Adults with ADHD should carry a paper journal and pen as external working memory. Write down every agreement, request, and task immediately. Paper beats digital devices because phones get lost, forgotten, or left off, making analog capture more reliable.

If you're an adult with ADHD, you should not be going anywhere without a paper journal in your pocket with a pen. Because anything you agree to do or anything others ask you to do is to be immediately written in that journal. And that journal is welded to your body. That is your working memory. Use it. And by the way, we find journals are better than digital devices because they lose the devices and they don't remember to turn them on and they don't remember to dictate into them.
