Pro-tip: Asking permission to interrupt to say your bit goes down much much better than just interjecting

Honestly when I'm out solo hiking deep in the woods that's where it happens the most for me.

It's bliss when I can lay there with silence in my mind while watching clouds float by.

I really need to go hiking again.

and it is something I love and always dreamed of doing. I asked for 4 months and got it. started working 10 days before the deadline, and now I have 5 days left. wish me luck.

I once prevented throwing out a broken electric toothbrush for a year

They made us stand for hours on end during national service. I consider it a form of adhd torture.

The only thing that really works for me is when I make it a 25 minute hyper-focussed challenge: Set a timer and make the maximum progress that is theoretically possible in that time. No getting water, no toilet breaks, no looking at the phone. Beats 3 hours of getting a glass of water, toilet breaks, getting hungry, realising I should work out and shower first and finding more reasons to jump up any day - surprisingly. Got to always treat it as if it were a competition.
