NO
To examine whether displaying instruction sheets in five locations at home increases daily to-do list submission over 60 days compared with storing the sheets without displaying them, and to explore the association between submission rate and change in everyday executive functioning.
Efficacy
Exploratory
Not applicable
Percentage of days on which a to-do list was submitted via the study Google Form during the 60-day period (number of days with a submission / 60 x 100), calculated at the end of the 60-day period and compared between groups.
1. Change in executive function scores on the Japanese version of the BRIEF-A self-report form, measured before and after the 60-day period.
2. Association between to-do list submission rate and change in BRIEF-A scores (exploratory analysis).

Intervention arm (with passive motivational cues): Five instruction sheets with a QR code are mailed to the participant and displayed in five visible locations at home. For 60 days, participants access a Google Form via the QR code at the start of each day and submit a to-do list containing the date and at least one task.
Control arm (without passive motivational cues): One instruction sheet with a QR code is mailed to the participant but is not displayed. For 60 days, participants submit a daily to-do list on their own initiative using the same Google Form as the intervention arm.

Male and Female
Participants who meet all of the following: (1) undergraduate or graduate students; (2) reported that at least one of the ADHD-related characteristics (difficulties in executive functioning) listed in the recruitment poster applies to them; (3) fully understood the purpose and procedures of the study and voluntarily consented to participate.
Participants who meet any of the following: (1) currently taking ADHD medication (e.g., Concerta, Strattera, Intuniv); (2) difficulty accessing the Google Form daily due to lack of a device or internet access; (3) diagnosed with and currently being treated for a serious psychiatric disorder (e.g., severe depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia) for which participation may pose a physical or psychological burden; (4) otherwise judged inappropriate by the principal investigator.
