ADD Tip: You can change the goals on your to-do list!

As your needs and your situation change during the day, don't be afraid to cross out and replace items on your to-do list.

And if you accomplished something that wasn't on your to-do list, write it down and check it off!

This will help you maintain a more realistic idea of your productivity during the day, as well as identify any particular things that may be hindering your productivity or taking up too much of your time.

Photograph of a checklist written in pencil on lined 4 x 6 inch notepaper, dated "Tues. 2/04/25" with checkboxes drawn next to each of twenty-six list items. Each item is either checked off, crossed out, or left alone. A quick glance reveals that the seven "intended" list items are mostly crossed out or left alone, while the nineteen "extra" list items, all having to do with either "Mom" or "Dad," are all checked off.

The list items are as follows:
Do yoga (crossed out).
Check brake lines (crossed out).
Lunch! (left alone).
Study for certification exam 2 hrs (crossed out).
Offer to cook dinner so Mom can wash dishes (checked off, annotated "no").
Call Jerry about painting (crossed out).
Wash dishes? Make dinner? (checked off, "wash dishes" is circled, "make dinner" is crossed out).
From this point on, all entries are checked off.
Help Mom donate to Sylvia's Go Fund Me.
Explain to Mom that Joe S. and Joe K. are two different people (three check boxes, all checked off).
Make sure that Mom's taken her meds (annotated "yes").
Prove to Mom I already helped her donate 2 Sylvia.
Reprogram heat pump.
Convince Mom to leave heat pump controls alone (there is a question mark by the check box).
From this point on, the printing gets sloppier.
Help Dad move old compressor.
Help Mom cook dinner.
Explain to Dad that computer was already on, reboot.
Calm Dad down & get him to leave Mom alone.
Clean up mess at dining table.
Find Mom a teevee show to watch.
Clean up mess in kitchen.
Explain teevee show to Mom.
Explain to Dad (why furbies aren't MOGAI is crossed out) difference between furries & furbies is added.
Listen to Dad rant about quote deviants unquote.
Prove to Mom she already took her dentures out.
The last 2 items are crammed into the bottom margin of the paper.
Let Mom cry on my shoulder.
Mop kitchen floor.
