      Woah woah woah, cut yourself some slack! Every 2 weeks?? Nah, once a month. 9AM? Give yourself time to wake up and think clearly! 10AM or 11AM if you’re not a morning person

            Hehe. Yeah, I’ve been diagnosed with adhd. All of the reminders and notes and reminders for reminders are to help me manage it. But I’m open to more suggestions from others for better ways.

              IDK if this is helpful for you, but for myself, as long as I get one thing on my to-do list done, I consider that day a win, and I try not to be too hard on myself for letting things slip. It’s really easy for me to get overwhelmed by the sheer amount of things on my list, but by just taking things one at a time, I know I’ll slowly get through it.

              On a tangential note, care to share your pickled pepper recipe?

              Good that you got that diagnose and know what you’re dealing with. I’m probably the wrong one to talk to about this and you probably know the following already, but just to make sure: apparently medication can hugely help. There are different agents so it might take a while to find the right one and its dose. So if you want to, it won’t hurt to talk to a neurologist or psychiatrist about this.

      Try staggering those start days and times. A flood of reminders is easier to ignore than if they were spread out across the two weeks and the time is set to when you are most likely to be ready to act.

    This genuinely has been me for like the past 2 months. I need a new job but can’t find the motivation to start looking & applying for any.

    sometimes, I think about how smug I’m going to feel later when I think about needing to do the task and realize I’ve already done it.

    I like to say that past-me harasses present-day-me with lots of shit to do. Luckily, future-me has a lot more free time and drive. He’ll take care of it.

      If you stick with it, manage resources effectively, and don’t give in, you can go 6 months without washing your dishes.
