r/Non_Medical_ADHD

• when i'm in the office or busy w work, i don't worry about adulting
• i should do housework instead of the treadmill after meals bc otherwise i'll end up "recovering" at my desk and posting to reddit
• high standards are robbing me of mindfulness
  • today matters
    • what am i doing today that won't add value today?
    • what THINKING am i doing today that:
    • ...won't make today better?
    • ...is DISTRACTING FROM today?
  • NOW matters
    • what am i doing right now that has nothing to do with right now?
  • maximum longevity doesn't
  • maximize AWARENESS; not years
  • sensory pleasures (incl intellectual stimulation) are fleeting so why be distracted by seeking and indulging in them when they won't carry over to tomorrow?

Schedule below. Observations and tuning:

• Made appointments bold white text on dark navy to highlight those blocks/"walls" as well as the available windows / white space / available time between them
  • Also added "Work window begins" zero-minute appointment to split / breakup overwhelmingly long pre-breakfast block
• Un-audited main theme / task within each block to more easily see what is the primary focus and/or most urgent item of each block ie carving chicken, lunch meditation, laundry/sheets and daily exercise
• Since the schedule is refreshed in real time, i can visually see things dropping from one window to the next and possibly threatening the urgent items in that window
• schedule observations:
  • looking bottom-up the evening window is looking good and is boilerplate/routing with exercise anchor
  • for all practical purposes the afternoon is completely free which is why laundry/sheets is there but guest sheets are about as low a priority as them come
  • the "me time" / "brunch" window is still dominated by mediation although a medical item has just dropped down into that window from above
    • this is nothing to be concerned about bc until i'm able to convince myself otherwise, this scan is just fiction that doctors tell people bc people are literally numbers to doctors ie "greatest good for greatest number of people"
  • the pre-breakfast work window is still busy but is mostly 'green' (optional) tasks
  • the pre-work window has exactly the right items and also carving chicken isn't needed until lunch and thus has four hours of slack
