Does anybody with AS have a particular time management/project management/productivity method that works for them?

I've been looking at the Pomodoro technique, and recently the GTD method. I also have multiple Ipad apps (e.g. Priority Matrix, To Do), but have yet to settle for one or find a technique that is a perfect match for me.

I found the Pomodoro technique was great for some things (e.g. taking breaks when reading and writing), but not so much for larger scale things (e.g. managing which books to read and when, setting schedules for long-term goals). I'm starting to look now at GTD and my initial impression is that it's complicated, though I still need to learn more about it.

I'd be very interested to hear what other people with AS do to improve productivity. I guess difficulties with Executive Dysfunction may make this an important topic for other Aspies too....

I've tried techno and tools, but I find that nothing is really flexible or user friendly enough. I put really important things in my phone's calendar, and I write general things I would like to get done sometime on a piece of paper on my wall. Everything else is a free for all.

Sorry, this isn't very helpful.

I take breaks too and I'd be lost without my to-do list.

Hmm, can't really think of anything else.

A reward system? Do this now and you can have a nice chocolate cookie. It works for me.
