Having a list of calendar items showing was good, but I couldn’t tell if they were an appointment (just me) or a meeting with other people. This is important because sometimes it’s easy to get hyperfocused and lose all track of time.

As the day goes on, you see more of the background, kind of like a ‘light at the end of the tunnel’.Īnother tweak was to have the app automatically refresh every 5 minutes so that any changes are updated without me having to worry about remembering to refresh.Īdditionally, I thought it important to put a large clock front and centre so that at a glance I could see where I was in the day. One small tweak was the addition of the Bing image of the day as the canvas background. However, you don’t need to have ADHD to benefit from them. Since the initial build of the app I’ve been working with Power Apps a lot more and have been comfortable enough to experiment and make some adjustments to the app.Īs I have ADHD, these adjustments were designed to go beyond giving me a clear view of my day, but also a clear view of right now. The original app showed my agenda for the day as well as any tasks due the day and any update / refresh needed to be done manually. Back then I simply couldn’t get my head around Power Apps sufficiently to build it myself. Just over a year ago I blogged about a Power App I had built that consolidated my calendar and tasks in the one view for improved at-a-glance visibility of what I had coming up for the day.įull credit where credit is due: when I say “I had built” – I mean fellow Microsoft MVP Rene Modery built for me and I made some minor adjustments.
