My #1 app is myNoise.com. Without 30 minutes of noise-assisted chill after a work day, I'd be an overwhelmed wreck at home.

The problem with apps is they put my phone in front of my face, opening up FAR too many options for distraction.
Honestly, a bullet journal was a game changer for me. the fancy ribboned, decorated, instagram-ready craziness people make pictures of, but the basic system created by a person with ADHD for their own of index, monthly calendar with not more than two habit trackers, daily task list, future (more than a month), and a new spread (page) for whatever random thing I need when I need it.
The right notebook makes is a LOT easier. My Leuchtturm1917 A6 lives in my right pocket, with a pen twisted in the elastic. Prenumbered pages, preprinted index, good paper when my fountain pen habit surfaces, and no distractions.
Most of the websites about it are so into beautifying it that the system gets lost, so if it sounds useful try this: https://libgen.is/search.php?req=Bullet+journal&lg_topic=libgen&open=0&view=simple&res=25&phrase=1&column=
The useful information is in parts 2 and 4 - the rest is motivation and fluff.
I use color note for a to do list,reminder page and shopping lists. It's just a note pad of lists. a calendar, phone alarms and a spin the wheel app. I use the spin the wheel on my days off.One for house chores and one with things I like to do. I do one chore then one fun thing. I can also hide the stuff I complete (on the wheels) until everything gets done. I guess I am trying to make boring tasks into a game so they get done and I get a reward spin for completing the boring task. None of the reward tasks are huge, they basically give me small increments of free time to do something I like to do. Then repeat until the boring tasks are completed.
