I SWEAR TO GD I GOT FUCKING RICKROLL

Your gender is now the first randomized wikipedia article you get. No rerolls.

the worst part about being an adult is thay its no longer socially acceptable to just roll down a really big hill and then run back up it and roll back down again. "oh is this a syphilis metaphor" passerby would ask. "is this for a tick tock". no i just wanna come home covered in dirt and scratches and bask in the the solace of childlike mirth

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

I think people should be allowed to sleep in the same bed in a non sexual and non romantic way. I think cuddles can happen non sexually and non romantically. I think most acts of affection are non sexual and non romantic until you make it sexual or romantic (other than the obvious things like actual sex is sexual)

i’ve begun saying people “obviously aren’t in a romantic relationship, they have something deeper and more intimate going on” as this seems to confuse and upset alloromantics

(ID: a banner with text over the aro flag. the text says: i don't care about blorbotags go wild but this post is about hating the hierarchial system of relationships & if you're mad about it you're probably been poisoned by ace discourse brainworms. and are also proving my point. /end ID)

(edit: hai. the main version of this post that's going round has the lesbian, bi, trans, nonbinary, ace and aro flags attached to a reblog. here's a link to a version of the post that also has intersex, genderfluid, aroace, pan, bear, leather kink, genderqueer, polyamorous and mlm flags. for completeness. hope you're all having a great day and had a good pride month.)

@lost-my-sanity1

no flawless catch-all solutions BUT there are some things that can actually really help, at least in my experience (not that i don't still struggle with getting things done, but it has gotten markedly better in the past year or two with some adjusting of tricks and a lot of practice). These are obviously coming from the context of how my own life is structured, but that's obviously all I can speak from!

1) lists. I think mostttt people with adhd find lists to be extremely helpful. That said, find the way that lists work best for you. Personally, i like to make certain lists in the notes app on my phone. Because I know i'll check the time on there first thing in the morning. (However, if looking at your phone first thing would throw off your day, then I might suggest having your list in a notebook instead and keeping the phone out of immediate reach. Like, if I'm doing a Task that doesn't require my phone you can bet it will be somewhere I can't see it.) I make the list and leave it open the night before, so that it's the first thing i see when i unlock my phone in the morning. I especially like to do this for morning routines, which can really set the tone for the day going forward. I've found that starting the day with exercise is really helpful (i know i know. but for real, it gets your brain moving and gets the dopamine going—you know, that dopamine that our brains produce less of and are always seeking. And it can definitely generate some energy even if I wake up feeling dead)—and the morning lists have helped me be more consistent with that habit too. (But again, find the thing you like. For me it's hulahooping to music haha.) For morning lists specifically, I recently heard some advice that has completelyyyy changed the game for me and that is having more than ONE. I have three. One I call the Full Morning List, one the Shorter Morning List, and the other the Hurry Scurry Morning List xD It takes the decision-making out of what to do or what to skip depending on how much time I have. After some initial trial, each list has been marked with the latest time I can start it. If it's past that time I know to use a different list.

It helps keep me from hitting the "oh no I failed at my list and have been thrown off and my habits are ruined and my day is meaningless" wall. Whatever is being "skipped" or shortened or done differently based on your schedule or when you wake up is predetermined by you (wow, now i'm ready for work on time AND didn't skip washing my face no matter what? amazing, 10/10. because none of my lists skip THAT STEP in order to be faster, because I made sure of that when writing them) and there is still the satisfaction of having gotten a list DONE. (I also fill my morning lists with cute emojis and write them out with sweet little ways of phrasing things. Like yes I WILL start my list with "good morning darling ☺️💕" and follow it with "stretch to greet the day :D" or "take iron <33" because that just makes it feel cozy and motivational or like someone is looking out for me lmao. Again, whatever works and makes the day feel like it's starting off on good footing.)

2) get important things done first thing. Start it before giving yourself a moment to question it. Of course that won't always happen, but that's ok. Other times, regardless of when you start, plan on just doing a little. On certain days, a little will turn into a lot! Even if that doesn't happen, it will at least chip away at something that needs to get done, little by little. An extreme example of this is actually how I dealt with homework in high school... I struggled SO BAD with overdue work. The program I was in (very different from the usual, I know) was extremely self-driven with its schedule and also allowed you to work into the summer if needed. As you might imagine, this was freakin horrible for me. So yeah, I spent most of high school not having summer breaks because i was trying to catch up on all my assignments. (Awful. Not a fun time. I was very miserable. Would not revisit this time if you paid me.) It didn't help that I was disinterested in most of the work either, or that the teachers offered like zero support. I remember that finally, senior year, my mom told me— "you don't need to try and finish anything. Just work for an hour a day. And then you can be done." I was skeptical of this idea at first, because there was so much to do. So many assignments to actually complete. But then I tried it. And it literally worked. Only an hour. Every day. Week by week. And it WORKED. I was free to do whatever I wanted after that hour, and during the hour I GOT THINGS DONE. Even if it wasn't a ton of work, I was actually doing it and consistently, and suddenly my assignments were actually getting finished. I was less stressed and MORE productive and suddenly felt like I had so much more time?? And then wow, when I got to college, the time management practices that which did work for me (and believe me I tried so many failed methods along the way. so many forms of list keeping until I found what worked) meant I was the kid in class who was actually submitting things on time on a regular basis. And I was so proud of myself. (Worth noting that in college the deadlines were weekly whereas again, in high school the due-dates essentially meant nothing. In a sense, the real 'deadline' was the beginning of the next school year. Which I point out to say this: it is important to break things into smaller pieces!! manageable! chunks!!! make it manageable!)

