So Strattera's makes the work done? So no immediate impact but you can feel the difference?

I get you. Do you miss 'the old you'? How old were you when the pandemic started?

I'm 40 now, and I struggle to see what a 'normal' brain could still achieve. It feels like the last 20 years made it impossible to build the network, leadership skills, experience, etc etc. With those foundations missing, can my remaining working years actually lead to a significant improvement in my quality of life?

What do you think?

How old are you now? Have you thought about talking again?

Thank you for your answer. Keep those roots growing ☺️

You've used mobile data to post this right after you cancelled tha WiFi contract 😅

Can someone 😇 please crash (DOS) more times this services so that people find other options (WhatsApp> signal, X>fediverse, etc)? It's always been like that when there's a blackout..

Hi @mizule@lemmy.blahaj.zone ,

Hope you’re doing well! I saw your “Executive Function as Code” post and instantly recognised a lot of my own struggles, so I thought I’d drop you a quick note and toss a few questions your way.

A quick intro

I’ve got ADHD too, and I think there’s a tiny bit of OCD hanging around. I’m into home servers, homelabs, FOSS, Linux, programming and privacy, but my tech knowledge is pretty shaky – basically a kid with a hammer and pickaxe trying to dig for gold without a map

How I’m currently organising things

tasks.org Main to‑do list, dates & urgent flags so I get notifications. Nextcloud (Disroot) via davx

Logseq Growing knowledge‑base using Tiago Forte’s PARA method (Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives). I use the Inbox as a brain‑dump for ideas, tasks, references, etc. Phone ↔ laptop via Syncthing

The pain points Urgent/date‑bound tasks live in tasks.org – works fine, but they’re isolated from the rest of my “brain”

Logseq holds everything else – ideas, loose tasks, resources, but there’s no easy way to surface the stuff that actually needs attention.

TAOAOT – “The anguish of an open task” – even a small backlog can swell enough that I lose motivation, energy, or even forget why a task exists.

I’ve tried loads of task‑apps (including Emacs) and still end up with the same scattered feeling.

A couple of questions Energy‑aware task rating – I loved the “energy” property you added in Doom Emacs.

• Could I do something similar in Logseq? Maybe a property like energy:: high/medium/low and then filter the view?

• Swap “priority” for “energy cost” in tasks.org – instead of A/B/C, I’m thinking of colour‑coding by mental energy:

Red – complex, deep‑focus work (high energy)

Yellow – standard work (medium energy)

Blue – easy, quick wins (low energy)

The most important question ❓

• A low‑tech, beginner‑friendly stack – for folks who love the idea of patching together their own software but don’t have Emacs/Elisp chops, what would you suggest as a “good enough” setup? Something that respects privacy, works offline (or E2E online), and can grow into a more advanced system later on.

Final thoughts Your story gave me hope that a DIY patch can actually work, even when you start from a modest technical base. I’d love any tips you have for a jittery mouse on caffeine trying to tidy up every corner of my digital life without a clear roadmap.

Thanks for reading this long‑winded note – looking forward to any insights you can share!
