Yay

Now what was I going to make ...last Tuesday?

Yy! \o/

Mint is a good recommendation. I've used it for most of a decade because I just want my system to work.

wntd t rspnd prprly bt my vwl sbscrptn xprd. Ds nyn hv $5?

Right? Like someone is going to put a chair or bench in a public space like a park. Ha! Call it a "park bench" or something... and let people sit on it for free?? Ludicrous! It'll never happen! /s

That'll be £1.00 for reading this response. Please advise where to send the invoice.

Nobody is both that bored and that motivated. Unless paid.

Fortunately they can write up 3 Rx and then send to the pharmacy every month until my next appt.

Of course my pharmacy can't get the stuff due to the shortage so I have been without for 2wks now. It's a process to have the Rx sent over to a different pharmacy. Easy for someone normal. But ADHD without meds? Yeah.

Work is stupid. We should be working 20 hours weeks and fucking around the rest of the time. Everyone would be so much happier.

Or maybe everyone with ADHD (and, this, 80 gagillion hobbies)

Hm. I have one vacation day left after being sick. Won't get more until next week. Work 10 hour days 4 days a week and the too exhausted to relax most of the remaining 3.

What if... Hear me out... What if I were to be, idk, run over by a bus and hospitalized for a month? /s

🧠 -- haha get fukt

My takeaways...

Keep an ideas journal. Write down your project ideas. Let yourself go wild on paper. Sometimes getting the creativity out on paper "scratches the itch" and you no longer need to actually start the project

We sometimes take on new hobbies and projects for a purpose other than conventional completion. And that's perfectly ok. We might want to get a sense of what it is like, or achieve some level of recognition, or gain proficiency but not expertise.

For example, I used to do autocross racing and after a couple years I won a podium finish and a trophy in a local race and I felt like "ok cool good enough" and the interest waned.

It is still important to be able to learn how to accomplish goals, though. Because it feels good and builds some self esteem and gives us a chance to learn how to plan better, and improve our ability to stick to something, even if only a little.

I've had to recognize that I have to significantly pare down what I work on, and be choosy about which projects to actually commit to. That's why the ideas journal helps me.

I know I don't have to start everything, won't forget anything, but be able to recognize those projects of greatest interest that I keep thinking about long term. Those are the ones I am going to be able to finish.

Which is why the heavily moderated menslib sub on Reddit was so great, because they didn't put up with that BS.
