What do you do when you run out of spoons? I mean: how do you spend this time when you no longer have the resources for any meaningful action and before you regenerate them?

I'm really struggling with this one, and I'd love to know how you deal with that time.

How do you convince your brain that the task that is fun is still fun when you have to do it? 🤔

The middle of a heatwave - the heater I ordered a week ago when it was (unbearable) 12 degrees C has just arrived.

Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. No doubt, no doubt, no doubt.

Let's hope it works fine because I'm not testing it.

Do you think wizards and witches in stories are ever overwhelmed? 🤔

izabelamisiak, 8 months ago to random

Somebody else made a mistake (and ignored a checklist that could have prevented that), so now my mind is spinning because maybe it's my fault, perhaps I should have done the before-thing better (the thing that needed listening carefully to people talking... yeah...), probably I should do more, and for sure somebody will be mad at me.

Rhetorical question: Will it cost me the whole Monday of energy? (Let's hope not?)

Am I watching a screwdriver with excitement? Yes.

(damn, #DoctorWho marketing team is wonderful, and they know their audience!)

Am I listening to too busy music to regulate my nervous system? Maybe.

• this early autumn is really beautiful
• quiet coffee break on the balcony
• I think I did everything I was supposed to do today (and some more) - feels good

So, cool new idea: 3 things I'm looking forward to today.

I'm #LookingForward to:

• tea
• basking in the sun
• watching part of the course I bought last week

(I think this "looking forward" is a great idea for helping your own headspace; and maybe inspiring others? - original post by @miffyhelen here: https://mastodon.world/@miffyhelen/110875588342984866)

Patience with people: 2%

izabelamisiak, 10 months ago to ADHD

[sometimes]

If I "have" to do a Thing, especially for my own projects, it has to be the only thing on my list for the day, no one should distract me, and I need all the attention I can muster.

All the rest of the random quests, favors, errands, and to-dos with a deadline in 2 months? Oh, sure, I can do it all in one afternoon, no problem.

Life with my AuDHD brain would be easier if I could just do only sidequests without any pressure or meaning 🤦‍♀️

Mastodon stopped automatically setting the correct language for replies - and I hate that, big time. If any of my posts or comments have the wrong language set (and because of that you can't use the translation tool), I'm sorry! Let me know, and I'll fix it.

The idea of spell slots (instead of spoons) is so helpful to me:

I can't think about myself right now (Am I tired? What would I like to do? Who knows!), but I feel like I can do some things. Only problem: there is no magic left for making a choice.

But still: I see that's two separate things, so I can manage and communicate that better 🦸‍♀️

@morothar I just tried the Rubber Duck Therapy method, it's great! Thanks for the idea!

Hope you're doing well 💚

• music that makes my stress level drop instantly,

• I saw a meme again today about a frog being the world's smallest mermaid (also: seals are mermaids for dogs, you're welcome),

• a system that helps me remember friends' and family's birthdays (even if my AuDHD makes time non-existent)

TIL self-silencing is a thing, with 30 years of research on it. Connected with depression. Brought on by cultural norms. One more way society screwed us all.

My life would probably be easier if my brain was interested in one thing and agreed to work on 1 project at a time.

TIL: In my personal food ranking, cumin is in the "poison" category 😶

I just proofread a short article on archeology for a friend - it's totally not what I do at work, and it makes me happy. I love doing all the things (when I don't have to).

I'm not good at Saturdays.

izabelamisiak, 8 months ago to random

It was a good day: I met a friend I hadn't seen for a long time. I ate cakes and drank pea milk latte.

And now I'm listening to @IanThistlethwaite 's new album 🙂 🎧

Zagłosowałam w wyborach.
Wyrobiłam minimum kroków na dziś.
Weszłam po schodach na 9. piętro.

3 Good Things:

1. new weighted blanket - children's size, cute sloths on one side, soft like cat fur on the other

2. I spent the morning listening to Amie McNee's conversation with Lisa Olivera - about creativity, art, and showing up; what a treat!

3. looking at the beautiful sky in the afternoon

What's on your list? 💚
