My limitless desire for information always gets hindered by my very limited memory.
There’s nothing like the ADHD experience of going to google something and immediately forgetting what you were going to search so you have to look through your recent apps to find whatever triggered the thought, but then get distracted in the apps, then just rinse and repeat.😩

One trick I use for that is to say it out loud, so I can access it in my echoic memory. Echoic memory doesn’t last very long, but sometimes long enough!

I feel you, but the rest of the office be like
You could try something like Obsidian to use as a second brain for storing information for later reference.
This what I use! I’ve been using Obsidian for years now! There is something really nice about taking notes on a book and then always having those notes available. It’s even better for school since a lot of stuff is repeatedly covered in classes.
As much as I’d love to get into obsidian, it being non-open source and having a restrictive license makes it unavailable for me. I would love to use it to keep track of information for work but the license prohibits that without a subscription.
Logseq might be more up your alley then. I don’t think it has a license like Obsidian does.
I tried that one but I just couldn’t get used to it due to its bullet point nature
still wishing for a FOS alternative that’s just as good : (
I got ya. Try Anytype (https://anytype.io/).
(not affiliated, just a fan)
What’s the difference between Logseq and Anytype? And how do both compare to Joplin?
So far I have been using Logseq and find it good but a little too complicated and somehow bland.

I use joplin and like it. Before I used Google keep but wanted something non Google. There are a ton of features that are not for my use case but they don’t get in the way of the core functionality of taking notes and making todo lists

I back it up to Dropbox and it syncs from there to my other devices. So I guess free tier unless you consider that self host. I don’t see any features hidden behind a paywall though

Been using it for years but now trapped in a constant state of trying to improve the organization. Every time I think I’ve got it structured logically, I find some way I could have done better.
I’ve been doing tags on files in a single folder. Ever note in the same folder. Notes get catagory tags. Doesnt match a catagory? New catagory. Its very simple and doesnt side track me with organisation as much

You’re coming across as if you’re saying that all anyone with ADHD has to do is try harder and their symptoms will be gone.
I would like to imagine that you’re actually trying to say that there are strategies that can help with improving the symptoms of ADHD and that finding and doing ones best to employ these strategies is more productive than just complaining about these symptoms.
Unfortunately though, ADHD is a chronic neurodevelopmental condition which is characterised by its associated symptoms. These symptoms will never disappear as a result of ‘trying harder’. If that were the case then the diagnosis of ADHD wouldn’t exist.
Simply telling someone with ADHD to put more effort in is insulting and can be quite hurtful.
It is also unhelpful to single out those who might be awaiting diagnosis as ‘self-diagnosed twats’. Since you were quite young when you were diagnosed it’s understandable that you likely do not know what it’s like to go through the diagnostic process as an adult. The constant self doubt and imposter syndrome that nags away at you while at the same time you know that the symptom list reads like a brutally honest biography. Having others look down on you just because you haven’t yet received the diagnosis yet is very hurtful, unfair, and unnecessary.
