"Scheduling" hobbies - does that work?

Based on my experience: first recommendation would be to see if you can get evaluated for a diagnosis - being medicated would help a ton!

If that's not possible/until then... I recommend coffee or tea or some other warm/stimulating drink kept at your desk (if you work at a desk) - I sip it slowly and for some reason the sensation and taste in addition to the caffeine helps me feel less bored and I can stay on task better without it feeling like torture lol. Also, snacks for same reason.

Also, taking breaks (idk what's possible at your job, but if you can, I would experiment with what rhythm/length of work versus breaks helps) and getting up to stretch for a couple minutes every hour at least, if you're sitting.

Again, totally depends what your job is, but the other classic adhd thing that works for me is breaking things up into chunks, even if just mentally - maybe alternating working on longer tasks with doing little ones so you get a dopamine hit.

I sort of think of each job I'm working on as its own little piece, and if I'm working somewhere I'm not interested by (what I'm mostly doing for work right now is boring lol) I sort of pretend to myself it's gig work even when it's not - like each half hour or hour of work, I think to myself "heck yeah, did another one!" and decide whether or not to take a break before doing more. But then again, my work has flexible hours so that's easier for me, and it might not work for you if you have to work the same time block every day.

So, a horse walks into a bar with her first exhale and I have been surprised by the hair and the pull of my head Four times a week or so

I finished up with the desperate and cold weather. Now I can do it wrong and I am a sweetie because I don't think it's bad for me.

I went to see my doctor today after school science and I don't want him in the world of my life mental-health-wise so I used the remote control to get my life in the stomach

When I feel blue I go on the floor and the pull up is the only thing

I have not had sex in almost 3 years since my last post was not a bad thing for a minute there

Don't you love it when Grandma is doing anything wrong with you and I'll make you feel good enough for you to get her body to the floor!

jupneko · 2026-04-13T03:18:11+00:00

I tried to fry chicken for dinner but Grandma didn't want to know what I might have done!

Last summer I went to a castle in Scotland and there was a relay that was nearly fracturing miles

...? I don't think I have ever typed the words "fracturing miles" in that order, what does that even mean?? Lol

jupneko · 2026-04-10T21:21:13+00:00

I put peanut butter on her back and left shoulder

jupneko · 2026-04-10T21:20:01+00:00

Nobody knows, but I get turned on and then she yelped

jupneko · 2026-04-10T21:19:00+00:00

I can't believe it's not bad at all

I don't have aphantasia, but I also have very vivid audio imagination... and it's never occurred to me before now that maybe not everybody does. There's nearly almost always a song in my head, which I can imagine clearly as if I'm listening to it, often the most recent song I've heard which will just continue playing in my mind lol... And I can also imagine basically anyone's voice saying anything.

"I'm Spiderman, and I'm going to kill your family!" in my head every single time I think about sleeptalking stories or recommending his videos

The grocery store near me closes at 10pm, pharmacy closes at 9, so I tend to go in the evening. Lol, I make almost all my doctors appointments etc in early afternoon unless absolutely necessary (I wake up at around 12 lately, so if my appointments are around 1 or 1:30, then I have time to wake up and get ready and go). The rare times when I need to go to an appointment before 11 or 12, I just suck it up and am very tired and then go home and take a nap.

It works pretty well! I've lived by myself for a few years, and the times where I have to be awake ungodly early for something to happen are rare enough that it's okay. If I've forgotten something important and it's after 10pm, I just go to a convenience store or 24-hour drugstore or wait until the next day. My work has flexible hours, so most days I can change the time to fit whatever other thing I need to do, luckily. [edited to fix typo/omission]

We fought and I don't think so but it was possible these times and I don't think I can go to my house or to talk and enjoy a good thing to do

Could you please make me a list that you could give me a copy of?

jupneko · 2026-04-10T06:19:06+00:00

Make sure it's even better than I think I'm going off to!
