I'm looking for some software that sends me reminders on my PC, as I find myself often forgetting things or getting too distracted. Any suggestions? (feddit.online)

Hey all,

Last year I was diagnosed with ADHD, and while I've been making a habit of keeping medicated, I still find myself at times getting too distracted to keep me from getting important stuff done. The most infuriating thing I'm currently dealing with is my troubles in creating a consistent sleep schedule, where I have a sleep schedule that works set out, but find myself getting too distracted and staying up unreasonably late as a result.

Unfortunately I had to swap to Windows recently, so looking for suggestions that can run on Windows 10. The harder to ignore, the better. Thanks in advance!

windows has a built in task scheduler. it is like cron on linux, but with a complicated GUI instead. you can use it to start batch scrips to remind you. end them with pause to keep the window open
