• 1:13
  it for in a week solid and changed my whole life like how
• 1:17
  my bags into my eyes just changed.
• 1:18
  They went completely gone from being like luggage cases.
• 1:22
  So yeah, definitely check it out.
• 1:23
  Money off with this code. All right, on with the video.
• 1:27
  OK guys, let me know in the comment section below.
• 1:29
  If you have ADHD and autism or just ADHD, I'd love to know.
• 1:32
  I have both because they come overly for me, but some people
• 1:35
  just have ADHD and I'd love to know what the ratio is.
• 1:37
  So let me know in a comment down below.
• 1:39
  I'd read and respond to every single one, so your comment is
• 1:41
  never wasted and I'd love to have a conversation with you
• 1:44
  okay. So I kind of went through all of
• 1:46
  the ones that I specifically use every single day to hack my life
• 1:49
  to make sure that it's easy, it's accessible and it's calm in
• 1:53
  the best way possible. So these are five of the best
• 1:55
  ADHD apps that I have come across.
• 1:57
  I've made just for you because I know how amazing you are and
• 2:00
  just just awesome. Thank you so much for watching
• 2:02
  this video. Let's get into it.
• 2:04
  Okay. So the first app we're going to
• 2:06
  look at here is an app called Evernote.
• 2:09
  Now Evernote is an app that is kind of like A to do list.
• 2:13
  And it also does like, it's kind of like I use it as like the
• 2:16
  scrapbook of my mind. So it's kind of like a an
• 2:20
  everywhere place for your thoughts and documents and
• 2:24
  everything else. So I'll just kind of screen
• 2:27
  record my screen so you guys can see what Evernote looks like.
• 2:30
  And yeah, we'll get into it okay.
• 2:31
  So this is Evernote. It has like ideas board.
• 2:34
  You can create an idea note, you can add to Do's in here.
• 2:37
  You can also add meetings so you can make like stuff and yeah,
• 2:40
  you have like a blank document. So check it out.
• 2:42
  So if we had A to do here or an idea, so I click on this and I'm
• 2:45
  like idea, so you can literally just type in, you know whatever
• 2:50
  you want, you know that's absolutely no and you can just
• 2:52
  you can add people in this as like share with other people who
• 2:54
  have Evernote. It's great for businesses and I
• 2:58
  actually think it's great. You can also scan documents with
• 3:00
  this as well. So it's it's kind of like it's a
• 3:03
  document scanner, so you can actually scan physical documents
• 3:07
  and it's just yeah, it's just awesome.
• 3:08
  So Evernote again is a free app that you can get on the App
• 3:11
  Store and it comes in Android and iPhone.
• 3:13
  So I would definitely recommend checking Evernote out and it's
• 3:16
  just one of those things that I think if you're someone who
• 3:19
  wants to stay organized with like physical documents as well
• 3:21
  as like your mind doing stuff, Evernote is going to be the one
• 3:24
  for you. And it's just absolutely just,
• 3:28
  yeah, it's it's just awesome. Now the next app I'm going to
• 3:31
  talk about right is the Microsoft To Do List.
• 3:34
  Now this used to be called Wunderlist.
• 3:36
  Now they changed and upgraded to Microsoft to do, which is
• 3:38
  amazing and it's way better. But and I use Wunderlist forever
• 3:41
  really. So I'm going to jump onto my
• 3:43
  phone and show you what the Microsoft to do looks like.
• 3:46
  So it's basically like this. You've got a profile and the
• 3:48
  same thing again, you can add people to work with you in this
• 3:51
  actual thing, but as you can see, you've got important
• 3:54
  planned assigned to you, because obviously you could use for
• 3:56
  business. Then you've got like flagged
• 3:57
  emails, then you've got task lists, then I've got video ideas
• 4:00
  and you have like subfolders as well.
• 4:03
  And I've got my dream desks up here, which I'm actually
• 4:07
  creating all the stuff that I need.
• 4:08
  You can actually put notes in here, set reminders at a due
• 4:11
  date, you can put on repeat. So if you want, you know, tasks
• 4:13
  to repeat and you can also put ones on like, which is
• 4:17
  important. So if you click on this one,
• 4:18
  this one says, like, you know, edit the ASMR track for
• 4:20
  downloads, you know, it's important.
