My ten-year-old, just now (10:45PM): I was having trouble sleeping, so I decided to build a block tower in my room, and now it's all the way to the ceiling. So, can I have my tablet to take a picture of it?

It's probably a first world problem, but I absolutely hate looking for instructions on how to do something and only finding ones on videos rather than a written version. The reasons:
1. I have to stop listening to music
2. I have to rewatch it several times to understand the instruction, my brain doesn't do auditory data input much
3. It ends up taking much more time than it would have if I was to read one or two sentences, because the video often has an intro, "please like my video", "click to subscribe" and whatnot, and these take twice more time than explaining how to do that one thing I'm looking for. It's infuriating and will definitely not make me like the video and subscribe.
4. Some people just have annoying voices, not their fault, but it happens often.
Having said all that I'm actually grateful that there are instructions for things online and that people care to make them.
selecting music depends on mood. or perhaps, you use music to set a mood. ei, to get out of a mood.
so where do you start? where do you find that music? the overwhelm. if the mood you are in is not a great one, how do you build up the wherewithall? or do you turn off all the noise and do something else instead.
sometimes i just go to the car and turn the radio on and find a channel that does not suck.
Has anyone seen my executive function?
I'm pretty sure I last saw it around here a day or so ago.
It's about yay high, fuzzy around the edges, has a tendency to wander off by itself.
