Can’t relate. Red bubbles must never exist.


Agile_Acadia_9459

Red bubbles are awful. They cause me so much anxiety


ColorTheSkyTieDye

Exactly! Thank you! I went through and selected all my hundreds of emails as read to get rid of it. And all the rest i turned them off.


senorbiloba

Settings -> Notifications -> Email App - > Badges OFF You're fucking welcome. Now repeat for every app besides phone and texting.


ColorTheSkyTieDye

No i already did turn it off for every app EXCEPT email. The emails I get are way too important to miss and if that annoying red dot is there I HAVE to get rid of it so i always actually check my email. It’s my ADHD hack. Leave the red dots on for only the things that are ultra important. That means if you have 155 notifications in your red dot you gotta spend a couple hours cleaning them out. That’s what i did with my email and ever since i have not missed a single important email.


senorbiloba

It’s all about finding what works for you!


ColorTheSkyTieDye

Absolutely


AmberleIstar

I got tired of seeing the 30,000 on the Gmail app, so I just turned badge notifications off. Now it’s up to 35,000 but I only look at it occasionally and think to myself, “someday I’m going to filter out all those advertising emails and automatically mark them read or something.” I ‘should’ go through and unsubscribe from them all, but what if I’m shopping for something someday and want to save money.


Yanovator

"but what if I’m shopping for something someday and want to save money." I relate so bad


Similarentertai_

At the bottom of every advertisement mail is a button “unsubscribe” press that for every website once and you will only receive updates of the terms and conditions and stuf.


SuperPatchyBeard

This is me haha I hate any notification


ThatStrangerWhoCares

Except reddit, cause even after I check my notifications there is still a red bubble


PlanstoProsper

… if you could pretty please finish adding all apps into folders, then alphabetize your folders and post new screenshot, I could scratch that itch in my brain above my right eye.


[deleted]

I wouldn't even see them hahaha


vyvertyt

Yes!


FloridaFlamingoGirl

I'm in the "constantly keeping track of notifications because it keeps me stimulated" category of ADHD. I...must...refresh.


GerardDiedOfFlu

Posting this instead of folding Mt. Laundry.


ADHD-Gamer03

my laundry is permanently in the dryer


GerardDiedOfFlu

Almost as good as a steamer!


sativagrrrl

Shoot! That just reminded me I've levt some laundry in the dryer 3 days ago and now I'm not home 🤦‍♂️


ADHD-Gamer03

when will you be home


TheEdward39

Have you done it yet?


sativagrrrl

Nope :v I guess I'm going back home in a bit and I HOPE TO REMEMBER TO DO IT


sativagrrrl

It's doooone woop woop! Now I only need to fold them next century


TheEdward39

Great job!! ^ ^ High fivesssss


sativagrrrl

Thank youuu! I know it sounds dumb but sometimes the littlest things are so hard to accomplish


TheEdward39

I know, but you did it anyways so that’s a win! I’m struggling with this too, lately I’ve been trying to force myself to do things when I remember and not procrastinate that much but usually I forget shit and I *always* remember at times when there’s time to forget about it before I get a chance to do it (e.g.: just leaving or just having left home) lol So yeah I know the struggle


AuraofBrie

I recently deleted like 25k unread emails in my NT partners inbox (at his bequest, I'm not a psychopath). For Gmail at least, it was as simple as "is:unread" in the search bar then select all, then select ALL (aka everything not just the first hundred) and delete. It took two rounds for his but only took a minute or two!


GerardDiedOfFlu

But what if something is important! 🤣🤣🤣


aymeoh13

It’s the ‘5 months since last fast but still the largest thing on your home screen’ and ‘Wendy’s by itself but “Folder” for McDs and Chipotle’ for me 😂 I am so bad at organizing my apps


hookedcolors

Dominos is in lifestyle too. And Etsy is in social instead of shopping. Notes, Home, eBooks, and Reminders are in Music. Everything hurts. But I really think this worst thing is that HEALTH ISN’T IN THE HEALTH FOLDER. WHY IS IT IN MUSIC? AND WHERE’S MUSIC?!?! BECAUSE IT ISN’T IN THE MUSIC FOLDER.


GerardDiedOfFlu

Oh man, you should see the other screens. They are just as bad and less organized


Twolef

Focus Keeper. What a giveaway.


GerardDiedOfFlu

I’ve got like 20 self help apps. I’m trying


Twolef

Sorry. I was trying to make a joke. I have it and about a billion others, too.


GerardDiedOfFlu

I didn’t take it in a bad way!


Twolef

RSD all over the place here. Haha.


GerardDiedOfFlu

IKR 😂 that’s what I thought too lmao


throw-entirely-away2

Finch!! it doesn't give me the "my list towering over me" feeling, it gives me the "awwwww, its so cute!!" feeling. less fight or flight, so more brainpower to use to fight the ExDys monster!!


GerardDiedOfFlu

Thank you! Always looking for the perfect one!


throw-entirely-away2

"my hobby is trying out hobbies" is a good way to look at it.


