An industrious blackout would be great

Yes. I struggle with executive function but mostly exponentially in relation to how much screen time. I can't take the meds

Ah. I find body doubling (co-working along with another person) and using accountability partners helps, but the struggle is definitely real, even with meds.

Have you considered that this was a jokey lil joke joke and we should not diagnose anyone from a skeet

Thanks for policing my very first post on Bluesky! My comment came from a place of empathy; I was diagnosed as an adult and have met so many people who struggle with executive function issues and the self-recrimination that goes with them. Maybe let the original poster shut me down if she wants to.

I do understand you were trying to help and also understand that replies here are often exhausting because we write jokes (it's my whole acct really) that people take seriously. I hope you settle in here and have a good experience. It's really a great place

By the time I finish thinking about the task and all the steps going into it and collecting all the things I'll need to do it, I'm exhausted. So I take a nap instead. Then put the things on CraigsList.

This checks out

they call this the severance procedure there’s a whole documentary about it on apple tv

It looks really interesting

i’m thinking about getting it done, but i’m not sure i’m ready to lose “work me” you know?

Yeah, but I lost "work me" 7 years ago. I was worried about losing that me, and now I color on the walls it's great 😉

fuck it. you convinced me, i’m doin it

You can drink protein shakes instead of eating and have lots more time to color

I want it to give me the same sensation of running that line through it on a list I would call it ‘Done’

YES

Maybe a medically induced coma.

I don't think any half life could sustain that interim tho

I think that exists. Or, a gummy anyway.

There is. Unfortunately, it's amphetamines.
