Automating ADHD With IOT: How I Used Robots as a Coping Mechanism

Have you ever had trouble focusing and accidentally spent the day researching an obscure topic only to realize it's 9pm and nothing on your to-do list got done today? ADHD makes it easy to hyper focus on fun things but hard to finish routine tasks. I got fed up with my brain and attempted to manage my ADHD with robots.

This talk follows my quest to automate away the easy things that seemed so hard to me. It will explore the cobbled together system of nfc tags and microcontrollers that remind me to do my chores, pay my bills, and eat lunch every day. Many attempts to do this failed and we will explore what worked, what didn't, and how users can try this at home.
