online ADD /memory assistance / brain fog resources?

[firecat]

I have a high distractability quotient and faulty short-term-to-long-term-memory transfer right now. I can think of various possible causes for this, but that's not the subject of this post.

I was thinking that people with ADD probably have developed techniques to minimize the impact of such things. Perhaps I could benefit from subscribing to a mailing list or LJ community that discusses such techniques. Do you know of any useful groups or web sites along those lines?

(I have already ordered David Allen's Getting Things Done.)

For online listmaking

[karenkay.livejournal.com]

I recommend http://www.backpackit.com/.

It's very nice because you can make up to five pages (for free); I have one for work and one for home, to start with. On each page, you can make several lists. (I haven't run into a limit there yet.)

I like it because of the larger organization (that you can make pages, and then categories of things (lists) under that basic organization. I also like the fact that I have the same tool at home and at work, without having to carry it with me. it's not as ubiquitous as David Allen might like, but it does it for me.

Thanks! I have about half a dozen list making tools. I need to decide on one and use it.

I like and use todo.txt http://www.todotxt.com/
Plain text files, written in python.

I use text files for a lot of my record-keeping now. I'll look into what todo.txt adds to them.
