  1. It's probably a first world problem, but I absolutely hate looking for instructions on how to do something and only finding ones on videos rather than a written version. The reasons:
    1. I have to stop listening to music
    2. I have to rewatch it several times to understand the instruction, my brain doesn't do auditory data input much
    3. It ends up taking much more time than it would have if I was to read one or two sentences, because the video often has an intro, "please like my video", "click to subscribe" and whatnot, and these take twice more time than explaining how to do that one thing I'm looking for. It's infuriating and will definitely not make me like the video and subscribe.
    4. Some people just have annoying voices, not their fault, but it happens often.

    Having said all that I'm actually grateful that there are instructions for things online and that people care to make them.

  2. Lately I have developed a habit where I decide I want a soda, pick up a can, carry it with me to wherever I am about to establish my nest for the evening, put it down and then forget it completely.
    Usually I do this a couple of times in an evening, moving the unopened can to the next spot with my armload of junk that I need with me everywhere I go in the house, which now apparently includes an emotional support root beer. #adhdThings

  3. Restarting a song 100 times because you forgot to listen to it. #ADHDthings

  4. @failedLyndonLaRouchite If this is about me, it’s because I was researching what you said and forgot my original post was still up! #ADHDthings

    Thanks again!

  5. I recently found out that I do this thing where if I work on a certain type of visualization, I will tailor my entire media consumption around that project.

    Doing an archaeological visualization? I guess I'll be watching Indiana Jones, various documentaries and listen to history podcasts and read NatGeo.

    Doing a winter scene? Guess I'll watch The Terror (season 1) and listen to arctic mystery podcasts.

    1920s style illustration? Historical crime podcasts and Peaky Blinders.

  6. So today I learned that my head is still completely chaotic. What I'm writing is so dense in information and goes in so many directions I doubt anyone would have a good time trying to decipher the feedback I'm trying to give 😭

  7. "This is impossible. I cannot do this. It's going to take me ages and I might not be able to do it at all. I'm an imposter. My life and career are basically over."

    *20 minutes later*

    "Done… This wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be."

  8. I have to take Troy to the vet this afternoon, and so I have some very little this morning and will continue to not be able to do anything until that’s done

  9. Me finding out the name of the pictured thingamabob.
    I believe it’s
    Tragjoch in German
    Milkmaid’s yoke in English
    niskakorento in Finnish
    ????? in Swedish

    I used to have one of these things. It was exactly like the one in the picture. I found mine in an abandoned farm house when I was maybe six years old.

    The pictured character is German Hummel Hummel Mors Mors, but in this picture he is uncharacteristically using Finnish type “niskakorento” because the picture is drawn by Finnish artist Touko Laaksonen aka Tom of Finland.

    If any native Swedish speaker reads this, please let me know what do you call this thing.

  10. @redscroll yeah, I've been keeping a tab open on their page for the longest time (#ADHDThings)
    I was planning on using #Codeberg for #OSS projects I have in mind. They come highly recommended from what I've seen.

  11. Was supposed to do *one* urgent thing today. I managed to do four other urgent things, but not the one I had set out to do 🙃 .

  12. At this point I wonder if I would even like tea when it's not over steeped and lukewarm? 🤔

  13. Watching a movie to see if it’s the one I was thinking of, because of a random memory. So of course I’ve been on my phone not paying too much attention 🤣

  14. My notion pages are now SO well done.
    House is still in shambles but hey check out how I can autogenerate tasks from a meeting agenda, and how it all synchronizes to my calendar.

    So nice. #ADHDThings

  15. I need to either finish the inks on this piece or put it down for the day and switch to video games and the fact I have to make a choice seems to have completely jammed up my brain. #ADHDthings

  16. Sometimes I look at a reply to a post of mine and say to myself "No spoons to reply, I'll do it later" but then I forget. I've done this accross all social media I've ever used. Same goes for texting, I'll forgot to reply to those for days too.
    So if I don't reply to you, chances are I wanted to but forgot. #ADHDThings
