any other adhders out there that try and “bookmark” thoughts that you would like to think about when you’re done thinking about the thing you’re currently thinking about but you forget what the thing you wanted to think about was

Before a class starts, I take a piece of paper out of my notebook and title it “Junk Thoughts”.

So at any point during the lecture, if I have any of those ADHD thoughts:

I need to send x an email about y.

I should really do the dishes.

That would be a good D&D plotline.

When is x person getting married?

Who killed Archduke Franz Ferdinand?

I can write them down and go back to focusing on the lecture. Sometimes I’ll go back to that list and I won’t actually need those thoughts, but it’s good to have a list just in case.
