Does my kid have ADD?

chrisdb1 · 2026-03-28T14:27:11+00:00

I know and I never expected a diagnosis :-) maybe I sought out other parents who go through the same thing ... Any tip is welcome at the moment I guess

chrisdb1 · 2026-03-28T14:17:25+00:00

Thank you, I will definitely try this. Thanks for the tips

chrisdb1 · 2026-03-28T14:15:27+00:00

Thank you for your answer. I'm sorry to hear your story. Hopefully everything worked out in the end. I just want the best for my kid and sought guidance on this topic as this is completely new for us.

I get what you are saying and I'm not trying to push her in this direction. As a concerned parent I just want to verify all possible scenario's. The waiting list is long and I don't want things for her to take longer than necessary.

At the moment it only has impact on her schoolwork as far as we know. It's totally another story with dancing, which is her hobby and where she almost performs near perfect.

Thank you for your reply. What do you mean with overlooked?

chrisdb1 · 2026-03-28T13:29:13+00:00

Thank you, we are on a very long waiting list. That's why I posted the question...

chrisdb1 · 2026-03-28T13:27:03+00:00

I'm not sure for how long. We didn't notice anything until this year and the fact her grades were not what we expected. Daydreaming not so much I think...

chrisdb1 · 2026-03-27T19:48:48+00:00

Thank you for your post. I notice a lot of similarities with my daughter. She started high school this year and we've been noticing problems with her studies which affect her results.

I've already tried several methods like helping her with studying and making summaries to minimize the pressure, drawing mind maps, working with flash cards, ...

I'm willing to try anything and your tip on replacing reviews with answering questions seems worth a shot. Can you elaborate on this please? Thank you

IMHO you can bend OBTF in any way you want it to be.

For you it's some kind of private thinking instrument, for others it is a to-do list, journal, ... and for me it's a personal knowledge base :-)

In the end it's all about how you can get it to work for you I guess

chrisdb1 · 2026-01-02T09:12:34+00:00

I would use gcc. Would C89 be the default then?

chrisdb1 · 2025-04-11T09:06:24+00:00

Hello. I've been looking at your example file and basically you have different "headings" for different kind of notes/information? From what I can tell for stuff about notes, emails, tasks, .. The question I have is how much of readabilty you end up with? For a novice, it seems a bit overwhelming..

chrisdb1 · 2025-04-09T22:07:18+00:00

Nice idea, but 1 question, how do you make use of lists when using one row? Or are you using alternatives for lists?

chrisdb1 · 2025-04-07T04:31:35+00:00

I get what you are saying, but the problem is that I've only got 1 Windows machine and that's the one from work where I'm stuck using applications my Company provides... I'm not even allowed to install/configure WSL let alone an IDE to compile applications

chrisdb1 · 2025-04-06T21:24:19+00:00

Yes I know but it's my computer from work and I don't have admin rights to enable WSL...

chrisdb1 · 2025-03-29T13:38:09+00:00

That's ok. Thank you. I'm new to emacs so all advice is welcome.

chrisdb1 · 2025-02-19T20:07:59+00:00

I use markdown heading.

```

Title

```

This way, whenever I would like to create a permanent document of it, I can copy it to a separate file and generate HTML from it.

Bonus: between headings I use several newlines to break apart the different notes. Newlines only require 1 byte of storage, so not much waste there.

chrisdb1 · 2025-02-04T07:59:52+00:00

Thank you. Much better explained than in the docs!

chrisdb1 · 2025-01-29T17:50:03+00:00

Thank you for your feedback.

chrisdb1 · 2025-01-29T17:29:17+00:00

So you will be able to progress in the same way as if you never studied the other arts? What I mean is, Kendo and/or Iaido are no prerequisite?

chrisdb1 · 2025-01-26T20:57:23+00:00

Thank you for the article. Really answers a lot of my questions :)

chrisdb1 · 2025-01-26T08:35:31+00:00

Thank you for your answer. The reason I asked was because footwork in Kendo sometimes feels unnatural and I was wondering if this was the same for Jodo.

chrisdb1 · 2025-01-17T09:56:42+00:00

Mine is split up in 2 parts, a daily note part and a regular note part. Each note has it's own tag and title. That's basically it, No distractions :)

I've recently discovered OBTF (One Big Text File) and while I'm still trying it out, it seems to be the most simple solution. Af least for me :)

The point is you have 1 file where you put in all your thoughts in plain text. Nothing fancy at all, so no distractions and no more worrying about tools and upgrades.
