I have this trick in meetings when they suddenly go: AddLemmus, what are your thoughts on that?

I just revert my last mental steps before they jumped the shark, and say: “Actually, I was still thinking about [topic 10 minutes ago], which requires more attention. Especially …”

And it works! They think I’m thorough and thoughtful, the one who catches the important details that would have been overlooked otherwise.

Got to make a stash over time. But I get it; it’s not exactly the kind of thing we excel at.

Germany here, and I just learned that for the past month, my kid did actually not do so great at school, after his meds (Medikinet removed) were unavailable and he got a generic one with a completely different extended-release profile. Decided by pharmacist against doctor’s orders. Can’t believe it! Health insurance is EUR/USD 1100 per month here, and you’re not allowed to quit. Least I can expect is that he gets the 40 cents / day meds that help, after waiting a year to get diagnosed and treated!

thanks, sounds like XLPE, then! Big glass pieces were shipped with it.

Exactly the kind of experience I need to hear from, thanks!

I see. Modafinil was decent at getting things started & done without the “high”, but it is certainly not shy of risks and side effects itself.

Interesting, thanks! What was the reason go get off?

omg, would keep forever!

Can be squished a little bit with force.

See? The plain white ones are gigantic in size, wouldn’t find them easily, and the black one seems line one of a kind!

At least in Firefox, when it comes to ordering in terms of ctrl+tab cycle order, it’s just a setting now; used to need an add-on.

Absolutely; setting tab cycle by most recent is essential when you go > 100.

Back from the days when people switched browsers several times in 5 years, I still use a .txt file. Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Opera, Firefox … there was a time of rapid improvement by switching about 27 - 20 years ago.

A mix of the two would be useful: Close the oldest (by last visit) tab when there are more than 12, but only when it is at least 2 hours hold. That way, it doesn’t interrupt a research frenzy, such as when I make a major shopping decision. That’s the only time I ever regret my # tab limit.

For me, it works as long as there is a written list to check off from the night before. No list - no action.

As long as there is a list, I can use every trick: Really don’t feel like it? Set a timer to do just the first item. Allow to pick the easiest, and just do one for now.

Like I said earlier: It is with great grievance that I had to put an end to this and install a plugin that closes the oldest one when I get over 15 (Limit Tabs). (Actually, that is only great, unless I’m in a shopping decision frenzy and actually need this.)

lol, this advice is excellent, but the sheer number of options is completely overwhelming with ADHD.

This kept me from deciding for one option for a long time. I settled with a hot air fryer eventually, but it doesn’t really matter.

What helped me a lot to take the pressure off is engineered staple food: Something that’s always ready, and much more healthy than most takeout. This is Food, Huel, all good. With 0 appetite on meds, a This is Food drink is perfect.

With that fallback in place, the stress of “must cook” is gone so I can actually cook :-)

I used to be sceptical about these things long before the word “degoogle” was used, but I realised that in my case, it’s worth the loss of privacy. So I put everything into google calendar, and I use the assistant with speech-to-text to input every event, appointment and timespan as soon as I get it for the first time.

A classical wall calendar will never work for people like us. Best we can do is IMAGINE how we’ll just put everything in it.

Still somehow mess up hilariously, but less often now.

I’m exactly like that, and I find it so strange. Usually, the brain adepts to a new situation, and that isn’t exactly new.

I plan everything as if I did not have ADD, and have done so even before I was diagnosed and had meds.

We don’t have the right to just quit the system entirely, and that’s a problem. That way, I pay the 1100 monthly premium and still nearly everything out of pocket.

The German system is far superior when you need immediate life-saving treatment AND are very very poor. Appendicitis, arm chopped off, cancer - they’ll save you, and it costs nothing.

Something that will probably kill you in the next 8 years, or a curable condition like depression that makes you unable to work for years? No chance for treatment with coverage, but got to keep paying the premium anyway. Well, if unable to work, it’s free, but you will not get your depression treated anytime soon.
