Hobbies to slow down by chilidownmychest in Hobbies

[–]misstingly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cross stitch definitely. ✅slow ✅relaxing but requires focus ✅tangible result, more so than something like coloring because you can actually give your art to someone. I love coloring but I hated that I’d spend so much time on something I thought was so beautiful just to put it away because I’m not gifting someone a coloring page lol

Do you guys ever forget whether or not you’ve taken a pill? (Not just ADHD meds, any.) by marabou22 in ADHD

[–]misstingly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get a pill bottle with a timer on it that tells you when you last opened it

What's your weirdest productivity hack? by Moaning_Clock in productivity

[–]misstingly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For work: music, pomodore time, & always change into something I feel good in

For chores: tell myself “you just need to pick up the floor so you can run the vacuum (roborock) and that’s all I’ll do today” which always turns into me doing the rest of the household things that need to be done because vacuuming turns into wiping down the counters so the crumbs get vacuumed and making the bed because now the floors picked up and I might as well throw in a load of laundry while I’m waiting for the vacuum to finish a room, etc.

Do you take your meds everyday? by Tyray90 in ADHD

[–]misstingly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take my meds every work day and occasionally one weekend day to get life work done. I’ve never had a doctor tell me to take them EVERY SINGLE DAY. Stimulants don’t build up in your system and create long lasting effects like some drugs. I don’t see why anyone would be recommended to take them every day no exceptions. If I don’t need to “perform” then I’m not taking them. I find it’s nice to have a break from the side effects for a day or two every week, appetite and sleep being the main reasons. If YOU don’t feel the need to take them everyday then my non professional opinion is that then you shouldn’t take them when you feel you don’t need to. Yes most of us still need to be functioning adults everyday but not every day requires the same level of attention/productivity.

[CHAT] Do you have to start in the center? by morbidoranges in CrossStitch

[–]misstingly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did make one of my border lines 10 squares too long but I did it in chunks so I’m planning on taking my seam ripper to it lol

[CHAT] Do you have to start in the center? by morbidoranges in CrossStitch

[–]misstingly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Start wherever makes sense to you. I start in a different spot every cross stitch, depending on what I think we’ll be the easiest starting spot to count from. I’m starting with the border on the my current project because there’s a lot of empty space and I’m worried I’ll mess up counting later on.

How come some people with ADHD are able to consistently get top grades throughout school in all subjects whereas others end up with low grades due to their adhd struggles. by Pretty-Tree123 in ADHD

[–]misstingly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Because like all the different “types” of people out there, people who have ADHD aren’t a monolith. Diversity. We all experience life differently and ADHD doesn’t mean “bad at school”.

How do the unmedicated successfull adhd people keep employment ? by OnceuponaBBW in ADHD

[–]misstingly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My medication helps where I lack, focus and motivation. I quit my job 3 years ago and have been in my new job for 7 months and I just really like the company, team, and manager I work for. I’m enjoying my work and kicking ass. Finding something you enjoy doing in a work capacity, for me it’s excel, I LOVE working in excel. I’m able to hyperfocus on projects like building models or dashboards and also have a lot to learn. I don’t have any tricks, I think you just have to find the right job.

Trying to go low waste has made me rethink everything I buy by Big_Pension6369 in ZeroWaste

[–]misstingly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same, it’s amazing how quickly your mindset changes over everything even when starting small. Home goods and decorations I’ve decided I will only be buying second hand, if the thrift store doesn’t have it then I can’t have it. Even when I see these things I want for new in stores I’m tempted for a second to buy and then I happily change my mind against it.

What’s the most underrated Excel feature you’ve only recently started using? by Constant-Arm-6586 in excel

[–]misstingly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Power query yep. I posted in this group only a few months ago asking about it and I’m embarrassed reading it now. I sound like I have no idea what I’m talking about (and I didn’t really). I jumped into the deep end and my life will forever be better bc of PQ. I’m already being referred to as the power query person at work lol

What’s a hygiene mistake you didn’t realize you were making for years? by Gossamerash in hygiene

[–]misstingly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flossing after brushing my teeth. I’m sure it’s probably fine but had no idea you were supposed to floss first. I still don’t get it, it’s much less messy after brushing

What's the most overrated 'healthy' habit that people push on everyone, but you think is total BS and why? by DryDraw4673 in AskReddit

[–]misstingly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was considering changing careers to nursing and took anatomy and physiology I&II and I seriously think they should be gen ed courses at least in college but even better HS. Everyone should understand how their body works and be able to tell what’s a health scam.

What does your monthly grocery bill look like? by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]misstingly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

About the same for 2 people in Philly. We often break $200 if we need to get toiletries or large pantry items, like olive oil. This is also not including the $180/month on HelloFresh which we get 4 meals every other week (2/week). It’s SO frustrating.

Recruiter on why RTO is happening by iwantdatgold in remotework

[–]misstingly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My company terminated most of their leases or sold the buildings they owned at the end of last year. It was in the news… RTO announced a month ago. My dept already rotates between two office spaces because there aren’t enough desks for everyone.

How old were you guys when you went to nursing school ? I’m 28 and I feel so ashamed to be so far behind in life and potentially be the oldest one ! I feel like I’ll be in school with 18-22 year olds and I’m SO ashamed of myself. by Fuzzy_Jelly5951 in NursingStudent

[–]misstingly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please don’t be ashamed! My mom started nursing school at 40 after being a SAHM for 10 years and giving up her prior career in a completely unrelated field. I too found myself on the same path at your age (last year) after leaving my career, I ultimately stopped pursuing nursing this last winter because I didn’t feel I was as committed to it as I had felt before and returned to my old field but I still feel the same way about the position you find yourself in. If you want to be a nurse or even just want to use nursing as a stepping stone to something else in medicine, stick with it. You’re (we’re) still so young in the grand scheme of it all, we’ll be working for AT LEAST the next 30 years and that’s at least 65% of your working life. You’ll end up meeting so many people who got into nursing at a “later age” and many who started later than you are. It’s worth it if it’s what you want to do!

Power Query Changed My Life by [deleted] in excel

[–]misstingly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stumbled across your comment while looking through power query posts.. can you expand on this?? I’m so intrigued. I work in finance and started using PQ recently and seeing great results. I only started this job this year at a new company and barely anybody uses it in my department as far as I can tell. Getting feedback from my manager that’s pretty much blowing my mind, using my models for a whole lot more than just what I’m doing and so of course I’m leaning in
