I was expecting to try it for two minutes, then remove it for being too simple.
But it was this simplicity which actually ended up intriguing me and making it useful. The app is just daily columns to add tasks, which slides left and right, like an image gallery on a website.
I've been finding it useful being able to work out basic task a few days in advance, more like jotting down the overall things, rather than getting stuck in all of the details like I tend to.
A useful feature is the option to auto move tasks, where any undone tasks on a Wednesday, for example, will slide over to the next day.
I've found that this allows me to see tasks building up before it all becomes too overwhelming. And of course you can easily drag and drop, or delete tasks.
Now, I'm never going to be using this app for my project work, but it is helping me put some structure and focus into my general daily life.
So I'm sharing this with my Au and ADHD friends here in case this is useful for anyone else.

I casually mentioned to the electrician doing the circuit breaker box move in my home that the California code requiring smoke detectors in each bedroom in my small house seemed like overkill, and he launched into an impassioned speech as to why they’re so important and how they save lives.

So go make sure you have your smoke alarms!

The Cognitive Load of It All, or the Response Matrix [US/pols, prepping, Ω] by @siderea

"As our country slides into catastrophe, part of what a lot of people are struggling with is the sheer overwhelm of all there is to deal with cognitively, so it might be helpful to have a high-level overview, on a meta-level, of what all there is, just to help grapple with it all. This is not a map, this is like the coordinate system that gets overlaid on an old-school paper map"
