Focus Portals.
Do you have trouble getting started on something you know you can do? Autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergence can make preparation the hardest part. Forcing ourselves to use a traditional planner often takes more effort than it saves.
In contrast, the Focus Portals kit uses stickers, magnets, and dry erase notes as a comforting and satisfying lifeline for getting unstuck. In addition to the full-color images that come with the kit, you can mix in your own sticker/magnet collection to include your favorite characters and settings.
I used my personal and professional experience to break through my own procrastination, finding that "I'll just choose a couple stickers and then I can take a break" often turned into "Well, since I'm here anyway the rest of the task suddenly feels simple." Pictures of friendly characters had a surprisingly powerful body doubling effect.
I have worked with other neurodivergent testers in identifying other essential "unsticking" tools, such as:
-Prewritten suggestions for when you aren't sure how to start or continue
-A binder ring that clips to the tray for keeping materials effortlessly organized
-A sheet of personalizable coping strategies to shift to if planning becomes overwhelming
