With my ADHD, the first 3-5 minutes in a conversation with a new person, I have some sort of attention. In these 3 -5 minutes, I used their names in the conversion a bunch of times.
"That's interesting, Frank. What does Heather think?
I find this helps me remember their names better.
I use ChatGPT to recheck my emails.
I do this. I already started the conversation in my head and then started talking to my wife in mid-mind conversation. She's always confused.
I enjoy driving but I really enjoy riding my motorcycle. All my senses are firing and make me feel alive.
The worst is when I'm hyper focused and my son needs to eat or is late for school and I can't defocus.
My wife admitted that she has been throwing out my old raggedy clothes for years before I noticed. Probably for the better.
It's hard. I also took this job. Finished it and it was well below average.
Smart watch with constant reminders. I basically sleep day and night with mine. Can't function without it.
I intentionally don't do TikTok for this reason. I would literally get nothing done. I do watch tech videos on the side while working. Then YouTube started pushing shorts aggressively and I caught myself scrolling shorts for 2 hours and did zero work.
As someone who created his own pfsense router on top of a proxmox VM and know zero about networking, I feel personally attacked.
For those who want to read more about it, I did the work and found the article.

A woman in eastern China had the shock of her life when she found out that her son was marrying her long-lost daughter. The reunion occurred right at the would-be spouses' wedding in Suzhou, Jiangsu province on March 31, according to Sohu News. The shocking discovery was made after the woman noticed a birthmark on the bride's hand, which looked strikingly similar to that of her long-lost child. Determined to uncover the truth, the woman mustered the courage to ask the bride's parents whether she was adopted. After explaining her story and the identical birthmark, the bride's parents eventually confirmed that their child had been adopted. Details were quickly ironed out and the bride confirmed that she was, indeed, the woman's long-lost biological daughter. It turns out she went missing as a child and was picked up by her adoptive parents on the roadside some 20 years ago. The wedding could have been called off at this point, but the woman also revealed that her son — her now-daughter's groom — was also adopted. The wedding proceeded as planned, but the shocking twist is one detour their guests will never forget. In photos that went viral on Chinese social media, the bride can be seen breaking down and hugging her long-lost mother tightly. It's unknown how exactly the daughter went missing, but some are raising the possibility of human traffickers being the culprit. It's also unclear whether the woman's adopted son — now her son-in-law — will be searching for his own parents.
