Hi 26, nearly 27 year old with a recent (1.5year) ADHD diagnosis and I'm college. This is admittedly more of a rant regarding others with memory and focus issues who relied on this feature every single day of their life since they came across it...
Like others I see here I used Family Bells 24/7 after it was highly recommended by my therapist especially after I told her I have a nest (after her recommendation I even went out and "invested" in an additional units to spread out around our apartment). Since it's disconnect my life has been an absolute hell! The ability to have a set alarm at a given time is one thing. Having a pre-made interactive routine at scheduled time with all the steps I need to do communicated to me, and the alarm reminds me about each step untill I FULLY complete said routine, is another...
Here in Canada the end of Feb this service shut down. I'll use day 5 (yesterday) without it to explain... I disconnected from my school work late, meaning I went to bed 2hrs late because of that, didn't pick out what to wear the next day, definitely forgot something as simple as "brush teeth" and I'm sure there's other things I'm forgetting about right now. This morning I had all the wrong books, my assignment was still on my printer (at home) and my ability to focus was out the window cause I was panicking about "what else did I forget to do, what if tomorrow's the same!"
I've had some tell me simply write my routine down... Having something that will remind me to keep coming back to it for my next step and (key point) keep my attention on the task was a game changer. Having a list in another room that doesn't remind me I'm doing something, or my phone which goes off because someone liked something I sent them... Now I'm distracted and going down the rabbit hole...
I SERIOUSLY want this feature back!!!!! It was literally the only this that has kept my life on track!
