#careless mistakes

[structuredsucc]

I hate the term 'careless mistake' when related to ADHD because a lack of due care usually isn't the cause.

Usually it's automated processes such as information processing, working memory, or attention regulation that leads to the mistake

If you're looking for ways to prevent 'careless mistakes,' please start by acknowledging you do, in fact, care.

Then let's find the root of the problem and address that. For example, you can set up the information in a way that's easier for you to process (eg. visual vs written)

Changing the way that you have the information is presented, such as going through the first time using words then the second time as visuals is particularly helpful.

Reducing compound items (where three steps are written as one single step) can help too.

Also, everyone normalizes to information, steps, or lists over time, so it is not abnormal, wrong, or bad to have someone else check if you missed something obvious.

If you don't have someone to check, put it down and check it later, especially after a mood shift or a cognitively different task. This can help you to focus on different details.

Combining this with changing the way the information is presented is particularly helpful, imo

"An easy proposition for the Emperor to make - 'become a mind flayer' - it has no soul to sacrifice. If it did, perhaps it would understand the weight of what it's asking of us. And why we might seek an alternative."

i'm boosting my ko-fi here i normally don't like asking for donations but money is a Bit Tight until i get paid again on the 1st

i have weird dietary restrictions (meat/dairy/eggs/soy make me, in varying levels, sick) so food shopping is really difficult sometimes and i'm stressed as hell

I can't really offer anything art wise (i have overdue commissions + the heat makes it hard to draw sometimes)

So I’ve just seen this tweet and…

…so I know the dates here are from the Wiki and therefore not necessarily all canon, but that’s not what I wanted to talk about (for once).

My question is:

Who is “Michael Vaas”? 😅

guys you wont believe this but ive accidentally messed up the exact same part of my doily twice this week and just got back to where i was and realized i'd messed it up in yet another, even worse way which requires undoing all of my rework. so i've made negative progress on it in the last five days

I have a lot of feelings about Seon Ho not being at Yeon's funeral

I don't really think he was outright forbidden from going BUT

I don't think he was invited either

I don't think he felt welcomed

I don't think he could face them with all the guilt he was carrying i don't think it should all be on his shoulder but he clearly does

I do think that maybe if SOMEONE had reached out he could've been there

Men are less blamed for such actions as they perform hastily and unpremeditatedly than as such as proceed from deliberation. For what reason? but because a hasty temper, though a constant cause or principle in the mind, operates only by intervals, and infects not the whole character.

what really sucks is that i've actually had an incredibly uplifting weekend! i got a job and my first day is tomorrow! we had our last weekend of shows and they all went super well! we had an awesome cast party! i asked out my cast crush and we're planning a date! i got the last few things i needed to make my halloween costume and i can't wait to put it all together!

but of course the rampant toxicity oozing off of my mother makes it so hard to feel good about any of that

Just saw the most infuriatingly incorrect translation of the miette meme into Latin. It’s so grammatically wrong it makes me want to scream!

Today I went to Moulin to get the mithridacy mood for better odds when building spider-popes (the increased yield isn't actually worth the actions used, but I like going out of my way to prepare in this way).

I figured I'd just go home through the mirror like usual, and while I'm there, I could refresh my Glasswork since it had dropped a bit low for no reason whatsoever.

Yes, dear reader, you're right.

I should not have become complacent. I should have looked at the mirror's branch and noticed that it was different than usual (and, in fact, would have had an explicit warning). I should have remembered that having low glasswork means it does not lead me to the Waswood, but rather to the Mirror-Marshes.

Oh well. It's been a long time since I'd last been there. It makes for a nice little vacation.

Seething with rage because my DnD character might be about to die (mini boss fight, unconcious, already failed a death save, and I'm the healer), we won't get to resolve the cliffhanger for three more weeks (my job is making me do fieldwork on our game nights), and on top of everything else happening in my life right now that just feels unfair.
