ADHD use case? Best practices?
Hey everyone! I just bought a Plaud Pin because my ADHD brain is starting to drop way too many little things at work and home. Between a mentally demanding job and studying for the CFP full time, I feel like my brain is running at max capacity 24/7.
I’m curious if anyone here uses Plaud almost like a “memory extension” for everyday conversations and random verbal tasks. For example, if my husband casually reminds me to do something tomorrow or mentions plans we made for 2 weeks from now or myy boss pops into my office and verbally runs through client updates, follow-ups, or “hey don’t forget we need to handle xyz”. These conversations happen quickly in passing, and if I don’t immediately write it down, it basically evaporates from my brain!
At work especially, I’m in a small 2-person wealth management office with ~190 households, and so much communication happens live instead of through email. I’m still learning the business, so every conversation requires a ton of mental processing already. The small details just don’t stick yet because everything is new and mentally exhausting. I’ve literally had to stop coworkers mid-conversation to go grab my notebook because I KNOW I’ll forget otherwise. Everyone jokes about it, but honestly it’s stressful and not a great feeling.
Has anyone successfully used Plaud in this way? Do you actually turn it on throughout the day for normal conversations? Has it helped reduce the mental load and constant fear of forgetting things? Would it be practical to just leave it on all day?
Any advice welcome! 🤗
