Yeah I’ve done this a few times. I used to work in construction, so jobs would often not be quite what they seemed from the job description, and sometimes the hiring people would lie. At one former job, I found out I was getting paid less than I was told in the interview, so I walked out. One job I worked for a day or two until we had to go up on a roof with bare joists and no one tied off. When I mentioned safety concerns they called me a pussy so I walked off. Nothing is worth falling off a roof into a bunch of construction debris.
100%, especially if I’m watching a show I’ve seen before. Currently watching Parks and Rec for the… 10th time?
There’s something about having an out at any time with the shorter episodes. I know that I’m easily distracted but won’t miss something, because I’ve seen it before. Watching a movie takes a lot more effort because I want to give the movie the attention it deserves, and there aren’t clear intermissions.
BRING BACK INTERMISSIONS FOR PEOPLE WITH ADHD AT HOME
It is always important to celebrate the small victories in the class war
As others on this thread have said, ADHD medication at the proper doses can be a real life changer for motivation on these tasks that feel totally walled off.
SSRIs and other antidepressants are super helpful for keeping you out of those deep dark days, but I didn’t find it helped me much with motivation alone. Once I found the right SSRI and the right stimulant medication (Prozac and vyvanse for me), I started finding it a lot easier to just get chores done when I thought of them. If it’s something I can’t do right now (like groceries), I just write it down in my Reminders lists so that I’m not scrambling when I go out to get groceries. The apple reminders app is basically my second brain, and I always write down stuff I gotta do that I’m prone to forget about in there.
I adore jumping spiders, why are they SO CUTE?
