If I can’t bring myself to get around to an important task, such as filing a tax thing or making a doctor’s appointment, I invoke my nuclear option: I give my best friend three hundred dollars in cash and tell her to spend it if I don’t prove to her that I’ve done the thing by a certain date and time....

Then promptly get distracted and don’t finish

There are lots of articles on the internet always trying to make ADHD into something that is gained through internet addictions than something that a person is born with. I keep hearing, “TikTok is making kids have short attention spans/ADHD” or “I have ADHD now because I scroll through Instagram for hours” and etc. The...

POOF!...

I’m only on day 2, but I feel so able to concentrate, it’s ridiculous. I know it’s expected to take weeks to start working, but I’m feeling it already. I spent the morning reading wikipedia, catching up with work, and doing laundry that I hadn’t done for weeks. Now, I’m gonna go out to eat at a restaurant with a...

Love that I have to call a bunch of pharmacies in the area waiting for several minutes just to check if my prescribed drug is available....

For those of you in the US, how's the Adderall shortage going? I'm going to ask my psych to switch over to it because my insurance is driving the price of Focalin through the roof. I want to get an idea if its even feasible right now.

So I usually do oil changes on multiple cars for friends etc, it’s quicker to bang them out all at once....

Today I had a work call with a colleague who has been mentoring me for a few months now (nothing serious, just someone to ask now and then if I need advice).

I just had my first ever meeting with a psychiatrist to get diagnosed with ADHD....

Designate a place in every room as, “the place I put things.” Use positive reinforcement to train yourself to put things down in that space. Every time you use a drop zone, give yourself an attaboy/girl. It needs to be big enough that it can hold a few things, keys wallet, cell phone, but not so large that things can get...

Opened a warranty request for a pair of wireless earbuds that started acting up. Despite having seen reports from other users with the same issue successfully getting replacements I just couldn’t do it. Today I finally did the thing.

Then you try to charade what they look like, then your coworker starts going down a list of other coworkers names and you’re like “Honey, I don’t know anyone’s name, not even yours. Except of Charley from accounting, he as the same name as my nephew, he also kinda looks like him, but as a grown ass man. Then you wonder...

I realize that this turned into a wall of text. See TLDR....

Half a year ago I stumbled upon two notetaking tools of which one improved my life’s quality, so I thought I share my experience with the community. I’m not sponsored by either of these projects....
