I'm surprised by home many of these apply to me.

NOTE: People don't tell me that I'm lazy, but "Myself" tells "Me" that I'm lazy. It's just as bad.

This is super applicable, although I wasn't aware of all these things consciously, I've figured out how to deal with a lot of them:

> Prevent Frustration

I try to work with as little people in the room as possible. Humming, singing, and my new #FidgetCube helps, too. Moving (or, rarely, dancing), helps too. What I've found is, strange as it may sound, while studying in a classroom, pacing on a table provides the perfect amount of rush that I need.

> Create Interest

I make things interesting by making them funny; adding quips in my notes keeps me interested in them when I read them, as I love jokes and humor. For gamification, I pay attention to the grades I get on my homework (which I actually used to procrastinate in reading because I was afraid I didn't get a good grade). I'm actually realizing that if I apply myself, no matter how hard it may be, I'll see the end result eventually.

> Externalize

I've been doing this for a long time, finally personifying my internal and external characters as "me" (external) and "myself" (internal). Myself is a far harsher critic than Me.

Example:

* I get a bad grade *

Myself: See, this is why you should've studied more. This is all your fault for spending too much time with your friends.

Me: Nothing wrong with spending time with friends. Friends are more important than grades. Nothing I can do about the grade now, I just need to prioritize my time better, and study earlier so I can still hang out with my friends.

#ADHD

I can rarely focus on just one thing at a time; if I try, catchy music or super distracting thoughts will pop into my head and keep me from actually paying attention to what people are saying.

Strangely, it's easier for me to focus on someone (like if someone is talking) if I'm * not * looking at him or her at all. I suppose I'm stimulated by audio, and video is just distracting.

I RELATE TO THIS SO MUCH

Props to @Lexi for making me aware of this site on #ADHD

I had no idea how much I needed a Fidget Cube until I got one.

#FidgetCube #Toys #ADHD

Hmm.

If I find myself on the #ADHD spectrum, but don't have all of the symptoms, do I have #ADHD or not?

(And yes I know it doesn't * really * matter a whole lot, but I'd like to know.)
