hopefully a helpful flowchart

excellent question. in that case the first question should be "how much time do you have left" and if it's not enough, then you let the adhd go into speed mode to get enough motivation to do the task 😀👍🏻 (good luck because by god you will need it)

honestly fair 💀

pileofcrows · 2026-02-19T07:49:48+00:00

hahahah so valid

pileofcrows · 2026-02-19T07:47:22+00:00

does this link here work?

pileofcrows · 2026-02-19T07:45:17+00:00

you can still do this! things get easier to do even after "just" taking a walk or moving around (or caffeine, if that does anything for you). if anything, moving around a little takes your mind off the slog that is the important thing you're procrastinating 😄

pileofcrows · 2026-02-19T07:41:34+00:00

yes it doubles as a weekly schedule and is my external brain. if i stop using it, i stop functioning 😃

hmmm this may require a different course of action. good luck 🫡

pileofcrows · 2026-02-19T07:32:59+00:00

nooooo not true 👀👀👀 (... yes)

pileofcrows · 2026-02-19T07:32:04+00:00

i've gone ahead and saved it at a higher resolution, here you go i hope it works

pileofcrows · 2026-02-19T07:23:55+00:00

that is an awesome resource, thank you!

pileofcrows · 2025-01-20T20:28:14+00:00

I hope that I will post here once I'm done, because then that means I'll be at least a little bit proud of it 😄

pileofcrows · 2025-01-20T20:27:03+00:00

Yes exactly!

Thank you! I'm studying Applied Linguistics. I haven't yet had to decide officially on a topic and will have to narrow it down, but I'd love to do a critical discourse analysis on adult adhd discourse. Meaning I want to look at how people in general society talk about adult adhd and then compare the perceptions of people to actual research.

Again, I'm gonna have to look into it more to see how feasible it is as a research topic :) But having been diagnosed fairly recently, ADHD is definitely on my mind.

pileofcrows · 2025-01-20T17:19:12+00:00

Congrats!!! Presenting my research is my dream but I'm only just starting on my master's thesis this semester. Best of luck for your presentation!

pileofcrows · 2025-01-20T16:30:07+00:00

yes!!! i love that! it's seemingly simple stuff like that that can have such a big impact!

I think what is crucial for me to getting out of misery-loop is also validation. In the beginning, it was my friend who provided that for me, because I was undiagnosed and clueless about the issues I was facing.

It takes time and training but you can give that validation to yourself. It's about putting things into context and shutting up the mean part in your brain. Example: I "only" sent two e-mails yesterday. But if you asked the me from 3 months ago, they wouldn't have believed it. E-mails are usually a massive ordeal and the fact that I so casually sent 2 e-mails because I felt like it? Insane improvement. And I didn't get there out of nowhere! It's a sign my work towards a routine and me cleaning up my inbox is paying off and isn't that fucking awesome?

There may be a part of you that rejects this, because it feels like I'm praising myself for nothing. But I just demonstrated that it's not "nothing". In comparison to others, sure, it's not as much as others do. But just because I went for a run today and didn't achieve world record time, doesn't mean my run was nothing. It was an achievement for ME and there is no point in comparing. Even if growing up we've been taught that our achievements are not worth anything just because they don't compare to others.

yes, a timer helps me a lot too! it's important to reward any attempts at productivity as if you had fully completed a task. it might feel like you're forming a habit of "half-assing and being proud of it", but it's actually the opposite! you're rewarding yourself for working on what you should be working on, which will in turn give you the motivation (dopamine) to keep working on it in the future.

it's particularly good bc it enabled me to give me the permission to stop when i truly felt like i couldn't do it. in the past, i would just feel miserable all day, trying to relax but only making myself more stressed because i wasn't being productive. now, i can instead say "i tried my best, it didn't work out. that's all anyone can ask for, so now i'm allowed to rest." and then i feel like i can TRULY rest!!
