    I second alarms. I use them throughout the day to prompt me to get a task completed. Also, everything for the task has to be nearby. I happened upon the concept from a food server. All items for their tasks were at their station. Now, take it step further and try to chain tasks by having one end where the next action begins.

    Incredible deep dives into the worst people. They cover the big names, no-names, dead, still living, and even the newest like Sam Bankman-Freid. While Robert is obviously great, but Sofie is the best. Proof of "we are better together" DO NOT LISTEN WITHOUT HEADPHONES WHILE IN PUBLIC OR AT WORK It gets wild from time to time

    I'm not sure why I used it, I don't even know if I've used it in a real conversation. Felt good in the moment I guess? Maybe it was the memory of his failed casino that inspired me?

    I fear you are right. Though the original Teflon Don got his eventually.

    Gotti died of throat cancer on June 10, 2002, at the United States Medical Center for Federal Prisoners in Springfield, Missouri.

    I play Arena every day, and in-person with two friends on the weekend. I'm getting back in after leaving the game a long time ago. Life got in the way, mostly drinking and cavorting, but now I'm back. Arena has really helped to learn all the different aspects of MTG today. It's improved my in person play considerably. The idea of drafting is intimidating. There is a lot of pressure to make a decision, and I don't have enough experience or knowledge to get a deck with a chance to won at least once. Someday though, I'll be at the LGS to draft.

    We are our worst enemy. There was an interesting piece on NPR (might be a TED Talk) about how our brains see our future selves the same as a stranger. Meaning we have the same amount of goodwill and empathy as for a random stranger on the street. Like, if you see someone in the rain without an umbrella, then think "sucks to be them" well, that is you tomorrow. Weird

    I'm not a doctor, but those meds can't be safe. Some can last a while, but those are sealed. If yours are in a bottle, they can go bad, absorb moisture, and go stale. That's what I've been told by others.

    I second the seclusion idea. We cannot be trusted with distractions. Remove them and you won't have to resist or use will power. Speaking of will power, we don't have as much as others. I've found routines are my lifeline. Each task or step has to complete near the beginning of the next one. The closer the better, so there is as little time for a distraction to interfere with the flow. One last thing, it doesn't get better or worse. You ability to cope gets better or worse. We have ADHD, you don't grow out of it any more than a person with a missing hand (an an extreme example) grows out of it. They work around it. They can't use both hands, because they don't have two hands. We have our personal ADHD symptoms that won't go away. Our only way forward is to identify them, accept them, and then work on ways to mitigate them. You wouldn't fault a one handed man for not being able to clap like everyone else, so don't beet yourself up over your "failings". Help yourself of tomorrow by finding how to cope with your symptoms today.

  • I had a low day and thought I'd do some D4 when it hit me, these are depressing stories! Everyone I look for is dead! Even some I speak to in begining end up dead by the time I get back! They're well written, just sad. I reunited a guy and his goat. A goat passed out after eating too much salt. Salt made from AN ENTIRE VILLAGE!! Guess I should've watched Ted Lasso instead?
