🧠 ADHD Memory & Routine Support
Tools that help when your brain forgets things, skips steps, or loses track of routines.
This is about reducing mental load and having things gently handled for you.

Deep Sleep Binaural Beats (YouTube) — Night Wind Down Sound
This is one I haven’t personally built into my routine yet, but it’s recommended a lot for staying focused — especially if you struggle with distractions or picking your phone up constantly.
The idea is simple: you “plant” a timer and grow a virtual...
Forest — Focus Timer & Distraction Blocker

Notion — All-in-One Organisation & Brain System