• 4:22
  That is super, super awesome. I think like Microsoft to do is
• 4:25
  probably one of the most used apps on any of my devices,
• 4:28
  including my iPad, iPhone and my MacBook.
• 4:31
  It actually is the thing that I use most often because it's how
• 4:34
  I keep track of my own daily tasks.
• 4:36
  So when you're like when your mind is quite cluttered like me,
• 4:39
  I have ideas coming in and then I want to jump to another idea
• 4:42
  and then I jump to another idea and I jump to another idea
• 4:44
  because of all of those things, I have to kind of keep my mind
• 4:47
  in track. And by doing that, by having
• 4:50
  Microsoft to do on my phone, I'm able to put those things in and
• 4:53
  I can keep track of all my thoughts, all my ideas on my
• 4:55
  creative plans. And you guys will know if you're
• 4:57
  on ADHD spectrum, you know exactly what I mean.
• 5:00
  So that is super cool. Also, I will leave a link for
• 5:03
  all of these apps in the description down below.
• 5:06
  So if you want to share this video with somebody who's going
• 5:08
  to get value from it, please do that.
• 5:09
  And then you can just click on those little links and you can
• 5:11
  download the apps. Okay.
• 5:12
  So I always talk about this app, which is one of my favorite
• 5:17
  ones. And this app is called Timo.
• 5:19
  Now Timo is an app which has a subscription part to it, so you
• 5:24
  have to like subscribe to it. But Timo actually comes to your
• 5:28
  iPhones, Apple Watch kind of partnership.
• 5:30
  So there's an app for your iPhone and your Apple Watch and
• 5:33
  you can set up tasks every single day.
• 5:35
  You know you can create routines, create activities and
• 5:38
  by doing that you actually use a visual blocks like you can see
• 5:42
  here. It's like self-care, break
• 5:43
  bedtime routines, all those things.
• 5:46
  This is absolutely fantastic for creating daily activities and
• 5:52
  you can choose icons like you know, so say you want to you
• 5:57
  know, I don't know we want to eat there you go avocados and or
• 6:00
  broccoli. And then you say today I'm going
• 6:02
  to create this activity and you know it's going to be called eat
• 6:07
  and then I'm going to go OK boom.
• 6:10
  And there you go it's in there and it tells you there's like a
• 6:12
  timer that goes across the top that tells you exactly there's
• 6:15
  59 minutes left to eat and it's just it's just amazing.
• 6:19
  This app is fantastic. And for people on the autism
• 6:21
  spectrum and with ADHD, I use Timo because when I'm doing
• 6:25
  stuff like, especially when I'm like going to events and stuff
• 6:29
  and I have to like leave the UK or if I'm going to do an then in
• 6:32
  the UK, I just have to remember to take my medication, remember
• 6:35
  to eat this thing when we go to this meeting, remember that
• 6:37
  meeting, just drop off that here and everywhere.
• 6:39
  Timo was the best way to do that because it comes through to my
• 6:41
  Apple Watch and I just go, Oh yeah, I have to do that.
• 6:43
  And it has like a timer. So tell me exactly how long I've
• 6:45
  got to do that task. I mean that's just amazing.
• 6:48
  Like absolutely fantastic. Timo, just like hats off.
• 6:51
  Hats off to Timo. They just God love them.
• 6:54
  OK guys, So the next one is an app that's kind of native to the
• 6:58
  iPhone. I don't know if it's on the
• 7:01
  Android or not, what it's called on Android.
• 7:03
  Let me show you on my iPhone what it looks like for me.
• 7:05
  Now this app or feature should I say our function is called Do
• 7:09
  Not Disturb function. So if you swipe down your
• 7:11
  control box here and you can see this little like Half Moon thing
• 7:15
  here. If you click on that it tells
• 7:17
  you Do not disturb do not serve for one hour until this evening
• 7:19
  you know and then you can just say until I leave this location
• 7:23
  or whatever. Now one of the things that's
• 7:24
  good about Do Not Disturb is I have a schedule to come on like
• 7:27
  this. And then what it does is it
• 7:29
  blocks anybody who wants to try and phone me or text me who are
• 7:33
  not my family members from 8:00 at night until 8:00 in the
• 7:37
  morning. And so it stops that.
