Planning & Focus · How I’m Wired
How you plan, organise, start tasks and manage your time, including focus and memory.
13 statements, about 4 minutes. For each one, pick “That’s me”, “Sometimes” or “Not really”. Free, and not a diagnosis. At the end you get feedback in words: your strengths, what can feel harder, what helps you and ideas to try.
Strengths
- I can focus deeply on things that interest me.
- I do some of my best work close to a deadline when I am under pressure.
- I’ve found my own ways to keep track of things.
What can feel harder
- Starting tasks is hard, even ones I want to do.
- I lose track of time.
- I forget things unless I write them down. Then I can lose my list.
- Switching from one task to another is hard. Even different tabs on browsers.
- Planning the steps of a bigger task feels overwhelming.
- Keeping my home or workspace organised is hard.
What helps
- Lists, reminders or alarms.
- Having someone nearby while I work (sometimes called body doubling).
- Breaking tasks into small steps.
- A deadline, or someone checking in with me.
