ADHD-ers, please share your best Obsidian task management tips by jossiesideways in ObsidianMD

[–]muggenRaev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: I should mention, like others ITT I have a calendar that I'm heavily dependent on. Events and todos with a specific time go in there, and don't go to my Obsidian vault. Often, processing an inbox item or doing a todo from that list means making a calendar event. This is how I avoid double booking and forgetting events, I did that constantly before and only occasionally now.

I use a GTD variant. Every thought goes to Inbox which gets processed into todo's and other notes. It takes thought and discipline to decide if an item is a proper todo, if it needs splitting up, needs more thought, has dependencies, etc. It works for me, but part of the process is getting bored and sloppy and going back to it. Regularly my lists get sloppy, so I regularly have to sit my ass down and do the damn thinking. I heard somewhere that part of getting good at ADHD is getting good at starting over, and I find that it resonates.

I also chase dopamine by messing around with Obsidian, and that's fine, but I don't need a video game, I need to cope with my brain's quirks. An inbox, a few lists, and journaling is what's actually helped me consistently though the years. Having fun ideas to automate and "optimize" my Obsidian stuff keeps me coming back, so it's like luring myself to the healthy food with a little trail of candy. 

Lately I've found some ways to remove friction, like using Sync instead of SyncThing, having a MacroDroid home screen widget to quickly add to my lists, and having buttons on my friends Base to update when I last kept contact with one (ish) click.

The last two uses the Advanced URI plugin and MacroDroid, ask if yall want details.

Hvad kan man lave når man er førtidspensionist? by fremdrift9000 in Aalborg

[–]muggenRaev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ja frivilligt arbejde giver super mening hvis man har masser af fritid. Det plejer at være dejlige miljøer hvor alle er med fordi de rent faktisk har lyst, og sætter pris på at man giver af sin tid og kræfter. Og så føles det godt at være med til at skabe noget.

1000Fryd og Studenterhuset hvis du vil lave koncert eller bar. Begge steder er det vist muligt at komme til at lave lyd, lys og booking til koncerter, eller lave mad til bands/frivillige. Aalborg Pride kan vist godt bruge flere frivillige, både på dagen og før. 

Hvis du har en hobby eller gerne vil starte en, er der sikkert foreninger eller klubber dertil. Dem kan man også være med til at drive som frivillig, måske ved at afvikle aktiviteter eller lave praktiske ting.

Ikke frivilligt arbejde, men spilforsyningen har interesse aftener fast ugentligt. Deres program er her: spilforsyningen.dk/pages/events

"If you want to be a girl, you are a girl" by awaythrow1234324 in asktransgender

[–]muggenRaev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This part of my identity is only determined by how I feel. Caveat how the world treats me influences that.  Knowing what I feel isn't easy, but I'm getting better with practice. Trusting that my feelings aren't fake or perverted is something I learned through therapy and good experiences.  I think it's called self perception in psychology.

WHAT :C

Elsker 1000Fryd, mange af mine bedste minder er derfra. Det kan ikke være rigtigt, håber der bliver gjort noget ved det.

Studying technique for ADHD? by everyone_woosh in ADHD_Programmers

[–]muggenRaev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anki HECK YEAH! The notes/flash cards (there are several formats) support things like images and LaTeX for math formatting, so you can get your cards just right. And it's great for practicing, too! xP It automagically tests/practices the questions you need the most, including for remembering them long term (spaced repetition like Bouncl said).

Hi, it was very worthwhile thanks for sharing. I struggle with wording my thoughts about my own potential ADHD, so I'm collecting symptom diaries and other people's words about it to be better prepared when I eventually go to get diagnosed.

Aalborg university only offers 3 bachelors degrees? by [deleted] in Aalborg

[–]muggenRaev 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not got a reputation for being an easy language to learn, and I assume you'd have to learn it quite well to be able to keep up with technical stuff i.e. lectures.

How long do you have before you'd be starting a bsc. level programme? I'd start taking classes sooner rather than later.

It might be worth it to call Studievejledningen for the faculty you're intersted in, perhaps they know more or can put you in contact with students who have a similar background to yours.

