I'm curious, what form do your thoughts take?

ADHD here. I personally have an internal monologue - I mostly think in words and I can "hear" my own voice "saying" the thoughts in my head. I often have multiple channels of thought at a time, not like external voices in my head but just my own thoughts overlapping and competing with each other. There is almost always a random tab in my mind playing music.

I can visualize images in my mind's eye as well. But I've heard that some people don't "hear" themselves thinking in their head and I'm curious what that experience is like! Please share :)

Do to-do lists actually help you?

Say you have some household tidying and personal admin tasks to do in a day. Are you able to make a to-do list and just start the tasks? Go from task to task (put away laundry, pay bills, respond to a text you got yesterday) without friction?

I have executive dysfunction, I get "stuck" before tasks a lot of the time and to-do lists are pretty useless to me. Writing the to-do list feels like a chore in itself and I expend too much energy considering the order in which to do things.
