‘Adesso’ means ‘right now’; if you mean ‘today’, use ‘oggi’. Mixing the two can change the intended time frame.

Cultural Tip
In Italian the object pronoun always precedes the verb, even in compound tenses (e.g., ‘l’ho fatto’). Placing ‘oggi’ after the verb is neutral; moving it before the verb (e.g., ‘Oggi lo faccio’) adds a slight emphasis on the time frame. Be careful with gender: use ‘la’ for feminine objects (e.g., ‘La faccio oggi’).
