Our lives wouldn’t be so complicated if we had financial freedom via a UBI and didn’t have that metaphorical gun put to our heads to make us keep working forever.
Most animals do very little every day, humans are one of the only animals to have no resource scarcity but still work ourselves into an early grave from stress.
Compare your life to that of a caveman: constantly watching out for predators, fire risks, intrusive insects, maintaining an insufficient shelter, tanning and hiding your clothing out of necessity, sleeping fretfully, and of course spending a good portion of your day scrounging for food whilst keeping the kids alive.
Our ADHD brains were in overdrive much of our history to cope with the dangers and stress of living.
Nowadays we have systematic soceital dangers to focus on, but we forget that our minds are far less distracted by real threats, and so we seek arbitrary topics to hyperfixate upon
Just breathe, write lists, you got this.
Our ADHD brains
Just breathe, write lists
OH MY GOD, how did I never think of this?!?!? This is going to absolutely turn my life around, this is such an amazing day!
Do you also tell people in wheelchairs to “just stand up,” or people with dyslexia to “just read what’s on the paper?”
Baby steps. They don’t have to be organized lists, there’s no need to overthink it – write emails to yourself, send TODO messages over Whatsapp to yourself – be as chaotic and inefficient as you like in the process of writing said lists, and don’t worry about the perfection.
Wheelchair users can get around without standing up, and dyslexic people can read and write at their own pace
I may forget to check my lists but I at least I have them for when I remember
It would only be like your examples if they said to keep everything in your head. Using lists are one way people with adhd can help themselves, because now you have a list to go back to.
But please, go off.
If I had a dollar for every time someone suggested a planner to fix my executive dysfunction - which has virtually nothing to do with not knowing what I should be doing - then I would be able to afford my ADHD medication.
But please, go off on disorders you clearly don’t understand.
every time someone suggested a planner to fix my executive dysfunction
Interesting how that’s not what I or the other person commented.
They literally teach you this in highschool science. They teach you that the universe is a dynamic system driven by entropy. They teach you that equilibrium, i.e. a state of stability in a dynamic system, is achieved when the rate of structural formation equals the rate of destruction, e.g. bonds forming/breaking, population birth/death, organizing/disorganizing one’s room… Managing while not burning out is stability.
The classic question of “when would any of this be applicable in the real world” is intended to be a critique of how school curriculums can be dated or out of touch with chages in how the world works. It also highlights the often understated goal of a good education–shaping students into people who have the fundamental tools and the mindset to actively answer that crucial question for themselves.
Smashmouth tried to warn us. The years keep coming and they do not stop coming.
why did they self censor “burn”?
To my knowledge, it’s because advertisers don’t want to be displayed next to potentially negative posts.
That then means that commercial social media platforms would rather display posts for which they get paid. So, potentially negative posts get downranked by the content curation algorithm to the point where they will be seen by virtually no one.
And that then means that users self-censor, and also potentially overdo it, because they don’t know for certain which words will get punished.
This is similar to the phenomenon known as algospeak, where words such as “unalive” are used: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algospeak
Engagement bait
And “freaking”
that is at least kind of understandable. but if one thinks “Burn” is bad word, why stop there :D should censor also adult and problem, maybe also endless, never and no too since those could potentialy also have negative connotations which seems to be big no no. oh and also laundry since moneylaundring is a thing.
and “adult” clearly means porn, and “ends” clearly refers to murder or suicide 🙃
gaaaaaasp plz tw c*nsorship
The one thing I realize about these ToDO lists, is that they are written by others for you. Designed perfectly to exploit and trap the average person, until their life passes.
It’s hard to pivot, if you are already in a wage-slave job, it is a trap. However, if you can eliminate your dependencies, say no to people who drain you, and create just enough room to find another job, you can finally start living.
One must imagine Sisyphus happy
True, also these thoughts are somewhat depressive. Many if not most people are perfectly happy with what hey have (family, home etc) and the work they have to do. This is impossible to imagine if you have depression, but it’s a reality.
Because he CHOOSES to push the boulder. That’s the important distinction. If you wait until you HAVE to do laundry it’s not really a choice and it feels like the chores are now dictating your schedule instead of the other way around.
Actually, sisyphus was forced to roll the boulder by hades as punishment, bc he tried to cheat zeus. N the boulder keeps rolling down bc hades enchanted it, so sisyphus could never complete his task
Yes, I know it was his punishment. But he later comes to accept his fate and DECIDES to push the boulder up the hill everyday. It’s just a made up story anyway I’m sure people heard other versions hence the downvotes.
Thats not rly deciding tho is it? Bc he was never the one to start pushing the boulder of his own volition, he was made to do it. N the fact that he may have accepted his fate eventually doesn’t change that. Also dont worry abt the downvotes :3 it happens sometimes 🫂
Well, stability is doing the same thing every day, so…
So it’s like space travel. Achieve a steady burn without exploding.
WHO IS CENSORING THE WORD “BURN” ???
The people who know you’ll engage with the post with a comment like this.
It’s basically free engagement from nothing.
I suspect there’s an algorithm out there on some other platform where boosting is adversely affected by any kind of negative language, and people have figured it out and try to game it with this kind of thing.
FREAKING? FREAKING. NOT FUCKING. FREAKING. WHAT.
fire hot -> fire bad! if fire bad, need to cover word to not summon fire!
I initially thought it said “bitch out,” meaning that the censorship made me think of a “worse” word.
edit: Also didn’t realize until now that that freaking said “freaking.” Again … Censorship made things seem more extreme.
Honestly, the “it never ends” part is real — the best hack I’ve found is separating daily maintenance from actual projects so you don’t feel like you’re failing at life every time you do laundry. Also: future-you deserves a day off too.
yeah, I sometimes thank past me when I don’t have to deal with hassle avoided by my past actions (even if it’s mundane stuff like washing the dishes yesterday xd)
Why the fuck is burn censored?
You mean,
W*y the f*ck is b*rn censored?
Bro! Watch your language!
“y**r language” please, won’t someone think of the children.
***nguage!
Manage your mouth words!
**** **** ****
The stability of… not having to dishes or other chores? Lmao
Censorship=downvote
I don’t think it’s for the viewer. More likely it’s for content recognition algos and engagement bait.
I think it’s a joke. They’re censoring “freaking” and “burn”.
No one forces you to do all things, maybe bills since some are imposed by the States.
Self preservation mandates that we do those things. Sourcing food, cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, cleaning our living areas.
Still you are forcing those upon yourself (you can eat outside, order food, use disposable plates, etc). I don’t even consider things like cleaning and washing a problem though.
Stuff like bills in countries like mine you have to pay for them because it’s illegal to live outside the grid. Email is also not necessary, me having over a dozen emails is some self-inflicted pain, me using whatsapp because that’s what family and friends use is some external inflicted pain but I could choose not to use it.
I phrased it “source food” on purpose, no matter how you get it you still need to do it every day. You’re either going to put in an enormous amount of effort to grow your own food or you need a job to buy your food. And you still need to cook it. Washing clothes and keeping your abode clean are still necessary and something you can’t get away from no matter where you are.
Of course all the other stuff you mention is optional. But using WhatsApp isn’t anywhere in the same ballpark in terms of effort.
Fuckity cunt, lickety clit screw this god damn censorship shit.
Rat shit bat shit, dirty old twat: 29 ass holes tied in a knot!
Do you pronounce twat with a British accent to make it rhyme better?
Indeed! Twat is such a versatile word.
