I have tried a couple of different "daily planner" type strategies (Bullet Journal, etc...), but none of them seem to stick. I'm looking for ideas on how others are able to organize their daily/weekly/whatever to see if any of them would make sense for me (or maybe even trigger inspiration to take parts from ideas and make my own). I'm pretty sure whatever I go with would have to be digital (carrying a physical notebook with me was part of the reason Bullet Journal didn't work), but I'm not opposed to trying an analog technic again. Also, depending on the strategy I could probably "convert" it to digital and use Obsidian or another tool (I'm an iOS user).

There were only two books that I wanted to read immediately anyways and the rest I could save for later if I wanted to get to them. I told some friends and I now know someone who admitted to trying to read up to twenty (I'm guessing by going through each one and then back again each week). I'm not judging, but now I know how extreme things can get. > > And here I was being against "required reading" (which I *kinda* still am as I believe, outside of a few classics and fundamental material, Marxists should read whatever the hell they want, and even then, I'm pretty lax about that rule). > > Welp, that's all. > > How are you all doing this week?

I'm reading a lot of conflicting information about ADHD so I'm not really sure how to describe it. But I saw a statement that resonated with me. It lines up with a lot of the difficulties and frustrations in my life. I'm curious to see what others think about it.: ADHD is not being able to start, and not being able to stop. How well does it describe your experience?

How does everyone feel about it? Should I keep it? Turn it off? Change it's frequency? (If so, to what?). It feels like it's the biggest poster here and I don't know if that is a good thing or not? I see some responses to it (which is good), but I also see a few that don't get responses. If it's just about the prompts it is giving I could try tuning that as well. Please let me know what you all think.

I got my ADD diagnosis today (no "h" as I don't meet the criteria for hyperactivity). It felt validating to hear a doctor say what I've felt for a while now.

Hi all, I was wondering who here's tried meditation - have you? If so, did it help? What kind of meditation did you do? How long till you noticed the benefit (if any)? If not, had you heard of it being used as a behavioural intervention? Would you try it? I'd tried it before (before I realised I (probably) have ADHD), but didn't stick with it long enough for the results to show. I mean to start it again, but... well, you know the rest.
