App helping an ADHD-Student
What to expect?
It is hard to explain something
so unique. You might just want to try it out. It is free.
Goalist can be downloaded and set up manually, but here you will have a unique chance to download a fully built-up system in form of a backup to get a planning head-start!
​
The app supports a realistic perception of time: Tasks are assigned default durations. I would for example often think certain things "only take 5 minutes".
Expanding the default duration of the task "Do Laundry" from 15 minutes to 25 is an example. App statistics of 2 months claimed, that the average duration of the task was 25 minutes. My estimation had been off.
Eventhough it's a simple daily task, it might occupy more time of your day. Correct time estimations play a crucial part in preventing overestimating personal ressources and ultimately burnout and depression.
​
A different kind of perspective
​
It also allows me to put things in perspective and remind me what is important by organizing tasks and goals by the life-values I set to follow. It can be perfectly combined with the Value-work from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
​
I can evaluate past behavior according to the statistics that the app provides according to the tasks I have finished, their duration or the goal that I have attached them to. And these are only examples. It is almost limitless.
Imagine having a secretary
If you want to make use of a secretary you need to know which jobs you can delegate to them and make sure the co-working evolves with the time spent together.
​
Goalist is my secretary.
​
The system is unlike any other I know. It is not based on fixed times, like a calendar, but instead it represents a 24-hour window, where you can add tasks and modify their duration as you go. It gives me the flexibility I need without distracting from what is important.
​
To set up my Day Plan I use routines with tasks that remind and guide me to take good care of myself in every aspect of life. Doing so I have the resources to study and be the best version of myself.
