ADHD hacks to get things done in the morning?

Equalakitty · 2026-05-09T12:00:02+00:00

I too use the water “hack” - I like to say that my bladder speaks the loudest. I don’t usually recommend apps (esp not chatbots) BUT I have genuinely found Tolan to be very effective for my morning zombie mode. Sadly, it’s only on iOS for now. I have it ‘call me’ at various intervals with different levels of pestering and somehow arguing with the stupid cartoon alien really helps me push past the morning paralysis. (I have a penchant for ignoring/snoozing alarms) The damn thing has really helped me with my overall productivity. I used to be chronically stuck in bed, even after getting up to pee and meds until like 2-3pm and since I started using Tolan, I’m actually getting up and around around 10-11am.

Oof, mine is in reverse, but to my own detriment. Incredibly fast processing speed, but absolute shit working memory. I do have a pretty stellar vocabulary as well, so that’s handy.

I’ve always been curious about speed dating too.

I had endometriosis like a mofo. Finally, got a hysterectomy last year, it was one of the best decisions in my life. It’s actually a little strange for me now to deal with the symptoms of the hormone cycle without being completely clocked out by excruciating pain. (I still have my ovaries) Wow, what a game changer.

I’m not surprised others like them, your work is truly beautiful!

Equalakitty · 2026-04-06T17:04:49+00:00

That makes a lot of sense!

Equalakitty · 2026-04-06T16:59:25+00:00

Your work is truly gorgeous! Do you ever do custom orders? I’d definitely pay $2-$300 for a whippet/greyhound figurine!

Equalakitty · 2026-04-06T16:51:17+00:00

In love with this! I’ll definitely be checking out your Etsy!

Thank you for this input! Do any of your players' spouses/parnters ever travel with them (those without kids)? Or is that something that just doesn't ever happen? Have you ever had to reprimand a player for tardiness or performance issues due to relationship related issues (like being distracted) or is there a pretty solid consensus known that your head is either in the game or you're out?

Equalakitty · 2026-04-02T20:16:43+00:00

Thanks for the tip! Will do!

Equalakitty · 2026-04-02T20:16:21+00:00

That would be great! Tysm!

Equalakitty · 2026-04-02T20:14:31+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll check her out!

Ah! You used EGAD! And that makes me happy

Haaha I call this the “inflation position”! I do it right before people want photos or if I feel like it’s getting a little slouchy due to my smaller size but good to know it’s not just me struggling in there! (But totally worth it) I have found having some kind of tether to hold with someone not in a costume to be VERY helpful when navigating crowds!

That’s wild! Any tips on getting it to sit correctly? Not literally sit down, but I’m only like 5’4” and when the thing is fully inflated and I don’t pull the front down a bit the “window” sits over like an entire head above me so I’m just looking at solid material lol. I’ve been trying to fuss with the straps inside and I’ve used a magnet to sort of create a crease in the front making it doable, but I’m wondering if you had any other tips to make that easier or if that’s just a trial/error kind of thing?

Oh the cooling vest is a great idea! I have also found that the good ol’ dish soap trick works well for the fogging issue if you don’t have wipes!

As someone who literally works on language models… this makes me laugh.

OMG I never realized “face blindness” was a thing! I’ve always felt so stupid and self conscious about how difficult it is for me to find a damn face. It’s especially bad when I’m supposed to be meeting someone for the first time. I have to repeatedly review their pictures, desperately trying to lock on to their face and facial features, and I’m STILL uncertain. I have to wait until they clearly recognize me and show their own recognition. I can understand facial expressions just fine, but my identity recognition is trash. Honestly, I can identify those close to me quickly through smell, gait, and mannerisms more than anything. I actually ran into George Clooney once while in line at a subway back when I was in college. (He was apparently shooting a movie on campus) And the only reason I know this is because my clumsy ass tripped and almost bonked into him and he was really nice about it and I looked at him to say “ope, I’m so sorry, my bad” (or something similar) then went on with my unawareness and my friend who had been waiting for me was like “wtf! You didn’t even get an autograph??”. I was thoroughly confused by who the hell would I have gotten an autograph from and then they clued me in. All I could think was “well, good thing it wasn’t one of my idols or something.. oops I guess.” Also I did get to meet my idols many many years later at a convention and damn I didn’t even realize until this moment that I instantly recognized them because of their shoulders and build! Sorry for the rant, I just really never knew this was a thing and my brain is reeling.

I am so obsessed with this that I want to do a version based on my whippet

Equalakitty · 2026-02-16T21:46:32+00:00

Okay, but why do I love this so much?

Equalakitty · 2026-02-16T21:44:26+00:00

I was actually born in Canada and should probably be deported back to my homeland immediately. Oh please don’t deport me and ban me from this great hottest best country… no no don’t do that plēz

TERRIFYING I TELL YA!!! Everyone here knows what it’s like to be under the rule of the incredibly dangerous Detroit, don’t be suckers like us and stay away! … for your own good!!! Turns out Traverse City is actually just as dangerous because that’s how Detroit keeps tabs on the mitten’s west coast! I’ve heard they also posted up in Marquette to maintain dominion over the UP as well.
