ADHD

I’ve learned that my mind has different “BIOS” modes, and I’m just discovering what they are and potentially how to use them

- walking is the perfect amt of stimulation for absorbing pods/books 

- I don’t fidget like the textbook definition, but my version of attentive fidgeting is something like doing calligraphy drills while listening to a YouTube video

- a certain type of house music at a certain beat, tonal range etc can totally get me in the zone

I recently cast this on /okbanger. I'm re-casting here (comment if you're interested!) and I'm putting out a thread. 

If any of my fellow ADHDers sometimes struggle with motivation (and burnout), here are my own realizations...and perhaps find things that you can apply as well. 🧵 👇

These were my early insights, shortly after getting a late diagnosis.

😆 A reminder function for bookmarked items would be inordinately helpful for us ADHDers. My Twitter bookmarks are where good content and good intentions go to die.

That being said, Farcaster DOES send an email about your bookmarked items. That did serve as a reminder for me to check them out...I found it helpful.

Out of all of the "thriving mechanisms", my favorites are (currently):

1. bullet journaling (didn't even know there was a term for it, before) - I do this every week now.
2. listening to upbeat music while working (I have done this for as long as I can remember)
3. body-doubling and setting forcing deadlines - After deep-diving into ADHD, I'm re-instituting these to see how well they work (so far, so good). I'm meeting once a week on my D&D side projects, joined writing groups ("friends who write" competition), etc.
4. Daily exercise / walking (preferably in the woods) - I admit I haven't been good about this, but know I need it.

I've bookmarked to read later 🫶 is there a reminder function in farcaster by any chance?
