Your planning style
Give each note a job: understand something, find it again, or decide what happens next. You don’t have to capture every detail for it to be useful.
End an intention with an action and a cue: “When I open the proposal tomorrow, compare the two costs”. If–then planning connects a decision to a moment when you can act.
What you bring
Checking details matters when a decision has consequences. Saving the reason behind a choice can also spare you from reconstructing it later.
Put the takeaway near the top and separate facts from questions. “Fits the space; delivery unconfirmed” shows what’s settled and what still needs attention.
What to watch for
Longer notes don’t always bring more clarity. Name the uncertainty that could actually change your choice, and check that before polishing what you already know.
For a low-stakes task, try one rough opening or one option. Your care can support the next step without requiring certainty about the whole project.
3 small things to try
Give the note a useful title. Use words you’d actually search for later.
End with one takeaway. Add “What I want to remember” or “What happens next”.
Revisit before rewriting. Check whether you already have a note that can hold this thought.
ADHD-friendly ways to stay on track
Make the starting point concrete. “Write one rough sentence” asks less of you than “work on the report”. Keep only the instructions for that step in front of you.
When instructions feel tangled, ask for a short written version or split them into a checklist. You can keep the detailed notes nearby without having to reread everything before each step.
Research behind these suggestions
This quiz is just for fun and self-reflection. It doesn’t define your personality or provide a diagnosis or medical advice. Take what feels useful and leave the rest.
