The Digital Junk Drawer: ADHD and 20,000 Unread Emails
You know it's in there.
Somewhere.
Twenty thousand unread emails, a downloads folder you stopped opening in 2019, four apps that all do the same thing, and a photo library so big your phone is begging for more storage. Nothing is technically lost, which is exactly the problem — you can't see the pile, so you never know how bad it is or whether you're making progress.
When you have ADHD, the digital overwhelm becomes very real. It's just you at 11pm, hunting for a file you know you saved, under a name you can no longer remember.
Let’s learn why digital clutter hits ADHD brains harder than anyone gives it credit for, and what it's quietly costing you.
We'll get into:

  • Why email is so challenging
  • Files and downloads — everything's saved, nothing's findable
  • Photos — thousands of them, and the ones that matter are buried
  • Apps and tabs & bookmarks, oh my!
  • Subscriptions — what you're paying for and (oops) forgot about
  • And some ideas on what to do about all of it

Perfect for solo adults with ADHD who are tired of the digital overwhelm.

Quick note: check your time zone! I'm in Denver, so currently I'm in Mountain Daylight Time. Meetup is supposed to put things into your time zone -- but it's not consistent. All my groups close 30 minutes prior to the start -if you have registered, check the comments after that for the link! If you missed it -- I do repeat these on a regular basis.
