I was going through useless facts and trivia to fill my brain with shit and I learned in feudal Japan the term for a bisexual man was something along ”wields swords in both hands”

And the gays win again.

Zuko is leading us into 20Biteen with pride

A reminder that turning in assignments for partial credit is better than not turning them in at all. It is. Even if you think you’ve done a bad job and are ashamed of your work, or it’s way overdue, you take whatever you can get. Partial credit dramatically improves your grade over a zero, and I’m always astounded by how often even the smartest kids don’t really comprehend that. 60% is worlds better than 0%. Even 10% is going to help you. Letter grades are misleading and are not created equal. “F"s are mathematically valuable. Turn that late assignment in.

This goes for so many things in life tbh.

Can’t pay the full amount you owe on a bill? Pay as much as you can each month. Most places just wanna know you’re making a good faith effort. You can usually even call and ask for a smaller minimum monthly payment plan until you catch up, so that maybe you won’t be getting late fees added on to your balance. It’s worth calling to see. 

Third time you’ve had to reschedule that doctor’s appointment? Oh well. Your doc probably just wants to make sure you make it in to their office at all. Keep trying.

Half-assing is always better than no-assing folks. I know lots of us are anxiety-ridden perfectionists and it feels like if we can’t do everything exactly right on the first try we just shouldn’t bother. But that’s not true. 

My mom likes to say “anything worth doing is worth doing poorly” to emphasize that it’s okay to enjoy doing things even if you’re not good at them. The point is doing them. Make that shitty art project that makes you happy. Learn that new skill even if you suck at it at first. Make it to under half of the events of that club or organization you want to be a part of but can’t fully commit to. It’s okay. You don’t have to do it perfectly to do it at all. 

anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.

God i wish someone told me this in middle school

people with ADHD are old computers

  • slow processor
  • one program at a time
  • most programs take forever to start running
  • and even longer to close
  • wait no I didn’t mean to open that one-
  • don’t try to rush them by asking them to run the program over and over. They will start screaming and probably crash
  • after running one program you need to restart them in order to run anything else. try again when they wake up lol
  • guess who takes forever to wake up !
  • there are certain programs that are really lightweight and don’t require much effort to run. Hope u like solitaire cause you’re gonna be doing that a lot
  • listening to music is just colorful swirls???
  • certain programs CAN NOT run by themself they NEED help from the cd-rom or else they will NOT work sorry
  • need to access information? Sorry they only have 2GB of total memory so they’ll need to use the internet to look it up but it’s like 2002 and shitty
  • there are programs that require a processeing power they Do Not Posses and they live knowing they will never get to enjoy them

I feel more like a game console

hello I am optimized for one thing and not good at anything else.

yes that thing.

no I don’t have a word processor or a calculator, wtf

oh yeah, graphics, I can do graphics, those are easy!

you took out the game and I forgot the last three hours of play because you didn’t save, hope you’re happy

why do you think I have a clock. do you mean in-game time?

If you’re one of those people who thinks executive dysfunction only happens for things we don’t like (school, cleaning,) then please consider the fact that I’ve been meaning to plug my phone in for 20 minutes and I’m now at 2% and still putting it off to write this post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My anime/video game list consists of over 100 titles, easily, and yet I almost never get around to watching/playing any of them.

Executive dysfunction is not just for boring or unenjoyable things. It’s for everything. Even eating.

What is executive dysfunction? O.o

Put simply, it’s difficulty/inability with initiating tasks. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive functions, like decision-making and impulse control. People with ADHD and other neurological disorders that affect the prefrontal cortex often experience difficulty making decisions and performing tasks, as well as exercising self restraint. Part of why people with ADHD tend to procrastinate so badly is out of genuine inability to begin tasks, even if they’re very important.

It feels, for me at least, like I’m constantly waiting for something and I can’t start X task because I’m waiting. I never know what exactly I’m waiting for, but that doesn’t stop me from wasting hours and days not doing the things I need to do, even if I have a desire to do them.

Oh thank god, someone put it into words.

For me it’s also waiting for the “right” time to come to complete the task because for some reason my brain thinks doing the task at any other time is horribly, horribly wrong, weird, and out of order. The “right” time might come eventually, might not. It’s a lottery.
