ADHD & overwhelm: the power of chunking tasks

Large tasks can be intimidating, and that intimidation often leads to procrastination. By breaking jobs down into smaller, more manageable steps, they become easier to complete.

One effective tool for chunking is a task ladder, where each completed chunk gets celebrated as a win. The sense of accomplishment after tackling each small step helps motivations and keep progress on track.

Chunking tasks helps you manage time and maintain focus on one thing, which is especially helpful for neurodivergent brains. To-do lists, digital tools or sticky notes are all great items to break jobs down visually. Try the Magic To Do on Goblin Tools, a free app for separating tasks into smaller parts!
