“If it takes less than 2 minutes, do it now.” ⏱️

Sounds simple. But for the ADHD brain? It’s ✨revolutionary✨.

Why it works:

Stops your to-do list from becoming a mountain

Gives your brain a lil dopamine hit for completing something

Helps beat the “I’ll do it later” curse 🧙‍♂️

Breaks the cycle of executive dysfunction with small wins 💪

Examples:

Replying to a message 📱

Throwing trash in the bin 🗑️

Drinking water 💧

Plugging in your dying phone 🔌

Moving that ONE sock off your floor 🧦

Start small. Let momentum do the rest.

ADHD isn’t about laziness — it’s about tricking your brain into action ⚡

💡Bonus tip: Use timers. Your future self will thank you. Even if they still forget where they put the remote 😅

fLoReNcE & tHe MaChIne

Whenever possible - intermittently - I will ask myself “What is the right thing to do, right now”. The answer could be anywhere from “Wake up, because it’s 10 a.m and class is starting 30 minutes ago” or “Get off of the internet, tumblfolk aren’t going anywhere” or "be here now”

The goal is simply to ask, not to act on. The biggest problem, that get aggravated by anxiety and ADHD, is that I am not even aware that I spend hours on something wasteful, there is an awareness in the back corner of my head that , holy shit I know I should be doing something, but omg so scary so I’m going to watch youtube videos. I think part of the fear comes from me assuming I HAVE to act on it. I mean, it might the wise thing to do, not doing might have terrible consequences, but I still don’t HAVE to do it. 

That might help me overcome the mountain that is the anxiety and with practice I might be able to shake of the hypnotic trap that ADHD is. And just ...have the knowledge, that I sould be writing my cover letter for the new job, but I am here watching Newsroom on HBO. 

That way I know I am making an informed choice. 

Let us see if this works.
