“The #novelist #IrisMurdoch, whose lengthy, involved, brilliant #novels are probably the kind of thing most people don’t read any more, understood #attention better than most.” Well, I know some people who still read her. Otherwise this piece on our #attentiondeficit by #MarkKingwell is very good.

“Attention deficit” pen on paper. I’ve always struggled focusing on one thing at a time, and when I am forced to, often by convention, my mind wanders endlessly. If that happens when talking with someone I always feel so guilty, as it does not mean I do not find what they say interesting. In a way this struggle to focus, while thoughts wander freely, also binds the mind to a different kind of prison, where what you want to listen to can never be fully absorbed.

Disability Accommodations for ADHD by Government Employers?

Looking for information on white collar desk job USA government employer
accommodations for ADHD that have been approved.

I of course know most of the tools for working with improving focus in
the workplace (alarms, daily boss check-ins, lighting, proper sleep,
medications, nutrition, sound levels, working with other people,
Pomodoro Technique, todo lists, schedules, etc.).

*I'm looking for "reasonable accommodations" that have actually been
formally approved on disability accommodations by USA govt. employers in
the past.* What are we most likely to get approved? Not approved?

Thanks for any and all ideas.

Thanks,
Michael Reeder LCPC

Время от времени вижу в людных парках и на бульварах одиноких читательниц с бумажными книгами, которые делают вид, будто им удаётся читать страницу за страницей в то время, как вокруг ходят и разговаривают люди, носятся и повизгивают дети. Это какой-то синдром избытка внимания и неактивности. #ADHD #attentiondeficit #pipl #parks #publicplaces #MW

Marcus' Blog

One of the biggest sticking points of being a solo dev is maintaining motivation. I’ve been keeping a journal entry about how to hack my motivation, what works and what doesn’t. Here are the things that have worked. Convert external sources to motivation I’ve always known that I’m more extrinsically than intrinsically motivated, so I have a couple systems that help to give me bursts of external motivation. For example, the Money Bots, which pop up every time someone subscribes.
