I'm at the mercy of my own whims. How can I feel more in control of myself?

I'm at the mercy of my own whims. How can I feel more in control of myself? - Lemmy.World

I came to a startling realization this morning while getting ready to start my day. I plan my day around various contingencies because I know that if I don’t feel like doing a task, nothing will stop me from not doing it. It’s like I live in fear of myself like I’m some sort of moody army general and I have to work around my own impulsiveness. I take adderall and that helps me to focus but most of my adhd problems are things that I’m not sure medicine will help. Has anyone successfully gotten at least a little handle on their productivity? How did you do it? I’ll also explain what made me come to this realization. I had the thought, “thank God I’ve been in mood to be frugal recently, I’m scared of when that feeling goes away and I start spending money on stupid shit again” So yeah, impulsivity is a problem 😅

Need birthday party advice...

Need birthday party advice... - Lemmy.World

My kids are young and their birthdays are exactly 3 years and 1 day apart. We have their birthday parties together for now because they are still young (turning 4 and 7) they also get along and don’t mind at all sharing a birthday party. When making invitations should I put that it’s a joint birthday party? I don’t want parents to feel obligated to get something for both kids but I also don’t want them to feel bad that they didn’t know and didn’t get something for the other kid. How should I word the invitations?

Air Plants? - Lemmy.World

I just received what I thought was going to be a tiny cute air plant for this tiny cute container I bought. What I received instead is this massive, glorious, curly plant that is 1.5 feet tall. While I’m trying to figure out what to do with it, I’ve researched and vowed to take care of this super cool air plant that is already growing purple blooms. I’m wondering if there’s a specific air plant community or like, something adjacent to that? I’d really rather not get back on reddit to learn about air plants and connect with other air plant people. What are some cool communities I might be missing out on? Cheers!