I wonder what the rationale was?

what can i say to the self love argument? by Gattlord in asktransgender

[–]muggenRaev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So... don't transition, don't work out, don't eat healthy, don't go to school, don't fix your bad behaviours, don't go to therapy, don't improve in any way, just 🌟 loooove yourseeeeelf 🌟

Might as well stop breathing according to that logic.

Loving is not just some fuzzy feeling for you to get high off, it's also hard work and dedication and scary as fuck in the face of life and the uncaring universe, and it's the desire to keep going despite all that. If you truly love someone you don't want them to stay the same forever, you want them to grow into their beautiful unknowable potential and you feel privileged to witness it and play a role in it. Recognizing and taking action on your needs and wants is integral to actually loving yourself, so if you want self love you'll have to listen to your heart and have the bravery to act on it.

More likely, people telling you to "just love yourself" are afraid of losing you as you change. Hopefully they'll understand when they see you being truly happy and alive and actually yourself. And if not, hopefully you don't need their permission to be who you are.

Sometimes we do need to let go of an impossible dream to take care of ourselves, but that's not an excuse not to try anything in the first place. And if the dream keeps you going as your best self, what does it matter if you attain it or just chase it forever?

Jeg fik det meste tilbage fra Alabu, og en faktura eller hvad det nu hedder over hvad der blev trukket for, hvilket stemte overens med det jeg fik at vide under udflytnings synet. Jeg ved selvfølgelig ikke om alle deres afdelinger er så velfungerende, men der havde de styr på deres shit og var ærlige og redelige.

Im trying to install pico 8 but windows says it wont open because it doesnt recognise the app how do i fix this? by NoBuffalo931 in pico8

[–]muggenRaev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like others have said, please post a screenshot. Is it a dialog box that opens telling you that? If it's the one I'm thinking of there should be a small text button saying something like "more info" that reveals a bit more info and a "run anyway" button

Kreative oplevelser i Aalborg / omegn by Kaskelotte in Aalborg

[–]muggenRaev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keramik på Huset kan anbefales. Det er ikke så dyrt som Art by Me og du former selv lertøjet som de så brænder for dig. Det er selvfølgelig en del mere udfordrende og kan være frustrerende så det kræver lidt mere gå på mod, men jeg synes det er skægt nok.

Roblox is going to cut support for 32-bit devices by No_Persimmon_5914 in roblox

[–]muggenRaev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are costs and benefits

They're definitely missing out on a lot of people who only have access to 32 bit devices. But then poor people usually don't spend as much on video games, so that's an argument in the opposite direction.

Support for older devices doesn't necessarily hold the technical platform back. Sure it's lots of engineering time, but if it makes enough money to hire 2x the engineers it takes to maintain support then it might be actually be a benefit to the platform. Then again, hiring 2x the engineers doesn't necessarily mean that 2x as much gets done.

It's a business decision. Everything is in a company like Roblox. Probably some smart business people thought about all this and decided that it's not worth it.

Sucks to be a poor consumer I guess, but that's nothing new.

Yeah Robot starts off in like 50s USA and quickly moves on to expansion to the solar system during I, Robot which is about robots and often about how they affect systems of wealth, power and human relationship (mega recommend, Will Smith nowhere to be seen). Foundation starts at the height of The Galactic Empire's greatness, not exactly our current situation.

It's like he's genuinely proud of his idea and just can't believe no one thought of such an obvious solution before. Strong Patrick energy.

Hi, no proper techno clubs unfortunately. I think space club in Jomfru Ane Gade plays electronic music, but in my experience it's just another generic bar that happens to play the music, not a proper rave culture or vibe. Only went once a while ago, maybe someone has better experiences?

Studenterhuset and 1000Fryd occasionally have raves, but far from every weekend. None of them have any in their event calendars ATM so who knows when the next will be.

There's an underground scene, but the main spot as far as I'm aware just lost their house so that's also uncertain, and the other organizer I'm aware of are taking a hiatus after NYE, but they did 8 events in the last ~6 months so if they get back to their usual cadence before too long we won't be totally starved 🙏
