ADHD at work

Write a to-do list you'll actually use

Quick answer: Turn every item into a verb-first action, keep 3 for today, and hide the rest. AI can rewrite a vague list into clear actions in seconds.

The problem

Your list is 47 items long, vague, and makes you feel worse every time you look at it.

Copy, paste, go

Rewrite this to-do list so every item starts with a verb and is specific enough to start without thinking. Mark the 3 most important for today. [PASTE]
