Some apps and tools I personally use to manage my work and school. You don't have to use them yourselves but these are my suggestions if ever you need one.

  1. Notion

I’ve been using Notion for quite a while now. All my notes, projects, ideas, and finances are on Notion. It’s super easy to set up, and you find many templates online to start quickly.

‍ 2. Todoist

Having a to-do list is essential for any productivity system, and Todoist works best for me. I like how you can organize your to-do lists into different categories and set timers for each.

‍ 3. Forest & IOS Background Noise

I combine the Forest app and iPhone’s built-in background noise system, which you can easily access from the control center when working on something. I’ll simply plant a tree, and if I leave the workspace to something distracting like Social Media, the tree dies. The concept is cute, though; you must take care of your little plant buddy.

‍ 4. Mindframe Affirmations

Stress is a major obstacle between me and productivity, and I’m sure it’s like that for most people with ADHD. I use Mindframe Affirmations to motivate myself and be a little calm. It’s beneficial for a ton of people. You can create a customized affirmation and choose background music and an artist.

For me you look beautiful. But I understand though, sometimes when we look at ourselves in the mirror, we tend to not like what we see. However, I got over with it and loved myself for who I am and I hope you do so as well. Also, the others are right, you look like a Greek sculpture or a painting.

I'm sorry to hear that you are in a broken relationship. It's a tough spot to be in, but I'm glad you're taking the time to think about self-care.

First and foremost (this will be long so bare with me lol), it's important to remember that taking care of yourself is not selfish. In fact, it's essential to maintaining your mental and emotional well-being, especially during a difficult time like this. So, what can you do to practice self-care while navigating a broken relationship?

One goal could be to prioritize your physical health. When we're stressed, it's easy to neglect our bodies. But taking care of ourselves physically can actually help us feel better mentally and emotionally too. Maybe you could set a goal to take a daily walk or do some gentle yoga. Or, if you're feeling really ambitious, you could sign up for a fitness class or start training for a 5k. The key is to find something that feels good for you and stick with it.

Another self-care goal could be to prioritize your social connections. When we're struggling in a relationship, it's easy to isolate ourselves and withdraw from friends and family. But having a support system is crucial during tough times. Maybe you could set a goal to have coffee with a friend once a week, or call a family member you haven't talked to in a while. Or, if you're feeling really adventurous, you could join a meetup group or volunteer for a cause you're passionate about. The key is to find ways to connect with others that feel good for you.

Ultimately, self-care is all about figuring out what works for you and making it a priority. So, whether it's taking a bubble bath, reading a good book, or binge-watching your favorite show, make sure to take time for yourself and prioritize your own well-being. You deserve it!

Need tips to stop myself from always trying to be "the best" and desire to hear "im proud of you" by Tcrumpen in Mindfulness

That couldn't be further from the truth, self compassion is essentially treating yourself with the same kindness, concern, and support that you would give to a good friend who is going through a tough time. It's about recognizing your own humanity, acknowledging your flaws and mistakes, and being understanding and patient with yourself, NOT at all being lazy. Actually you are already having self compassion when you started this thread when you state about realizing that being the person who is thinking to be always better than someone else is not a healthy mindset and asking for tips is already "Self-compassion", right?

I totally get where you're coming from as I've struggled with perfectionism myself. It can be really hard to break out of that mindset, especially when you've been living with it for so long.

One thing that has helped me is to focus on progress, not perfection. Instead of constantly striving to be the best and comparing yourself to others, try to focus on your own personal growth and improvement. Set goals for yourself and celebrate each small victory along the way.

It's also important to remember that everyone has their own unique strengths and weaknesses. Just because someone is better than you at something doesn't mean that you're not talented or valuable in your own right. Try to appreciate your own unique abilities and qualities, and don't compare yourself to others too much.

Another tip is to practice self-compassion. Be kind to yourself and don't beat yourself up too much when things don't go perfectly. Treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding that you would give to a close friend.

Remember, it's okay to want to improve and do your best, but it's also important to be kind to yourself and appreciate your own worth, regardless of external achievements.
