That moment where you get a book idea so strong you have to stop editing your current project. Carried by the muse, you go do some ROUGH introductory research and plotting for the idea. Then, and only then, can you go back to your original task.

#AmWriting #ADHDproblems

Trying to shift into work mode, with no success so far.

Not even work-work. Fun-work.

Hi my #ADHD friends. If you’re like me, you probably have a list of things that you *must* do eventually, but you will probably *never* do, because it has fallen into the abyss of Too Much Effort To Do Right Now But Not Urgent Enough To Make Time For It Today.

Do yourself a favor: pick one item from that list, and do it today. Make that call. Send that email. Fill in that form. Clean out that thing. You’ll feel so much better after you do it.

Today, I called my vet and scheduled my dog’s next routine checkup appointment.

You can do it!

I've been failing to get into writing weeknotes for some time now, so I was interested when our content lead mentioned we (@MadeTech@twitter.com) were going to make a blogpost about weeknotes.

My submission is, however, a beautiful example of #ADHDProblems 😅 https://www.madetech.com/blog/week-23-notes/

So I put frozen bread in the oven for defrosting...
And I forgot about it!

😭😭😭😭😭

#ADHDProblems
Can't decide what to eat, so you get a left over piece of pizza. When putting the box back in the fridge, you knock out a container of blueberries. You put the pizza on a stool while you clean up the blueberries. You get them all and put everything back. You walk away until an hour later you remember your half eaten pizza, still waiting for you on the stool.

Okay #ADHD people what #ADHDproductivity tips do you have for me?

I'm not looking for a solution that's going to change my life. I have accepted that eventually all apps, organizational systems, etc., etc. will all lose their effectiveness, but I would love to know what's working for you RIGHT NOW whether it's an app, a planner, a routine or ...

I'm going back to using the #ForestApp because it's been long enough I think it will work for a bit. I always grow to resent it though. #ADHDproblems

I need to get back into making typefaces and designing self directed projects. I need to update my portfolio. I need to learn how to market the stuff I do have available (new album 3 weeks ago? Old fucking news). I need to learn how to turn the easily abandonable slog into a reliable dopamine factory and move my career ahead a bit. Which career? I dunno, but one of 'em for fucks sake.

I need to cut tags from gear.

I need to get some sleep but I'm obviously not doing that either #ADHDproblems

I miss my gloves. I remember I put them somewhere they would be visible, however that place was not where they belonged. One day I will find them, serendipitously. #ADHDproblems

If you ever need to explain to someone in IT how #ADHD meds work on your brain, try this:

My brain without meds works like a Linux system with every process running in Ring 0, possibly reacting to every SIG, spawning and intermittently doing busy-wait on all cores.
And yes, /dev/random shares memory with /dev/audio.

ADHD meds are a Hypervisor.

"You got a minute?"

With that question alone, even if I reply "No.", you've broken my concentration, and before I find it again, I either have to focus on you and your problem, and then re-focus on my task.
Or fight the feeling of guilt for refusing to help you until I have freed mental capacity to continue my work.
That is, if I even remember what I was working on before. Chances are I have to look for clues around me what it was, and not get distracted.

Either way, that "minute" will "cost" me at least 15 minutes, depending on my mental state.

But yes, I got a minute, how can I help you?

I have been having a terrible time convincing my brain to cook recently, to the point where I have been eating out WAY too much. Any suggestions about low effort but relatively wholesome things that you just throw together when you can't seem to make yourself cook? #adhdProblems

I’ve managed to do like a bajillion tax return related tasks BEFORE I took my meds.

Do I get an award now? Please give me an award to recognise this massive achievement.

K thank you bye.

#adhdproblems

Welp…

I’ve lost my water bottle and my tamagotchi. I don’t think it’s supposed to work this way.
