I can't mow the lawn until I find my propane torch, because I need to bend some metal pieces to repair the lawn mower handle. This is the kind of thing that happens when I haven't puttered in the workshop enough lately so it's a mess and I do not know where all my tools are. #Puttering #MaybeADHD

Second thought: As a result of this, when things are actually due Now, panic sets in because you cannot accomplish the work of a whole week/month/term in a day or two... Even more unfortunately, this was never an issue for me during school because I got good results with little preparation. But work and my second round at university are much more difficult 😬

Yesterday, I realized how many of my issues come from distinguishing time only in Now and NotNow.

Exam in two months? That is NotNow.
Work deadline by the end of the week? Clearly NotNow.
Someone asking me to help them with something when I am free? Guess you want me to help you NotNow 🙃

Explains a lot for me and I will think about how to integrate that knowledge into my plans. I tried artificial, self-set deadlines in the past and they did nothing for me...

I am currently obsessed with an Austrian actor and managed to get my hands on all DVDs of a film series he plays the main character in and it's just so 🥰 I love this!

Of course I don't get anything else done at the moment, even though I want to.
Like studying.
For my exam.
That takes place in two months.
And I only managed to read 1/3 of the material, did not do much else yet 🙈

Oh well.

Holy shit. I'm not normally someone with excessive hyperactivity w/my #maybeADHD, but I think finally being able to do things again and have energy after 7 weeks of fatigue, etc, is Doing Things. I can hardly sit still in my chair and am bouncing all around as I try to guide myself to my code editor and wrap up emails
Dieser traurige Moment wenn eine alte hyperfixierung nicht mehr kickt. Dabei bin ich doch erst bis zu den Verknüpfungen gekommen... #maybeadhd
Ich wollte mich eigentlich nur übers fediverse einlesen und bin jetzt bei beim Binärsystem angekommen. Wünscht mir Glück #maybeadhd
