Trap door, definitely a Bond villain style trap door.

A place for everything, everything in it’s place.

I second alarms. I use them throughout the day to prompt me to get a task completed. Also, everything for the task has to be nearby. I happened upon the concept from a food server. All items for their tasks were at their station. Now, take it step further and try to chain tasks by having one end where the next action begins.

Glad we don’t wear those shirts anymore!

Suggestion: Make it worse - Make it worser

We are our worst enemy. There was an interesting piece on NPR (might be a TED Talk) about how our brains see our future selves the same as a stranger. Meaning we have the same amount of goodwill and empathy as for a random stranger on the street. Like, if you see someone in the rain without an umbrella, then think “sucks to be them” well, that is you tomorrow. Weird

I’m not a doctor, but those meds can’t be safe. Some can last a while, but those are sealed. If yours are in a bottle, they can go bad, absorb moisture, and go stale. That’s what I’ve been told by others.

I second the seclusion idea. We cannot be trusted with distractions. Remove them and you won’t have to resist or use will power. Speaking of will power, we don’t have as much as others. I’ve found routines are my lifeline. Each task or step has to complete near the beginning of the next one. The closer the better, so there is as little time for a distraction to interfere with the flow. One last thing, it doesn’t get better or worse. You ability to cope gets better or worse. We have ADHD, you don’t grow out of it any more than a person with a missing hand (an an extreme example) grows out of it. They work around it. They can’t use both hands, because they don’t have two hands. We have our personal ADHD symptoms that won’t go away. Our only way forward is to identify them, accept them, and then work on ways to mitigate them. You wouldn’t fault a one handed man for not being able to clap like everyone else, so don’t beet yourself up over your “failings”. Help yourself of tomorrow by finding how to cope with your symptoms today.

I see it like this; Instead of raising our mood from say a base 0, we’re getting to 0 from a negative deficit. A net gain, but not really making you feel better.

WOW! https://www.brown.edu/Departments/Joukowsky_Institute/courses/13things/7687.html#:~:text=“Gunpowder%2C” as it came,and explode as a propellant.

I hear you. They can be a time sink (bone apple tea?). For me, basic BuJo on paper has been the answer for years. Recently though, I’ve started to use Google Tasks and Calendar to push tasks at me more than the pull of paper and pen.

Same for me. Now that I know about goblin.tools, I will take over the world! Mu-ha-ha

Goblin.tools is interesting! The chef tool will be a huge help!
