Hi all,
I've found myself overwhelmed lately with trying to keep track of
everything I need to do, and I have a hodge-podge collection of tools that
have sort of helped me keep things together. No productivity app seems to
have everything that I need, and I've been wondering how people with
disabilities approach this problem. I imagine those with cognitive vs
physical disabilities have pretty different systems that they've developed
for dealing with this. (Just trying to deal with OCD vs ADHD would require
vastly different approaches, for example)
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I could go to learn more or ask
around what sort of systems other people have developed for themselves?
Thanks in advance,
Jonathan

Jonathon,
You're not alone in this. I find myself obsessed with and constantly
tweaking and changing my productivity tools, and am never satisfied with
one. I find that using a combination of them (Remember the Milk, Trello,
Toggle are the ones I use, and then my clients have a huge variety of
others they foist upon me), and then using tools like Zapier or IFTTT to
integrate everything, even sometimes in a Google Sheet, exactly how I like
it, winds up working okay for me. Every month, I make an adjustments or a
change, and I find just the act of changing my process makes me a little
more productive for a few more weeks.
Good luck!

Hi Morissa,
I've been disappointed in the accessibility of the Trello sit and the Trello IOS app. Is there some accessible way to use a combination of tools that would make it workable to use Trello?
Thanks.
Jim

Jim:
Alternatively, if you have an Office 365 account, you might also have access to Planner. Planner is very similar to Trello. I'm unsure of how accessible it is, but it could be another option for you.
Hope that helps!
