I don’t think I have ADHD but this is basically the summary of my life

I’m in this pic and I hate it. I would have like 20 albums written if I would just sit down and turn the clever concept/title and couple of stanzas into an actual fucking song. Instead what I do is open GDrive and get paralyzed at the sight of the burgeoning directory structure and immediately log off, if I even get that far.

I feel this and I’m not adhdt(to my knowledge)

I have 1192 tabs open in my mobile browser. I hope, I read all those articles in this lifetime.

Before, I was able to read so much. I finished Count of Montecristo in 10 days. Nowadays, I can’t even read more than 3 pages a day.

Oh man I think about this a lot. I have some thoughts.

1. The more complicated of a system, the less likely you are to use it.
2. Complicated systems are self defeating.
3. A system you use is always better than a perfect system you don’t.

I try to make notes about where my previous notes are when I make new ones so I don’t lose them.

I try to keep one or two physical ways to jot things down. I use a boogie board and a pocket journal. I use a disposable flimsy one. The temporary look of it helps me not treat it as some perfect log book that needs a perfect system. Avoid any and all “bullet journaling” tips lol. That’s a road to complexity. My system is:

1. If I need to remember something, I write it down.
2. If I don’t need to remember it anymore, I cross it out. If a page has nothing I need to remember and no real room for new still, I rip it out.

For digital notes I use Google Keep on my phone and an Obsidian Workplace in a synced folder for Google Drive. I DO NOT stress about making perfectly organized Obsidian documents that link to each other. I just write what I need as I need it. My Obsidian stuff is a little more organized but I sort of haven’t used it in a while.

All forms of this is your way of communicating with your future self and how your future self will look for messages from you. Viewing it like this helps make it clear what sort of things you need to keep track of and also sort of sounds cool so it makes it exciting.

I’ve got 19,347 links saved in my current Read Later app. How often do I actually open it to get back to something? At most once a month for one thing, usually less.

This is my second time bookmarking this meme.

…I can’t find the first.

I have 5 google drives at 100% capacity with the images I save.

Probably about 50% of the recipe pages that I have bookmarked aren’t even online any more.

I really need to see a psychiatrist

Anyone else keep those screenshots they accidentally take of their home screen because they know they’ll drunkenly accidentally delete an icon on their home screen and have no idea what icon is missing because they never use it but they e grown accustomed to it and want it back the way it was?

Just me?

Only a decade? Noob.

I’ve hit the limit on safari tabs on my phone multiple times. When you open something in a new tab at that point, it just cannibalizes a tab you haven’t visited recently, but you can use the back button to find out what it was.

I hope I put the right tags or keywords in the thing that I save cause that’s the only way I’m ever finding it again

Pinterest. My boards are full of diy project ideas and recipes that I will never look at again, but I keep clicking and saving.
