Callback links: ADHD brain’s “Best Friend Forever”

Callbacks are among the most under-utilized tools for ADD non-techies like me.

I’ve been using specific Drafts actions to capture the notes that go with follow-up items.

A simple set-up

• Action items go to iOS Reminders — with callback links to the Drafts notes.
• Most callback links point to a Drafts note. Projects reside in Bear app.

Four weeks into the experiment, Future Tracy keeps track of follow-up items and actually does them.

Why? Because I’m baking clarity into action items.

My Future Self understands:

1. Why this follow-up is important
2. Where it fits in a specific sequence
3. How I get to my next action

The trick for me is to keep things simple. Nothing fancy. Just capture what I’m thinking and what I want to do — then send it forward to my Future Self.
