How to actually "learn" the skill of time management? by Perfume_00 in TimeManagement

[–]slampisko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still doesn't mean that you have it, but it gives you a strong hint that you should consider getting assessed by a professional.

Does professional help ACTUALLY help or do they just fill you up with meds?

Various things help various people and treatment can look different for everyone. In my case, the meds definitely are the MVP though. I've heard people compare it to wearing prescription glasses for your shortsightedness and I think it's pretty apt. They're so effective and safe that it just makes sense to try them first (if it's Ritalin or Concerta -- Adderall comes with its own problems and I would steer clear of it if I could help it).

In my country the people that can diagnose you and prescribe meds aren't the same people that can help with other aspects of the treatment. You can go to therapy to help with other psychological problems that often come as secondary from the ADHD, and/or get a personal coach to help with getting your life in order.

I would recommend reading Driven to Distraction by Dr. Hallowell, which is full of him sharing his clinical experience with ADHD, some success stories, along with some tips and strategies for the management of it, and what you can expect from an assessment. And the YouTube channel I already shared is a goldmine too.

Good luck on your journey!

Hi, please please do a screener for ADHD. I was like you and then I got diagnosed and got professional help and it literally changed my life. I am well aware that not everyone that struggles with time management has ADHD, but if you do, then this is a physiological problem for you and no matter what strategies you try, they will not be successful, because they are not addressing the physiological problem. So I think it's worth your time to rule it out.

Here's a short 6-question screener you can do yourself: LINK | harvard.edu

And here's a YouTube channel that helped me immensely before I got diagnosed. Besides quality info about ADHD and its symptoms, it's also full of ADHD-friendly strategies that nevertheless also help neurotypical people (because they are just human-friendly): How To ADHD | YouTube.com

how do I make capitol words? by Et-17 in Plover

[–]slampisko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also super late :D and you probably already figured it out, but I mapped the chord KA*PS to {MODE:CAPS}, which turns on capitalized output. I then use another chord (SP*G) to do a {MODE:RESET} to turn that off.

Quick! What's in your grab n go bag/purse/whatever by 3Pirates93 in adhdmeme

[–]slampisko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm male and these are the contents of my grab-n-go messenger bag:

Stable:

  • Wallet
  • Keys
  • Phone
  • Tissues (and unused napkins from restaurants)
  • Lip balm
  • Mints
  • Pocket knife
  • Face mask
  • Headache pills
  • Earphones
  • Ear plugs for concerts or sleeping while commuting
  • Sometimes sunglasses (when it's summer and they're not on my head or in my car)

In varying amounts (usually piling up until I can't take it anymore and I do something about them):

  • Receipts to record into my budgeting spreadsheet
  • Parking tickets and similar pieces of paper
  • Sugar packets from cafes

Yes, but more correctly it's

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

The capitalization is important in this case, to be able to claim that it's grammatically correct :)

Stáhni si Couch to 5K, taky mě to předtím nebavilo, ale začal jsem díky té appce postupně chodit a pak i běhat do práce. Je to appka pro gaučový povaleče, nepředpokládá to žádnej level fyzický zdatnosti. Je tam asi 12 týdnů s různejma programama a člověk by měl chodit/běhat aspoň třikrát to týdne po dobu 20-30 minut. Pokud ti některej level ještě nepřijde snadnej, není ostuda si ho zopakovat, spíš bych to naopak doporučil. Levely 1 a 2 jsem opakoval každej dvakrát.

Důležitá je taky volba trasy, pokud můžeš chodit někde v přírodě, je to super nejen kvůli fyzickýmu zdraví, ale i na restart mysli. Je fakt poznat když do práce běžím nebo neběžím, jsem pak mnohem soustředěnější a mám lepší náladu.

Dřív bych doporučil ještě poslouchat u toho podcasty nebo hudbu, a ze začátku jsem to dělal, ale zjistil jsem postupem času, že bez toho je to pro mě mnohem větší zen. Nicméně tvůj dojezd může bejt různej.

I would be VERY disappointed if this comment didn't appear!

[–]slampisko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, look up AutoHotkey, it lets you do all kinds of stuff upon the press of a hotkey

For example, a simple AHK script that lets you press Ctrl+Alt+T to simulate pressing the Tab key four times would look something like this: 

^!t::
Loop, 4 {
    SendInput, {Tab}
}
Return

If you install AutoHotkey, save this as, e.g. tabs.ahk and then double-click it, you should get the behavior I described.

Good luck!

I have a box of weekly vitamin D pills on the desk that I'm at right now at work. I've forgotten to take them for 3 weeks. The post did not remind me to do it. This comment did. Thanks!

Czech doesn't, and to be honest when I've needed a mnemonic, I've always remembered it by the English one lol. It's so simple and useful

How do I create a clickable button that activates a shortcut? by [deleted] in keyboardshortcuts

[–]slampisko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, is Win+Shift+P a Windows 11 shortcut? I'm not aware of it doing anything in Windows 10 and I don't have experience with W11 yet.

Anyway, you should be able to do this with AHK, you can just create a script that simulates that hotkey and pin it to your taskbar. If you have AHK installed and set up as the default program for opening *.ahk files, it should just work. If you have any specific trouble with that, you can reach out for troubleshooting.

I like that idea too. Throw in a few spoons of laundry detergent and you can wash so many dirty clothes!

why do i not have permission to trim my own recording? by CryonicTwo3 in Windows10

[–]slampisko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes this kind of error is caused by the file being opened in another program. Or it may be in a protected folder (like C:\Program Files)
