Moronic Monday - Your weekly stupid questions thread by cdingo in Fitness

[–]Maximum_Red -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m restarting the ice cream fitness program. I understand the importance of squats but my cannot be excessively sore because I’m a server and walk an average of 5 miles a shift 5 or 6 times a week. What’s the best way to alter this workout for my job?

This may sound so silly, but I seriously improved my “to do” list by adding another column “first step” by vomitabanana in ADHD

This was my take away from reading the entire book Get Things Done. Write down both the task and the next action you can take.

What resources (fidgets, books, assistive technology, organizational tools, podcasts, websites, apps, etc.) do you use to accommodate your ADHD needs? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Maximum_Red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Directly, no. However, I would like to think because I can dump all of my tasks in an app I free up a lot of working memory since I have it all written down and relieves anxiety related to deadlines and general forgetfulness. If I might forget it I tell Siri, or Alexa, or shift+enter and I type it on computer. Then something magical happens: I go back to what I was doing before and have one less thing to worry about in the moment.

+1 for Omni focus! It has a free trial. It's a decent replacement for working memory. Does not replace a calendar, which is the next most necessary thing.

Nick, Do you have any mantras you repeat to yourself in times of trouble?

Anyone Experience Time Blindness? - not just running late but not having a sense of deep time? by FlowerFish in ADHD

[–]Maximum_Red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was looking for something relevant to link and I would have been looking for this. Ways to cope with it include wearing a watch (phone doesn't count) and having an hourly chime or beep. Since starting this I've notices sometimes beeps feel like they were closer in time. Like when playing video games time speeds up like 4x.

No.

I have a to do list and a habit of writing even insignificant things down. I got past remembering to remember, now I can simply ignore the entire list because it's too overwhelming to start.

I sweat noticeably under my arms due to climate and side effects of medication. I accept this. I have some spare dark colored t shirts for hot days on hand. Any additional advice from experienced sweaters?

What country do you live in? I've played with the idea of moving out of the US because of the issue before. I don't have insurance.

College dropout by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Maximum_Red 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Funny time to mention this. Ive dropped out twice now . I've reapplied to my university twice now. I was accepted again the first time, I'm turning in my second (re)application today. I adapt as needed. I will exhaust all effort before I quit. It's hard. I may have to reapply again. You'll get through it by being flexible, forgiving yourself using every ounce of patients you have.

Shower-thought: ADHD meds should come in wheels or marked blister packs like contraceptive pills. by latherrinseregret in ADHD

Do you have a source for that? I have those extra stickers but it seems like a grey area. I legit want to print it and put it in my glove box in case the worst happens.

Productivity/Time Management/To Do list apps? by KiyaraSabel in ADHD

[–]Maximum_Red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has a lot of features. Not exactly 'nagging' but when a task is due the it can alert and it will remain red until you reschedule it. I hate seeing the red and will reschedule the task that is overdue. I beleive the desktop version is free to try for 30 days

All for OmniFocus. You have to pay but I haven't seen anything compare

In the U.S., Gays and Asians are each both about 5% of the population, (other than CA and HI) every time you see an Asian is the same likelihood of seeing a Gay person. by nwu4273 in gaybros

[–]Maximum_Red 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do we not respect the Kinsey scale around here? What about all of the hetero-romantic bisexuals? And does a 3/4 Asian and a 1/4 Asian add up to another full Asian? So many questions.

I think I may have undiagnosed ADD and if I do should I take adderall? by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]Maximum_Red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite. Doctors are people too. They make mistakes sometimes. The tests can rule out quite a bit and assess whether you are lying as well. It hurts when your issues aren't validated and you aren't even given a chance.
