Reminds me how in outer wilds, the alien species writes in spirals, and replies or additional thoughts are added as branches to the spiral. It was actually inspired by the way the lead writer took notes.
So I’m not the only one?! How do you control their use in work comms? I usually have to read everything over and see what I can break into sentences. I’ve also included asterisks when adding potentially superfluous info. 😂
Many people who aren’t ADHD can relate to ADHD symptoms, but if you see something that you can relate to, I recommend you copy it to a folder or write it down somewhere you’re sure to lose it (ha ha). You can browse several ADHD communities if you have the time, and if you get a good list going, check out the posts regarding what testing looks like.
ADHD isn’t becoming more common, but thanks to online communities it is becoming increasingly common for people to realize they have it. Figuring out why you do some of the things you do is a wild ride.
Anyway, have some fun, live your life, and come back here and laugh with us. Byeeee. 😊
I don’t know if I have ADHD, but I struggle with this as well! Sometimes I’ll write a message/email and there’s a paren after every other sentence.
Lately I’ve been making an effort to substitute with a semicolon or bridge the thoughts with a dash:
“I’m thinking this - but I also think this.”
Unsure if that’s a correct usage of punctuation, but I feel like it helps the sentence feel more focused and an expansion of the thought, rather than a random segue (especially with work)
Edit: realized that I had broken my own rule seconds after posting
