    Uh yeah more or less! I also really internalised "you can come back to this", so getting interrupted wasn't like the death knell.

    Don't do the socially regrettable thing :/

        Uh I guess by literally leaving things as they are a lot of the time, like if I have something laid out on my desk I'll just leave it there and come back later. Also my wife is the only one who can pull me away from projects tbh.

          I have something laid out on my desk I'll just leave it there and come back later.

          do you struggle with the mental bit, though? like you're worried that all the thoughts and ideas you weren't able to write down will be gone if you leave it alone and come back later? or is it just being like "whatever" to that?

          (oh my god i'm at work (home) switching my attention 4 ways at the moment, sorry if words aren't making sense, i really shouldn't be trying to have multiple conversations at the same time)

            You are okay, no big meow-petted Uh I write stuff down if required, but often looking at the state of whatever I left behind will jog my brain about what I was doing. I do also take notes sometimes, or write down what I wanna do today.

        Fr, if I have a thought it must come out of me or else I will anxiously repeat it. If I have motivation to do a specific thing I must expend it for that state is transient and I might forget about it.

      Yeah, I can’t stand other people forcing me to switch activities, but I’m fine leaving something behind of my own volition sometimes. For example I like finding articles among my mass of tabs that I’ve started because it seems less daunting.

      It’s more than one thing I do from time to time :(

      Also I edited

        To be fair other people are DESERVING OF DEATH badeline-rage for forcing you to switch. Being able to leave stuff yourself is a good habit tho.

          The clock is my nemesis but I cannot ignore it. ADHD assimilationist life hack: time anxiety/j I’m time blind but it’s not particularly crippling. Maybe more alarms would help, but I do wish for a pre-clock
