Notion
All-in-one workspace that adapts to your brain
What It Helps With
Helps you organize scattered thoughts, projects, and notes in one flexible workspace without forcing rigid structures.
Why It Helps ADHD Brains
Notion's flexibility means you can start simple and add structure only when you need it. Unlike rigid project management tools, it doesn't force you into workflows that don't fit your brain. The visual organization helps reduce overwhelm by letting you see everything in one place.
