Can't Decide What to Do Next? ADHD Fixes
Quick answer: Remove the choice: let a tool or an AI pick one task that fits your energy and time, set a short timer and start. The 'right' task matters less than starting any useful one.

The AI version
"Here's my list: [LIST]. Energy: [LOW/MED/HIGH], time: [MINUTES]. Pick ONE task for me, no options, and give me the first 2-minute step."
Urgent first rule
If something has a hard deadline today, that goes first. Everything else: pick, don't ponder.
FAQ
How do I decide what to do next when I have ADHD?
Remove the choice: let a tool or an AI pick one task that fits your energy and time, set a short timer and start. The 'right' task matters less than starting any useful one.
What if everything feels urgent?
Ask the AI to sort your list into 'today or bad things happen', 'this week' and 'someday', then only look at the first group.
