Often what people call "dandruff" is not actually dandruff. You might have dry scalp, which causes flakyness and the dandruff shampoos do nothing to help (I'd argue they even make the dryness worse!)
In my case it was dandruff and what made a huge difference is to wash twice in a row (lather, rinse, repeat). I leave the shampoo in my head for a bit on the second wash while I do my other shower business.
A lot of people mention podcasts, but what really helps me do boring tasks are audio dramas. They are shows meant to be listened to. These are different from audio books where you get a narrator, they have sound effects and several voice actors playing different characters.
Some good starting points IMO (all on Spotify)
Before Your Eyes. I was going through some major stuff at the time and I'll associate the game with that summer forever. It has a very unique mechanic and it ties into the game really well without feeling like a gimmick. Takes about 3 hours to complete, so not a huge investment either.
I personally like fanfiction.net better than AO3, but I believe AO3 is the bigger one
I just buy notebooks to keep by my side and serve this purpose. This prevents me from having loose sheets everywhere that can get lost.
I keep the three on my desk, the most recent two filled ones and my current one, and it has happened to me to go search one of the old ones for some random info I know I scribbled in there and need later.
I don't know if this is normal, I can sometimes remember the side of the sheet I wrote something in, the approximate height, ink color and sometimes how far along the notebook it is. This helps with search, but even without memory like this I still think it's easier to search a notebook than a bunch of loose sheets
Is this from the Finch app? I should re-download that at some point
