To be fair they did explicitly say that this report includes no data from 2025.

Well yeah, although you could just as easily say something like 'dumbass' in place of the r word and have the same idea.

I see what you're saying, but it's also good and fun to point and laugh at tankies/conservatives/fascists and call them stupid.

Sure, its a little ableist but it's worth it, and nowhere near the r word. (As a person with fairly severe ADHD and probably a bit of autism in there somewhere since u probably care)

It's ok, if they're all silly thoughts that also works

I'll let my life fall apart from neglect, but heaven forbid someone else become slightly inconvenienced!

Exactly. It is frustrating sometimes though knowing exactly what is wrong with my brain and why I struggle and yet having such a hard time dealing with it.

STOP DOING VTOL in c/[email protected]

Yep, arguably a vtol is much worse if you are close to the ground, which is the main place vtol is used.

This post is an explanation of how my personal motivation works, and I am curious how others here relate to it, and if it is a common thing with ADHD.

For starters, I have inattentive-type ADHD, have been diagnosed and on various medications for ~5 years, and am roughly college age for context. I am very highly motivated by other people, basically anything where people are depending on my for something, or will directly help/harm someone depending on my actions. Of course I still have executive dysfunction struggles regardless, but that external motivation helps immensely.

In school this manifested as struggling a lot with homework (often not doing it), but doing very well in-class and with group projects. In my limited work and internship experiences, somewhat predicably, I have done very well as directly working hands-on with coworkers highly motivates me. Unfortunately, personal life progression things like actually getting a job and finding and applying for further education is the exact opposite, and is a struggle. There are of course plenty more examples, but I think that gives the gist of my experience.

I actually almost didn't do 2, just saw that it was a random parking lot in Albany, and just happened to see that it was a police academy on google on a second look

Very good advice though

I think the problem with simple things like this are not that they don't work, but that the problem arises in the actually doing of the things.

Personally my primary problem from ADHD is executive dysfunction, and it is SO hard to convey to people/advisors and such that yes, if I did all these "easy" solutions it would help, but the problem is the doing of the thing, creating a bootstrapping problem. To do the productive work you need to use x strategy but you can't do x strategy because brain says no.

I think if as you have you can make these simple things habit it will help immensely, but as you said it takes a lot of willpower.

Hm, the parking lot of the new York state police academy in the University of Albany. Interesting choice of meeting spot.
