Fidgets
When you need to get that energy out to help you focus these are the things to reach for
I consider myself a fidget connoisseur and these hit all the marks for me. Different textures that mix and match and you can silently use these to help yourself calm down or focus. They’re so great I’ve ordered 4 of them and give them to my friends a...
Sensory Silicone Magnetic Fidget Toys
This is my second ring (I lost the first of course). I love this because it doesn’t tarnish, it is completely quiet, it is thin and stylish.
When I am not wearing it, I am noticeably more fidgety and miss it!
I can quietly spin the balls under my f...
Jacruces 925 Silver Anxiety Fidget Ring
Why are these so cute?! Sometimes you need to just squeeze or pull something (or roll your hand on it), and this cute piggy is perfect!

Get this. Read this. Practice this. I cannot stress enough how much this book has changed my life. It is an easy read (and great audiobook too!) and I reread it at least a few times a year to help me remember how to live a values based life.
The Happiness Trap (2nd Ed): Stop Struggling

ADHD trait- out of sight out of mind, and if I have to put any effort in it won’t happen.
I love these pill holders- they’re super cheap (3 for $6) and I can put in my pills for a few weeks at a time and will actually take them (since I embed it in ...

Next to medication, these things have helped my productivity at work and home so much!
I have a ton of meetings every day and taking notes, organizing to dos, while actively listening and contributing (and trying not to interrupt) started to get impossible.
I started using one note to take notes and organize meetings and to do lists, b...
Plaud| The world's No.1 AI voice recorder
The pomodoro method has changed everything for me. You don’t need this app- just a timer works (or you can create a shortcut on your phone too).
Have task paralysis because you’re overwhelmed? Or do you open an email and then find yourself going down...
Pomodoro Timer
Did you know you can create a shortcut that will turn on your phones timer (pomodoro method), put your notifications on hold, and play a focus playlist?
How about remind you when you turn on your lights after work to take your medicine? Shortcuts ar...
