The ultimate visual stim. Mathmos invented the lava lamp in the 60s and they still make them in Dorset, which I love. The slow wax movement is so calming when you need to zone out for a minute between tasks. The black base version is chic enough for ...

I need something for notes and to-do lists that feels like paper but doesn't create the clutter of 47 half-used notebooks (an ADHD classic). No notifications, no browser, no distractions. Just writing. The fact it syncs digitally means I might actual...

For meetings, voice notes and capturing ideas before they disappear. It records and transcribes everything, then summarises it with AI. This is a lifesaver when you know you had a brilliant idea at 2pm but by 3pm it's completely gone. Takes the press...

I love the thin undated journals for to-do lists on the go. They fit in any bag and the layout is simple enough that I actually use them instead of losing them in a drawer. The approach is realistic and doesn't assume you have perfect executive funct...

When I need to lock in and block out the world, these are what I reach for. I use them for deep work sessions, body doubling playlists and brown noise. They're an investment, but for an ADHD brain that gets derailed by every sound in the room, they'v...
