Gone Star Roaming

Odysseus: Regret it why?

Cassandra: You won’t believe me if I tell you. If I prophecy, nobody believes me. That is my curse.

Odysseus: … I’m Nobody. Fill me in. 

*A couple of months later* 

Odysseus: HELLO PENELOPE, I AM HERE PRECISELY ON TIME AND NOT YEARS LATE incidentally I rescued and adopted a Trojan seer while I was away, she’s great, got me home really fast, Cassandra this is your new mother who’s not going to treat you like shit. 

Penelope: … I’m going to need more details, but okay, sure.

M, Vashwood, 15k, complete

It's been three years. Vash is haunted by the events of the past, sometimes literally, and still coming to terms with his grief. He's... not doing a very good job. But then a flash of gold and a ghostly whisper open his mind to other possibilities...

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

There's a million to do list apps out there and I have tried half of them. I'm sure there's more that are great, but I found one that works for me.

Fellow havers of ADHD who thrive on novelty of a new organization system and spent hours setting up a new to do app every couple of months, this might help you too.

It's like one dude doing the thing, and he's been great. Super quick to answer any questions and made a crapton of help, intro, tips, tricks. Heck, me asking a question of how to just sort out the past due got me two ways to filter for close enough and the suggestion on the next update.

Free works great. Premium will get you more tags, cross device syncing, and sharing lists. None of which I use because I use a million lists instead of tags, am glued to my phone, and do not habe anyone to share with. Bonus for me is that it also has a lifetime premium option to just buy once instead of monthly.

But hey if you enter in all your stuff to remember, and then set up a schedule and reminders and lists and all that, and then after a few weeks or months, it's just not happening? Shuffle that deck into a new organization. Bam. free dopamine of a new start.

Also it added in a recent do of snoozing a reminder. Telling it to bug off for a few minutes, hours, days... That helped me when I was in the throes of a project and was absolutely not going to do the laundry that day.

I use it for what I've listed but it can do more. It can cut you off after a daily limit, and you can set it to suggest alternative apps. Or it can increase wait time before opening apps if you still keep opening them. There's also a grace period unlock that skips the wait but is super brief for access. Says it's for quick messages but I have not used it.

Anyway this is a free app, but you can optionally tip to unlock a custom lock screen and I used it a week before deciding it was worth it to have

Every time I try to open my distraction apps.

Second image is Wolfwood sitting on The Couch™️. It's from the side of the couch and he's alive and happily slouching forward, arms out, warm smile on his face while confetti rains down and a half dozen children race to him. One is so enthusiastically racing that they have tripped and are still scuttling forward on all fours. The whole area has such a gentle glow. Everything is fine and nothing hurts. I'm not crying you are.
