@jk This thread & all the replies describe my life.
Most of the time, in order to remember to look at the list I've made, I have to put it somewhere it will be a physical obstacle to future me *enough to make future me irritated*.
It now occurs to me that this might somehow be the explanation for the mystery of why I found a pair of my sweatpants in the freezer.
Anyway, yeah, #ADHD is exhausting.

#TIL that #ADHD affects similar areas of the brain that get affected when a person experiences trauma. So at varying levels, those of us who have ADHD *can* be walking around with a form of #PTSD as well.

STATUS: in an entire SEASON of #ADHD #hyperfixation on #WRITING
GOOD! I'm accomplishing oh so very much #wordsmith-ing! Yay!
NOT GOOD! I'm completing ~5% of tasks & other projects that *need* *my* attention!
Also, spouse & offspring are making noises about missing me?😬
Also, I live in the hope that during my literal 6-8 hours of daily butt-in-chair writing, something external will remind me to drink water & eat. 🫤
