The only way I can picture this: Face the talker, lean forward at the hip joint as far as balance allows, rotate both arms like V-22 Osprey propellers, mouth wide open without making a sound.
Why must I be a Jar Jar type? Why can't I be a Doc Brown ADHD type?
Is that also related to ADHD? Mind blown, because that is one of my defining weaknesses, and always has been!
If I ever go back to studying, it definitely has to be from home. Might even have worked out the first time then. Over 50 % of my energy went into the logistics of being at a specific location at a specific time with coursework done, and picking up the course certificates. Yes, I did all the courses for an intermediate diploma and more (back before BSc and MSc was a thing), but failed in picking up 20 % of them before they were destroyed.
Exactly, just that one single "sprint" is a good day for me already
Yes, apparently they can do a lot with that information. I'm not sure what to say though. Coffee can make me really tired, or extremely stimulated like a cartoon squirrel.
I can nap on Modafinil, which is a narcoleptic drug used only off-label for ADHD. It's basically like coffee on coffee.
Good job achieving all that on hard mode!
The only thing that really works for me is when I make it a 25 minute hyper-focussed challenge: Set a timer and make the maximum progress that is theoretically possible in that time. No getting water, no toilet breaks, no looking at the phone. Beats 3 hours of getting a glass of water, toilet breaks, getting hungry, realising I should work out and shower first and finding more reasons to jump up any day - surprisingly. Got to always treat it as if it were a competition.
Not the worst that can happen. Job lost, dishes done.
I even encourage myself to do this, so at least SOMETHING gets done.
Worst thing that ever happened regarding key displacement: Had a complicated day planned with my GF, both basically rushing off in opposite directions and doing our things. She forgot something though and rushed back in. When trying to leave again just about 10 seconds later, she couldn't find the key she just used!
We were both searching, no success. Had to make the day work with just one key for both of us. The key was found weeks later in the middle under the bed, covered by other things and dust.
Best theory: They fell on the tip of her shoe while she was walking and got catapulted, kept sliding under things that were already there. But we'll never know.
Absolutely, but even worse is a slightly changed UI in an application or website. Or THE HORROR: Supermarket changed shelf of something.
SO many math tests where I gave 100 % correct answers but only made the first 60 %. I didn't even know this was related. Maybe the teachers should have investigated this further. Because it's odd, isn't it? If I were just bad at math, I'd either make many mistakes, or cherry-pick parts of the tests that I can do. But not do the first 60 % and then stop due to time running out. They should also have gotten the hint when they could always ask me something in class and I would know.
This went on at university (which I never finished) and certifications (still passed, because they typically have passing scores of 50 - 70 %).
