Welcome back to ADHD-ish! I'm your host, Diann Wingert, and today we're delving into a powerful collection of tools specifically designed to support neurodivergent individuals—Goblin Tools.

Created by Belgian AI software and data engineer Bram de Buyser, these eight simple, single-task helpers can transform your daily routines.

From breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps with 'Magic To Do' to converting your communication styles with 'Formalizer,' each tool serves as an unpaid virtual assistant tailored to our unique brains.

We'll explore each of these tools, discuss their benefits, and also touch on their limitations. So buckle up, and let's dive into Goblin tools, and how each of them will boost your executive functions and productivity.

📌 Here are three of my favorite Goblin Tools:

1.Magic To-Do:

Breaks down complex tasks into manageable chunks.
Helps you get started, stay on track, and finish tasks you've been avoiding.

2.Formalizer:

Converts your text into various communication styles.
Includes options for tone and format, making it perfect for both serious and fun communications. Customize with up to 3 chilis to "add a little spice.”

3.Estimator:

Ideal for those with time blindness. You know who you are!
Estimates the time needed for tasks and integrates with your to-do list.
Pair it with the Energy Accounting Method from Episode #241 for best results!

There is no Magic Pill (perfect tool) for every single individual, Goblin Tools offers unique aids that can significantly improve executive functioning for most adults with ADHD traits .

Plus, they're continually evolving and totally free. Finding the right tools is all about trial and error, so give Goblin Tools a try. They might just become your new go-to virtual assistant.