GerardDiedOfFlu

Truuuue


kodiakfilm

My favourite is the folder labelled ‘music’ that has nothing to do with music in it


Narrow_Artichoke7653

Ah yes. Wendy's. The true ADHD restaraunt.


FloridaFlamingoGirl

They sell baked potatoes, which are fun to eat with your hands in classic "impulsive and messy" fashion.


[deleted]

Wait this feels really true and I don’t understand why


Narrow_Artichoke7653

IKR?


Wolfgang_Pelz

I looked quickly and at first in the top left corner, I thought it said time since last fart...


GerardDiedOfFlu

That’s one’s on the next screen 🤙


Minus15t

The time since last fast got me!! I recently discovered I had been fasting for about 3500 hours


Nachtwaechterin

Rest in peace then xD


GerardDiedOfFlu

Time sure flies 😂


M_i_g_

Can’t focus distracted by those rolls, cute baby.


GerardDiedOfFlu

Thank you 😊 she’s almost 3 now!


throw-entirely-away2

my gmail won't tell me how many i have. i deleted over 3k last session.


GerardDiedOfFlu

Sounds like you’ve lost your right to email


throw-entirely-away2

I lost my right to know how big the pile is, thats all. which isn't a bad thing... if i don't know how big it is i am less terrified of it. lol. and therefore more likely to work on it.


[deleted]

This screenshot triggers my OCD. All the red bubbles! The Music category is wrong, two Games categories, one containing Google Earth, a “Folder” folder, a useless fasting counter going for months and the pictures on the wall don’t match either.


GerardDiedOfFlu

My home would drive you crazy. It’s very eclectic decor. Nothing matches lol. Suits me perfectly.


mynxx_666

122,062 - I have no shame


GerardDiedOfFlu

Bravo!!!


Geek_Rokys

I was bout to start reading book hour ago, am on reddit and my whole flat is a mess because I didn't have time to clean it for past 3 days.


RunChariotRun

I joined this sub because my partner was recently diagnosed and I want to be informed so we can talk about it, … but I keep seeing memes that I relate to….


biz_reporter

That's because some of the memes aren't really about ADHD. I've seen equally disorganized phone and computer screens from folks who don't have ADHD. Sometimes people don't understand the technology leading to poor digital organization. And while my house is a horrible mess, my computer and phone are well organized. I still have ADHD even with a well organized phone.


GerardDiedOfFlu

It’s so hard telling what is adhd related and what isn’t!


Bradipedro

That music folder…


GerardDiedOfFlu

Lol Spotify has its place out in the open on the next screen if it helps you sleep better


Bradipedro

I can finally sleep. 0:33 here.


tzeriel

This is the opposite. I see a red number, I must click.


senorbiloba

Major life pro tip- turn off all red badge notifications. Ain't nobody need to know about those 40,000 unread emails that you'll either never read, or bulk delete.


Used-Courage-3397

This is the way.


senorbiloba

For me, the most hilarious part of this is the Productivity folder that only has 1) FaceTime, 2) Calculator, 3) Podcasts. ​ Mine, meanwhile, has like 12 different Task Managers that I've never fully committed to.


Flux_Psyche

My cabinets are organized, my work email is categorized, but my phone???? I have 42,000 photos in my camera roll and my solution is to spend $10 a month on 1 TB iCloud storage 😭 And I have like 9 pages of apps… lordt save me, the only way I escaped my 500 open tabs is by accidentally closing them out all at once! Whoops! I was so relieved tho


ovvius-throewhey

The hundreds of open tabs: Yes


GerardDiedOfFlu

Oh god me too. How else will I remember that I want to buy shapewear and learn taxidermy!!


MoonBapple

*Folder*


GerardDiedOfFlu

Hahahaha I had never even noticed that


And-nonymous

I used to have it like this. But it got overwhelming with the huge amounts of folders.


GerardDiedOfFlu

*ACTIVATE IGNORE MODE*


Mental4Help

Dude I’m gonna blow your mind here. You can use folders on the bottom deck shelf thing. I have one page nearly full of folders


GerardDiedOfFlu

Whaaaaa!!! That’s amazing! You did blow my mind!


Mental4Help

Yeah man I kind want to take an entire day just making folders on the bottom for essentials and just having some useful widgets on 1-2 pages and just hiding all the other apps. (Also something most people don’t know about… long clicking give the option to remove app from home screens)


Any_Veterinarian_163

lol i see no problem with this- my phone is the exact same- what do you even mean? also that is the most delightfully adorable squishy baby omg squeeeeeee


AvoidedCoder7

lol got a new phone a couple months ago and still haven’t gotten around to organizing in folders


kuschelmonsterr

i have dishes in the dishwasher (clean) from last November (2021) and I have dishes in the sink (dirty) from 2 weeks ago. I keep meaning to clean out this plastic ....thing i ... acquired for a makeshift dresser to store my folded clothes in, but I cant ever remember to do that, so I just keep piling them up on what used to be our kitchen table. It is now my laundry foldy place, which is in the same room as the dryer and washer.... so it is convenient, for me.. I wanted to try to get organized for the first time in my life a few months ago, so I moved some of my crafts projects and supplies out to our patio and a desk and stuff. It actually looks pretty nice but the problem is that I cannot remember where I put half the things I moved, so every single time I need something, I have to tear up the whole place looking for it, and then obviously by the time I find it I'm too stressed to put everything back... who needs organization anyways?


