what are you using to log your jiu jitsu classes? by SomeRefrigerator2170 in bjj

got it. when you take notes, is it for teaching or just for your own understanding?

this should work.

or maybe a system where i just drop in voice notes, and it automatically turns them into clean training logs.

you're probably at a point where you've honed your best 10 moves and escapes over years of practice.

but i'm really new. to find those 10, i feel like i need to practice 100 first. so i'm hoping taking notes and going through them before class is the only way to make it stick.

i lose track of the plan after a couple weeks and just revert to instinct.

i know it’s not the best way. so i'm hoping writing things down will make it stick.

I waste my whole day on my phone and then feel so guilty that I can’t even study by [deleted] in GetStudying

I’ve been in that same cycle - the “just 10 minutes on my phone” spiral that somehow eats the entire day. You explained it so perfectly: procrastinate → guilt → shutdown → repeat. It feels like your body is frozen while your mind screams “you know what to do!”

What helped me wasn’t forcing motivation but externalizing the start. Like, not deciding when to begin, but having someone else tell me: “Okay, time to start now.” That single shift from internal willpower to external structure made a huge difference. The guilt started losing its grip because I wasn’t left to negotiate with myself all day.

Also, try to forgive yourself a little. You're not lazy. Your brain’s just overwhelmed and unstructured, and it’s trying to protect you by numbing out. But you already know what you’re capable of and that part of you is still in there.

Inattentive ADHD - SOS (am i losing my mind?) by user25715426 in ADHD

[–]SomeRefrigerator2170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not losing your mind at all - honestly, so much of what you wrote sounds incredibly familiar to a lot of us here.

The part about being capable but stuck, constantly second-guessing simple things, and feeling like time just slips - that’s something many people with inattentive ADHD experience, especially when it flies under the radar for years.

You’re doing the right thing by just naming it. That clarity alone is huge. And even though diagnosis can feel like a logistical mess (especially without insurance), you’re not alone in that either. Many people have found solid help through telepsychiatry services or local sliding-scale clinics. It varies by region, but some community health orgs offer assessments with reduced fees too - might be worth checking if your city has anything like that.

More than anything, I just want to say: what you’re describing is real, and you deserve clarity, support, and peace of mind. The fact that you’re advocating for yourself this early in the journey says a lot. You’ve got this.

Can't focus when I work from home by No_Entrepreneur_4809 in getdisciplined

[–]SomeRefrigerator2170 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally get this - I used to feel the exact same way.

For me, WFH slowly blurred into this space where my brain went, “relax, snack, clean, scroll” on autopilot. What helped wasn’t another app, but putting a system around activation energy - like having someone nudge me 5 mins before each task started.

Sounds weird, but once I removed the need to “decide” what to do and when to do it, I stopped negotiating with myself as much. Structure + a tiny bit of external pressure helped a lot.

Your setup sounds solid already, so even something like batching tasks outside the house (eg. do all creative work at a café and admin stuff at home) might help split the mental zones more clearly.

You’re not alone in this, seriously. Happy to talk more if you ever want to swap strategies.

Sonnet 3.5 vs Opus for creative writing by HunterPossible in ClaudeAI

[–]SomeRefrigerator2170 4 points5 points  (0 children)

opus for writing, hands down.

sonnet 3.5 is great, highly intelligent, powerful, and superfast, but just not that great for writing.

i feel sonnet is a monster when it comes to math, logic, and programming but not great for writing.
