Keeping Track of Time - And Tasks

Q:

"Our ADHD daughter has difficulty judging how long a task takes and tries to do too many things in a day. She is balancing college classes, riding classes, barn chores, assignments and part-time work. Sometimes she forgets to eat regularly and reactive hypoglycemia makes concentration much more difficult. I saw an article online about a watch that can be programmed to prompt various activities but have lost the source information. Would this be a practical help, and do you know where I can find it?"

A:

Yes, this watch would be a great tool for your daughter - it's very effective and to my knowledge, is the only one of its kind. It's called the WatchMinder and has over 70 pre-programmed messages that include things like 'Pay Attention', 'Meds', 'Do HW', etc.

You can get it through the WatchMinder web site or at 1.800.961.0023.

    Keeping up with passwords
    I read that it is not safe to have the same password for all your internet and computer programs...email, online shopping websites, networking websites, blogs, forums, etc. It could be risky. But with ADHD, it's difficult to keep up with 50 different passwords and usernames. I hate to admit that I have about 3 that I use for almost everything. How dangerous is this? Am I really putting myself at risk?
