I made Chunkadoo for me, but you might like it too.

A few years ago, I was driving my 15 year-old daughter from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham one day when she quietly (and in a serious tone) asked, "Dad, can I be really honest and tell you something?"

I played it cool... on the outside. But inside, there was immediate panic. What was she about to say?! Is she about to tell me she was pregnant? Did somebody hurt her (and therefore I was about to go to prison for murder)? Did she finally get the tattoo she’s been talking about since she was 12... without me?!

As nonchalantly as possible, I replied, "Of course, darlin’... what’s going on?"

She then took a deep breath and said, "You know how you sometimes joke about how you think you might have a little ADHD?" There was a whew-she’s-not-pregnant-pause. "You’re like the poster child for adult ADHD. Maybe some other neurodivergencies, too. Who knows? But you definitely have ADHD, Dad."

Fast forward to a few months later, when I was feeling really overwhelmed and the mental to-do list was overflowing again. I was drowning.

Like any normal person, I tried writing down a to-do list. Little help. I downloaded at least 3 different task manager apps. Nope. Nah. Ugh. Even the ones that said they were for ADHD folks just felt like traditional productivity apps dressed up in different costumes.

So, I decided to build one that worked with my kinda daughter-diagnosed ADHD gray matter.

If you use it for a while and you’ve got ideas on how I could make it better, email me at hello@chunkadoo.com.
