You're absolutely right, I've learned to stay away from productivity hacks online! I was working with a counselor which helped, but as most things go, it's hard to keep up with appointments. I'm a business owner and have two kids so I get busy and overwhelmed and self-care tends to take a hit.

Yeah I like that idea of taking out my pre-filled cards.

 

I came to a startling realization this morning while getting ready to start my day. I plan my day around various contingencies because I know that if I don't feel like doing a task, nothing will stop me from not doing it. It's like I live in fear of myself like I'm some sort of moody army general and I have to work around my own impulsiveness. I take adderall and that helps me to focus but most of my adhd problems are things that I'm not sure medicine will help. Has anyone successfully gotten at least a little handle on their productivity? How did you do it?

I'll also explain what made me come to this realization. I had the thought, "thank God I've been in mood to be frugal recently, I'm scared of when that feeling goes away and I start spending money on stupid shit again" So yeah, impulsivity is a problem ๐Ÿ˜…

Why can't you just unplug it? If you have to go to the socket anyway... maybe I don't understand because I've never lived with the convenience?

Yes, I recently created a Pixelfed account and I definitely balked at the "pick and instance" step. When I joined lemmy (using connect) it didn't ask me to pick an instance to create an account with and eased me into the idea of the fediverse. As a reddit refugee that only left because of morals, I absolutely felt like a fish out of water but I persisted. Others don't wish to persist with something confusing or different. One one hand, that's fine with me, I don't want to share a platform with people like that anyway. On the other hand, if it's not at least a little popular and easy to swallow for new users, growth will be impacted.

I'm a wedding photographer, a few months back I had a pooping dog behind a bride and groom and you better believe I took pictures! We all had a pretty good laugh about it especially because it was a private wedding venue and even the venue owners had no idea where the random dog came from but he just popped and disappeared lol

Hopped back into Octopath (the first one) after finishing Sea of Stars. It's a honker of a game haha I feel like it's going to take me a while.

That's how I always knew my period was about to start: diarrhea city.

[โ€“] polarpear11@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I would use that app.

I legitimately didn't know what the steam OS was, so thanks. I was very curious about something that has very little to do with my interests, but I like playing games have always been curious about the steamdeck

I used to do this as well... I think I went for 6 months once... not great. I wear glasses now and have chronic dry eye. I got lucky.
