I made a thing! And would love other people to try it!
I have adhd and pmdd. When I'm especially overwhelmed, I can fall into avoidant patterns/doomscroll, etc. Last year, I started dropping my to-do list into a bingo card (on paper), to gamify it and push me to get the much-needed dopamine hit from actually checking things off of my list. Turns out, most things I avoid for weeks only take 10-20 minutes.
It worked really well, and helped me give myself some compassion as I realized all of the things I'd put on myself weren't even possible to do in one day
I just turned it into a web app to make it easier/more fun to use for myself and wanted to share with you all. It's called TENGO, 10-minute task bingo.
You can play at tengo.today. Add your own to-do list or generate one!
On tough weeks, I drop in more self care tasks and aim for one completed row instead of as many tasks as possible.
Note: there is no way to save progress yet — sorry! Let me know if you have any feedback on how to make it better!!
And yes, I made this app when I was supposed to be focused on other things, like finding a new job, for example. 😅 Hope it helps!
