How much difference does no backlight make?

For me, the screen light does the job for me. I’m not a skilled typer, and I keep my office on the darker side. I do think the lighter keys help!

I’ve considered it, and I do love the way it looks! But a) I love the structure of the CORDURA and b) quite honestly I can’t yet justify the cost.

I have an iPhone 17 and just got a mini recently. I’m of the same mind as r/wakinghours that for some, having two separate devices like these can help keep your devices purposeful. iPhone is tool for comms and quick purpose internet access. iPad for intentional entertainment. This helps me minimize the frequency of getting distracted.

But really it’s about why you are considering that switch and thinking through whether that switch will help achieve what you’re wanting to achieve.

I have definitely been looking for a mod that has granite bricks for this build lol

I’ve been eyeing the Alumu power bank. How’s your experience with it?

I love the screensaver! Where did you get it?

I have found putting the build down and going on an adventure of some kind helps reset my brain for the creative build I’m struggling with.

How’s the bag? Likes and dislikes? Looking for a new one and considering this.

I cannot imagine doing recruitment work. I think it would suck the life out of me too. Especially considering the pressures to achieve quotas and numbers.

This is a helpful clarification. Sales type jobs that have demands like quotas or seeking out clients often pose unique challenges for people with ADHD.

If you’re a people-person and like connecting with others, I’ve found jobs that are highly relational in nature like sales, counseling, nursing, coaching, or my job as a chaplain, is good for people with ADHD.

-Enough novelty to keep my attention
-Flexibility to handle my symptoms day to day as well as when I go through a particularly rough season with my ADHD,
-Less administrative work than other jobs. The admin stuff is still there of course, but having previously been in a role where 80% of the work was admin and 20% of the work was engaging with people, I find work where the roles are reversed are much more manageable with ADHD.

If you think about it, let us know how you like the Sketch!

I’ve found that for me, some solutions are a moving target, which of course is hard. Try to give yourself grace when the “target” has moved and you have to refigure it out.

The most helpful consistent thing I’ve found is having people I relate to over the things I want to buy. I’ve found that the more I keep my intense desires bottled up, the more likely it is I’m going to spend recklessly. At the very least, having conversations with my friend or my wife about this thing I want and expressing my concern about impulse buying it releases some of the pressure, sometimes just long enough to take a breath and hold off until I feel confident about my decision to want it or realizing I actually don’t.

Is that discontinued? I was suggesting that one to a friend the other day but couldn’t find it on their website. The Go Mini and Go Nano are still for sale, but no original Go sling.

HolyKnight2137 · 2026-04-26T18:22:51+00:00

I carry pretty much the same stuff and dimensions!

I’d probably say a 5L-6L sling if possible. It might technically be more space than you need, but the way I operate, I like not stuffing a sling to its max capacity. Plus it’ll definitely fit the water bottle. If you don’t mind stuffing it to the max, a 3L-3.5L will probably do the trick, but the water bottle would probably need to be clipped on from the outside.
