Frantically rushing to beat deadlines, staring at zero bank account balances due to impulsive spending sprees and falling down the rabbit hole of social media at the expense of being productive are some of the situations ADHDers find themselves in. In 2019, we can try to avoid some of these not so interesting conundrums using these handy apps.

1. Money Box

Money Box simplifies the 52 week savings plan by Kellie Murungi. The app lets you track your weekly savings, updates you on personal finance articles from her blog rookie manager and tailors reminders to deposit your savings based on your settings.
How does the 52 Week Challenge work?
The default-starting amount is 100 bob and each week you increase the amount you save by the initial amount meaning on week 2 you save 200, on week 3 you save 300 and so on. At week 52, you should have saved 137,800 bob. Not too shabby right?
You deposit your savings on your preferred platform whether it's M-Pesa, a savings account, a piggy bank, in a hole in the backyard...whatever floats your boat.
Available for Android.

2. Priority Matrix

What I love about this app is that it helps me see the bigger picture then break it down into smaller, manageable chunks. You come up with a project and select a template. The default is the Eisenhower Matrix, which is four quadrants that prioritize tasks in your project in order of urgency and lets you set the due dates for each item. You then track your productivity using filters and the master list that lets you view all your tasks. It great for keeping you in check with your short and long-term goals.
Available for MAC, Windows, iOS and Android.

3. Digital Detox

Smartphones are the Kryptonite of ADHD brains and Digital Detox is the antidote. When you need to focus, set the timer on the app and you are immediately locked out of your phone for a some time. Breaking the fast comes with a painful price of 200 bob. During your detox, you get 'grace periods' to access your phone for short intervals.
Available for iOS and Android.

4. Sleepo

What sets Sleepo apart from other relaxation apps I've used is its simplicity and the option to select different sounds and create a calming mix that will help put you to sleep by drowning out all the noise in your head. I also really like its aesthetic.
Available for iOS and Android.
