#ADHD #notification_fatigue and #alarms

With my case of ADHD, my brain will easily shove a notification to the background if I don't expect it or if the notification sound is happening too often. My threshold for "too often" is very low.

So, I use alarms sparingly. They break through my ADHD, and this is a #hack I use to set future alarms and it's pretty simple:

  1. Have a timely event that must happen more than 24 hours from now
  2. Set a repeating alarm for that day and time

Step 3, which is optional, is to disable or delete the repeating alarm. You don't want it to repeat.

This hack works for people like me for whom calendar events don't work.
