From Tasks to Triumphs: How a Done List Builds Confidence and Momentum for ADHD Brains
Manage episode 509228860 series 3653061
Ever end the day feeling like your to-do list won? Let’s change that. We explore the done list—a simple, ADHD-friendly system that spotlights what you actually completed, improves self-concept, and builds real momentum toward bigger goals. Instead of chasing perfection, we focus on repeatable actions that set success in motion and the positive outcomes that follow.
Here you'll find how to start and maintain a daily done list using any method that fits your brain—scribbles, photos, voice notes, or apps—and why logging in the evening promotes sleep. You’ll learn the ABC method (Action, Behavior, Consequence) to connect setup actions you control with the behaviors you want and the rewards that keep motivation alive.
You’ll also learn the many benefits of keeping a done list, to review your lists to mark highlights, consolidate small items into big themes, and spot patterns you can reuse across life and work. We talk practical upgrades: shifting routine chores to a checklist, keeping your done list focused on meaningful progress, and using your archive as proof against negative self-talk. By the end, you’ll have a clear, low-friction way to build resilience, increase focus, and feel in control of your life.