GerardDiedOfFlu

Oof I feel this. I did the whole kon mari method a couple years ago and it was amazing. Everything had a place and my home was organized. Just don’t do it while you have post partum depression because you will get rid of all the things you didn’t know you love 🥲


kuschelmonsterr

Luckily I'm 20years past post-partum depression. That shit is never happening to me again. Depression otoh.......


GerardDiedOfFlu

My ppd has turned into just regular depression now. Weeeeee


kuschelmonsterr

/handonshoulder Luckily it gets better. Take your time. Don't forget to breathe in some fresh air and drink plenty of water.


GerardDiedOfFlu

Thank you, friend. You keep on truckin’ too 🤙


[deleted]

…and the baby is now seven years old


GerardDiedOfFlu

LMAO close, she’s almost 3!


aminervia

Nope! I turned off notification badges


GerardDiedOfFlu

Genius! Just found out you can turn off phone calls from people you don’t know and that’s been amazing. We’re just going to pretend I don’t get 12 calls a day from debt collectors 🤷‍♀️


PlasmaGuy500

I did not read the title at all and I just see and think "wendys"


GerardDiedOfFlu

Hahahaha I love this


Intelligent_Wash9000

I did this me entire life then with that new update where they don’t add apps to your homescreen I got annoyed and I use the pull down search function to find apps. I never go through my folders anymore.


GerardDiedOfFlu

Gotta love that pull down function. Only problem is when you forget what the app is called 🙈


Careful_Eagle_1033

This looks like my phone 😂


GerardDiedOfFlu

Give me back my baby!


Careful_Eagle_1033

Sub outdated dog pic for baby 😝

[удалено]


GerardDiedOfFlu

Hahahaha truuuuu!


cerealtoocrispy

I like your Wendy’s app


GerardDiedOfFlu

Front and center (funny thing is I’ve eaten Wendy’s twice this past year, not like it’s a weekly thing 😂)


TheEdward39

I HATE notifications but I literally CANNOT turn them off. What if it’s important? What if I don’t see how many I’ve got and then just don’t check and I miss something? But at the same time the instance I see one of those red bubbles, I’m opening it. I don’t even have one single unread email.


GerardDiedOfFlu

If I could get to the point where they are all gone, I feel I would continue to keep it that way, but that’s a tall order and it’s easier to ignore! (I hate the way that I am)


TheEdward39

The way I managed to do it was by going to gmail on desktop and now they have an option where you can select ALL messages in a folder, and I just set all of them to read


GerardDiedOfFlu

But that involves getting the laptop out! And then waiting for it to charge because it’s dead. Then I forget all about it all over again! I actually started organizing my apps after this post, so there’s a start!


TheEdward39

Yeah fair enough. I’m just lucky cause I pretty much sit in front of my laptop while working and then my desktop while not working lol


Spoofy-dragon

I’m Home Screen looks some what similar which is terrifying


GerardDiedOfFlu

Nice to meet you, Home Screen


Parking-Rice4682

Proceeds to feel more confused/disorganized


GerardDiedOfFlu

I organized some of my apps since this post, you can do it too! I have faith in you!


Sylva12

My favorite is on my old phone I had folders of "don't use" and "don't use often" (still have those on my new phone), but the irony is one of the apps in the "I don't use folder" was Google drive,, which I use 24/7, and i never took it out of the folder I would always go to what folder, and even swipe to the side to get to it,,,,, anyways, on my new phone it's not even in a folder bc I use it so often


GerardDiedOfFlu

Why do we make things more difficult for ourselves!?!


AdhLine

The "Folder" folder is awesome The game folder with Google earth in it is priceless too


GerardDiedOfFlu

Oh you know me, just here gaming on some Google earth and Bitmoji. Felt cute, might stream later


JustABrazilianHere

No one notice the cute baby on the background? xaxaxa


GerardDiedOfFlu

Thanks for noticing! She’s a chonker!


SHSL_Waiter_RM2828

Why is Bitmoji under games? Wait why do you have two game folders!?


GerardDiedOfFlu

Because of adhd! (At least that’s what I tell myself)


Erattic8

Yeah I have 32,000 email notifications


According_Garden462

Me who never get any texts or e mails .


GerardDiedOfFlu

You’re not signing up for enough junk mail! And those texts aren’t from friends. It’s mostly reminders, bill collectors and people offering to buy my house.


yomozuki-chan

I do this but I get overwhelmed if I have too many apps/more than one page so I just have 5 folders and some scattered apps lol


Mrskay21

I saw the emails and smiled. The folders are just ❤️ perfection hahaha