3) make things fun for yourself wherever you can. tailor them to your interests or find ways to make them spark some joy. For me this usually involves playing music. I have playlists devoted to certain "vibes". For example, there's a list on spotify called Ghibli Summer that I found, and I love listening to it while I clean. It makes me feel like a little main character sprucing up her cottage in the woods. Sometimes I dress the part too! I used to not be able to function when it was raining (with sun came inspiration and energy) but the playlist thing helped overcome that when I literally never thought it was something I could get myself around. I only thought of it last year and the music thing is sooooo good.

4) follow your list as a guide! to remind you what's next because yeah, distractions happen otherwise. If you get really into your list then go with it and let hyperfocus do its thing, but otherwise allow breaks!! And again, if you can make those breaks something you love, GOOD. (Especially if they won't exponentially eat up time or you have a way to mark the ends.) I LOVE to cook so sometimes a break might involve taking the time to, i don't know, make fried rice or something and enjoy every part of the process. It's so meditative and deeply fulfilling imo? Idk, something about creating something yummy (i adore food ok) and chopping things and the smells and the hands-on aspect and the colors... Or maybe my break would be watching a new episode of a show that has finally aired! (Did that just tonight to recharge after work before ironing something for my sister.) Or going on tumblr for a while, or doing a craft, etc etc. The framing of this can be super important, too. Again, whatever works best for you. Personally, I like to think of it as my day having a flow, where I recharge for whatever is next and take time to enjoy the pieces of it as best I can. Like, it's about taking care of myself and whether its a list item or not its just as important. (Rather than thinking of it as like, "I have tasks and am taking breaks in between before getting back to The Tasks." That's just depressing imo. So, I don't really think of the breaks as. Being breaks. If that makes sense? It's more like... a point along a circle that fills my cup and keeps me rotating in a healthy way? idk lol. gonna stop attempting metaphors now) EDIT: didn’t mention yesterday but I think this is an important aspect. Whatever I do next isn’t just any like, random fun thing—it’s about tuning in to yourself and feeling what you need emotionally or physically rn. Sometimes what I do isn’t even a “fun thing” but is like. A well-placed shower. It’s about self care as much as joyful practices!

5) be gentle with yourself. I really can't overstate this. ignoring this point just ends with more stress. sometimes it feels like you're just trying everything and nothing works, or feels like you just can't keep up with anything ever. I feel this sentiment often, but.... don't blame yourself. And don't consider all progress ruined because of it. Keep going, trying your best, I promise that is valuable and even the smallest growth or achievement is something worthy of celebration. Like yeah, I celebrate doing the literal smallest things. Because that makes me happy. That inspires me to do more things. Allowing yourself to be proud of yourself can be so important honestly. But yeah: some days, a certain item will not get done. Sometimes you're not feeling a certain task, but maybe you're feeling another one— in which case, swap it out!! Go with the inspiration!! (This is how I finally ended up hand washing the pile of clothes that had been sitting in my room for. Dare I say it? Well. Many months.) Other times you just need a break day, and honestly, if need that and you can then just take it. Take the break. Lastly, sometimes not everything on a list will get done and it will get moved to tomorrow. Or the day after. It happens. Let's be real, it happens to everyone.

.

Last thing I wanna add is that... deadlines can still be helpful. But the thing is. Like any tactic, you have to use them right and with proper supporting tactics. Use them only as far as they are truly helpful, and obviously not to a self-detrimental extent. For me, I have never found that it's the stress of a deadline that really helps—quite the opposite, stress makes it harder for me to function—but rather the organization of a deadline. (Well, that and the fact that someone besides myself was keeping me accountable lol.) It was also the fact that it tells my brain "oh, yeah that thing should happen now." Whereas otherwise my brain is like "yeah we have time" and then proceeds to have a very strange idea of how time works. Taking note of things like that—why a method works—is so important! It can give you ideas about what else can be helpful and might be worth a try :)

There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function

[bromantically]

u seriously have to let go of the idea that "man" and "woman" are totally separate. u have to be comfortable w the idea that identities are way more complex than a binary. if u wanna break the binary u HAVE to accept that there are identities thatll blur and coexist in ways that are only truly contradictory if ur still adhering to the gender binary u claim to reject. sometimes women are gay men. sometimes men are lesbians. these are not impossible and theyre not contradictory, theyre just experiences that exist because man and woman are just 2 genders out of countless others, not opposites
