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.

@pantransautie Awesome! That's a great place to be.

Yo I need to write a review for #DevsFX when the show ends

@wabbster Oh wow! This used to happen to me before I started listening to music, radio, or podcasts while coding.

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.

@pantransautie Man, I'm sorry. That's really hard to go through.

I'm finally getting through it by realizing that I won't be able to get the thing that it is that I want (in my case personally, a relationship) without taking risks. Even if I fail, I have a higher chance of success if I just try.

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

@Lexi For me I've figured out that writing down or typing out thoughts I plan on remembering, and punching dates I need to remember, really helps alleviate this stress, as I won't lose the idea or forget the event, especially if it's in digital form and I can easily search for it.

@Lexi Honestly, thank you so much for posting this.