• 7:38
  But then you can make like a VIP list of your friends and family.
• 7:41
  So if they do try and call you as an emergency, they can get
• 7:43
  through. What it does is it kind of like
• 7:45
  puts you to one side so that the people can't disturb you so you
• 7:49
  can focus on the task at hand. So because the ADHD I have a
• 7:52
  hard time focusing on things I really need to do.
• 7:54
  It works really well with calendars.
• 7:55
  So when I'm in meetings, my calendar knows I'm in a meeting.
• 7:58
  It says hey you're in a meeting with blah blah blah.
• 8:00
  So my do not disturb will kick on and say nobody talked to Dan.
• 8:04
  It will just reject all kinds or all those kind of communications
• 8:06
  and let's say important one as and when I'm in a meeting and it
• 8:09
  just kicks on, it's been an amazing lifesaver.
• 8:11
  I think this is one of the most interesting app functions I've
• 8:14
  seen on the iPhone for ages and it just absolutely fantastic and
• 8:18
  it works so well. So definitely check it out.
• 8:20
  I don't know what it's called on Android, but if you do know what
• 8:22
  it's called on Android, drop it a comment down below so I can
• 8:24
  pin that comment so people can see it and then they can get the
• 8:26
  Android version. That'd be super awesome.
• 8:27
  OK guys, so I'm on to the last app here now.
• 8:30
  This is one of my favorite apps as well, and I will leave a link
• 8:33
  for this app specifically in the description down below.
• 8:36
  This app is called Better Help, Not Better Help is an online
• 8:41
  counseling service. Now, one of the issues I had was
• 8:44
  basically I had to go to counseling and I had to, like
• 8:48
  travel to a counselor, sit there in a room which I didn't know in
• 8:50
  a city that I didn't live out, and sit down there and it would
• 8:52
  cost me like tons of money, tons of time.
• 8:54
  Like it was crazy. You know it's probably an hour
• 8:56
  travelling to get there and just do an hour when I just needed
• 8:59
  the hour out of my life to do the counselling.
• 9:01
  So with better help, you actually log on and you have
• 9:03
  counsellors that you book through the app and you can do
• 9:06
  video chat, voice chat or text chat with them to do your
• 9:08
  session. Now I have there's a bunch of
• 9:10
  different things and you can see it's better help up here.
• 9:12
  Now I'm I'm just shuffling through There's like a schedule
• 9:15
  in here. There's like worksheets.
• 9:18
  You can have worksheets to go through here and then you've got
• 9:20
  a journal. You can actually journal in
• 9:21
  there and there's sessions where you can actually talk to your
• 9:23
  counsel directly. But I actually love better help.
• 9:26
  It's actually one of the nicer ones because basically within 24
• 9:28
  hours they hook you up with a counselor.
• 9:30
  So this is my counselor's current like, times that she has
• 9:33
  available, and I can book whichever one I want and then
• 9:35
  you just click it and you pick whichever kind of function you
• 9:38
  want, telephone, video chat, whatever.
• 9:39
  And then just you book it. Now because the ease of this, I
• 9:43
  highly actually stopped going to physical counseling because this
• 9:46
  is so much easier because I could just sit down on a coffee
• 9:48
  chair in my house with my tea and just then pop on the
• 9:52
  counseling, sit there chill out, relax and and just have that
• 9:56
  moment, you know and and that to me was just super super useful.
• 10:00
  I highly recommend checking out better help.
• 10:03
  I will leave it in the in the link down below again as you
• 10:05
  guys can check that out and you can sign up.
• 10:06
  I think you get some kind of discount for signing up to my
• 10:09
  link. I don't know maybe or not I
• 10:10
  don't know but I have a link for it anyway and that'll be super,
• 10:13
  super awesome. So guys, they are the apps that
• 10:15
  I use every single day. I'd love to know if you use any
• 10:17
  other apps that you think are helpful or handy.
• 10:19
  So please pop on the comment down below and I'll see you next
• 10:21
  time guys. Peace.
