Introverts: These are usually people of high intelligence who prefer their own thoughts to listening to a bunch of babbling idiots. They tend to develop close relationships with other bright people, and often decline social invitations from oafs.

Extroverts: These are usually people of average or below average intelligence who have difficulty learning new things because they seldom shut their pie holes long enough to hear what others are saying. They tend to share their ignorant opinions with everyone they meet.

I’m sure that the “three months of work” was completely shit code. Anybody who is unfamiliar with source control (or even backups!) is prone to making stupid mistakes. Republican voters are likely to have a similar experience over the next 4 years.

I’ll second PARA. It works well for me. I used it as an organizing principle in my notes and todo software.

Things that I have found useful:

• MENDS as a routine, as often as I can remember (meditation, exercise, nature, diet, sleep)
• Mind mapping to take notes and reorganize / review it often (I use XMind)
• Keeping searchable notes (I use Joplin, but OneNote and Evernote work too)
• Using the above as part of an organization system (look up GTD and “building a second brain”)
• Microdosing psilocybin
• Get your hormone levels checked - if they’re outside the normal range, it can exacerbate ADHD

Good luck! It has been a multi-year journey for me, but a successful one.

Found the Brit.

Are these likely from homegrown fascists, or state-sponsored? I just block them regardless, but curious if Lemmy is popular enough to attract attention from Russian or Chinese disinformation farms.

I don’t remember that one, but Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards was a favorite on my PC with EGA graphics.

57 and same.

I took a smoking flight once. It totally reeked. Even as a smoker it was unpleasant. I also smoked in my hospital room after an appendectomy, which in hindsight seems absolutely nuts.

I quit 12 years ago after trying dozens of times. I credit e-cigs with helping me finally wean off of tobacco.

What a flock of raging assholes. How did they justify forcing working conditions like that on you that you clearly did not want? Did they offer any excuse for doing that?

Is this more of an ADHD thing, or an ASD thing?

I don’t like bright overhead lights, either. I was diagnosed ADHD at the tender age of 56.

I was diagnosed at the age of 56. It might be worth you trying meds again. I have found Strattera to be extremely helpful to me.

And I followed every productivity guru in the world for decades just to try to keep things going for myself professionally. I have so internalized that I am just lazy and need to rail on myself to keep myself in line, that even though I know it isn’t true I still do it to some extent.
