Websites

goblin.tools – This website is created to assist neurodivergent people with things they find overwhelming or difficult, using AI. It has a few incredible tools/sections:

• “Magic to do” (task breakdown): You type in what task you need to do (e.g. “I need to do the dishes” or “I need to go grocery shopping”). You can select a level of ‘spiciness’ from 1-5 spicies, depending on how much you need the task broken down for you. Then press Enter and click the magic wand button next to the ‘task’ it creates for you. It will create a list of tasks, each of which you can go to the right of and estimate a time for, edit, add a subtask, or remove.
• “Formalizer: Write what you want to say and it’ll turn your words into a more professional text. Again, you can select a level of “spiciness” for the level of professionalism you want it to take it to.
• “Judge” (Tone Assessor): You can type in text that someone else has written or that you’ve written, and it will analyze it for you. This can be very helpful if you’re not sure what someone is trying to say with their tone, or if you’re not sure if your tone will be misunderstood.
• “Estimator”: Type in a task you need to complete and it’ll give you an estimate of how long that task should take, on average.
• “Compiler”: Write a brain dump, and it will turn it into a list of tasks that can then be sent to “Magic to do.”
• “The Chef”: Write down the ingredients you have available. You can also write down serving sizes, time constraints, available tools, dietary restrictions, etc. You can send the result of your recipe to “Magic to do” to break it down.

Workbooks & Journals

There are endless journaling methods, but here are some common ones. So if you need help getting started, look through this list and see if any of them inspire you.

• Stream of Consciousness Journaling involves writing continuously for a set period of time without pausing or editing yourself along the way. You may want to set a timer on your phone. The goal of this type of journaling is to let your thoughts flow without judging or censoring yourself. This method can be beneficial in identifying thought patterns and gaining insight.
• Gratitude Journaling involves writing down things you’re grateful for. It can help you shift your focus away from negative thoughts and cultivate a more positive outlook. It can also help you develop a deeper appreciation for the people, things, and experiences in your daily life.
• Art Journaling combines writing and art. Art journaling can include drawings, paintings, collages, or any other art form. It can benefit people who have difficulty expressing themselves through words alone.
• Bullet Journaling is an organizational method that describes how a journal is set up. Bullet journals have dots on a grid on the paper, and bullet journaling uses symbols and notes within the dot framework to keep track of tasks, goals, and ideas. Often, bullet journals include daily reflections and habit tracking. Bullet journaling is popular for its aesthetics, flexibility, and adaptability to an individual’s needs.
• Prompt-based Journaling involves using specific questions or prompts to guide your writing. It benefits those who feel stuck or unsure of what to write about. Prompts can be related to specific themes or topics (e.g., mental health, relationships, personal growth, creativity, etc.).
• Reflective Journaling involves thinking about past experiences and what you’ve learned or gained from them. It can be especially helpful in processing difficult emotions and experiences, and in identifying patterns and areas for growth.
