Some of them even work for a week or two. But sustained effort? No thank you.

    Let's not forget the "How together does my shit really need to be anyway?" phase, that's my favorite

    I'm currently experimenting giving up on trying to get your shit together, it's quite a good life but it's still really hard not to make choices that have undesirable effects. Especially if those choices have desirable effects in the short term. Speaking about short term gratification, i should really put away my phone and go to sleep.

    Or endlessly thinking about the endless cycle...

    I haven’t refilled my Adderall in over a month because I can’t remember to make an appointment until I’m in bed trying to sleep.

    If it's just remembering, have you tried setting a reminder on your phone while in bed to remind you at a reasonable hour?

    If it's the wall of "I need to do this, but inertia is holding me back" I got nothing but words, I understand the difficulty.

    Omg you’re a genius. I’m going to try a reminder.

    I think the problem is a little of both, but can’t hurt to try.

    Unsure if this was a sarcastic reply, but I used to send myself delayed text messages, until my phone decided to ignore incoming messages from myself. It bypassed the ever growing queue of reminders. If you have a reliable person, you could send them a delayed text to remind you, but that gets tricky.

    Normal reminders don't work for me, so I've had to get clever

    Have you tried making a list?

    Between cognitive behavioral therapy and meds, I can work 25 hours a week and still generally keep-up my apartment as long as I'm not in a funk.

    I still be eating wwwaaaayyyyy too much fast food though. Don't even want fast food. At a point it's kinda mentally gross even if physically very satisfying. Just don't wanna cook. You're telling me I gotta cook and then EAT TOO? I have ibs so 90% of frozen and fast-prep options are out. :(

    When I don't want to cook I grab a rotisserie chicken from my local kroger and a couple of their sides. Cheaper and healthier. Cooking at home, especially from scratch, will always be the best way to go but it sure is time consuming when you're trying to keep up with capitalism.

    Yeah my go to is rotisserie chicken, canned corn, and the pre-made refrigerated mashed potatoes.

    I gotta start breaking down the chicken and portioning the meals at the start of the week though because even that when I get home at the end of a day is like, damn. I gotta open a can of corn, take about half, take a third or so of potato container, cut or rip the chicken off the bone, put it on a plate microwave it, season it. Like damn.

    I truly found org-mode is a constant in my life for the last 12 years, and if I want to get something done, I need to put it in my org mode todos.

    • step one: learn emacs
    • step two: learn org mode

    so uh... like 6months of hard work, then life is easy
