For me it's choosing what I want to focus on. Obvious things like needing to prioritize important but understimulating tasks sure, but more frustrating is just trying to have a convo with someone while something like the TV is on in the other room or a car alarm is going off in the parking lot.
Procrastination for sure. Plus some kind of object blindness/forgetfulness: i forget stuff i don't see and things i put down somewhere just blend into the landscape really soon. Even if i consciously see them again, my brain doesn't make the connection to do something with them. Like putting them away or throwing them out.
“Oh, I’ve been meaning to do (X). I’ll get right on that!”
I will not get right on that. No matter how sincere I am when I tell you that I will. Unless I am incredibly anxious about it, it’ll drop out of my head and poof into nonexistence the instant this conversation is over.
No concept of time. I'll sit down and feel a bit hungry, but not enough to eat yet, so I'll tell myself "oh I'll eat in an hour". Then I'll blink and it's been at least four hours and I didn't notice getting so hungry I'll end up overeating.
For me it’s the seeming like a really forgetful person. I have a good memory about things I’m really interested in or when my meds are working. When I don’t remember something it’s usually because I wasn’t paying enough attention or was off my meds and half paying attention.
It used to be difficulty starting things, which led to insane burnout. Now with medication, that's mostly taken care of, but my forgetfulness hasn't gone away, so that's now the new leader lol.
For me it’s probably forgetfulness. When it comes to events I’ve started telling people if it’s not in my calendar it doesn’t exist. Now I just need to start utilizing a to-do list so I don’t forget things I have to do.
It's GPL3 and the source code is available on GitLab, so it's open source. That's usually a good sign as far as software safety goes, since it's harder to sneak nasty things in when your code is out in the open than it is with a closed-source app.
What annoys me the most about shit like this is people don't seem to understand how much more important it is that I just START the task, as opposed to doing the task efficiently. Like I don't care if it's not the absolute best way to do it, I just need to do it.
This man also published a really good book to understand ADHD, both for people suffering and for people surrounding, which is called "Taking Charge of Adult ADHD".
I ended up watching the whole thing, and then again with my wife. Really solid lecture. I'm now subscribed to his youtube channel and have his book on my kindle, though I've only read a chapter in the last month.
Didn't realize what you posted was just a clip.
Definitely an interesting clip, he's actually a really engaging speaker, I'll give the 3hr bit a shot... while I'm also browsing kbin.
Does Kera Desktop only support web apps?
For now, yes. Support for Linux apps is perfectly possible and on the roadmap. For other platforms, we will see what’s possible.
I’ve gone radio silence except for setting up my little spaces on the Fediverse >:3 My husband thinks I’ve been very understanding of his hobbies, and internally I’m* completely oblivious
