Abstract
After a long history of being viewed as a children's disorder, it is now recognized that Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can affect adults as well. Individuals with ADHD often exhibit work habits significantly different from neurotypical individuals. This paper investigates the use of time management tools among adults with ADHD with the goal of determining where there may be room for improvement in current digital tools so that they may better assist our target demographic. We present findings from a survey of adults with and without ADHD. Our findings indicate dissatisfaction among ADHD adults with the tools currently available to them and highlight key areas for potential development.
