"Waiting mode paralysis" is not a character flaw.
The brain perceives an upcoming event as an active threat to current focus. Break the loop. Anchor attention to an immediate physical task.

"Waiting mode" is real.
Before a 2 PM appointment, your brain runs a background app called "Don't Forget" all morning. This process drains your working memory. Task paralysis takes over.
You aren't lazy. Your executive function is simply fully booked. #waitingmode

I've been preparing for a meeting, supposed to happen this evening. I have to share some bad news that will probably not be popular. Lots of spreadsheets and calculations.
This morning two of the three people who are supposed to attend told me they "have something else on" so we're meeting on Wednesday evening instead.
I will NOT let this dominate all the time until Wednesday evening.
I will NOT spend all the time mentally rehearsing my arguments and fine tuning the spreadsheets.
I will NOT have imaginary arguments with these people telling them how unimpressed I am with them.
I will do OTHER STUFF.
I might even WRITE and DRAW.

Tooting for a friend: New episodes drop on TUESDAYS and FRIDAYS now. So your 'Waiting Mode' can start a little earlier. What's the most irrational thing that has ever put you in #WaitingMode? We need to know.

Tooting for a friend: The dread is just building, so mentally I'm stunted completely. The smallest commitments steal my entire day. What is the most irrational thing that has ever put you in #WaitingMode?

Entering Wait Mode for Mam's phone call. * Deflating party sounds*
Though my internal systems seem to be entering the Feed Me Mode.So, do I watch more Start Trek:TNG or do I go & prep food & then get interrupted either prepping or eating?
I'll have a wander round whilst my brain comes up with something involving minimal effort that I can have for tea. Maybe The phone will be ringing by then... or I'll just watch another 45 minutes of Sci-Fi wilst stuffing some emergency crackers into the micro blackhole in my face.

Right, after waiting for 3 hours & a bit & being frelling hungry for the last half (it's 19:07 now) & I'm done waiting for the plumber to fix / look at the leak problem I've got.
Not happy & will probably fume in a bit.
First remove shoes & I can finally get changed into my loafing gear. That accomplished, I'm launching into my, "leave me the frell alone, unless you're on Mastodon or a critter of my imagination that's chill" mode. Oh, & stuffing my face with tea, micro-ready meal to the rescue!#Plumbers #LetDown #WaitingMode #Autistic #ADHD #AuDHD #ActuallyAutistic

Wait mode… Been in it for a little while, since getting back from doing my Friday things, art group & shopping.
Kept myself busy making & posting a card to whatsapp for an uncle since I got home. Been back nearly 2 hours & getting a tad annoyed now.
Waiting for plumber but not looking promising at 17:51.Reading about another SpaceTwat failure did cheer me up for a moment though 😏.

When you've been stuck in waiting mode all day because at 09:35 the plumber said he needs to get some parts ordered & will phone later & asked, "will you be invisible all day?"
The house water supply is fine, just a fix he did on the outdoor tap needs some fine-tuning.
It's 17:58 (8+Hrs of waiting) now & at some point in the last 25 minutes my internal Stress-o-meter switched on.
… Oh, hello phonophobia, didn't see you there. Good job I have his email.#ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #ADHD #WaitingMode #Tradespeople #NeedlessStress #Stress

Tried to spell "waiting mode", spelled "eating mode" instead and you know what? Valid.
I am fat, I eat, and munchies do get bad when in a mode. Only true words were spoken today.

Those with #ADHD sure know about #WaitingMode as well as the experience that you want to start doing one thing but end up doing another because it's a prerequisite of the thing you originally intended to do (is there a term for that? 🤔)
Now get ready for "prerequisite recursion waiting mode paralysis": You want to do something but need to do something else before. But that thing is inconvenient at the moment,so you put it off for as long as possible. However, that prevents you from anything else -

I've been up since 7 AM. I go to work today at 1 PM. I've been playing Skyrim. I'm trying to combat waiting mode with the video game. Then I feel guilty for playing a video game all day. #waitingmode

I've got an hour and a half and I could do laundry, nap, play Skyrim, but nope, just sitting on the couch.
