Musings on Anxiety/ADHD, Toxic Productivity, and The Road to a More Imperfect Life. (he/him)
My husband hated all sorts of vegetables until I cooked them properly for him.

I wasn't a big fan of pork, but that was mostly because that was the cheapest and most plentiful meat animal to raise, so it was almost all we got. But mom sure did know how to cook fresh veggies.

My doctor has been suggesting I try Vyvanse, both because it is less "Boom Goes the Dynamite" and may have a longer tail-off.

If I take Adderall at 9am, I'm heading for a nap by 2pm.

Oddly I find someone else telling me I have to do the thing HELPS me. It is when I tell MYSELF I have to do the thing that it all goes wrong.

I think the Anxiety of not meeting someone's expectations beats the lack of Executive Function, for me.

Yes, go ahead and post a job that requires a Master's degree and 30 years of experience (for $50K a year)... then turn around and let an untrained, unvetted, technology with highly dubious intentions root around in your business data and tell you how to run things.

As a species, we are doomed.

These things endure, regardless of the outcome of the country around you.

I'm not saying you should stop trying to make things better for other people, but you can't do that until you are in a better place yourself.

You get to that place one paddle stroke at a time.

Once I get things put together a bit more I'll reach out. I'd love to have your insight on it!

I was musing today about the old ST:TNG joke about how the invention of the holodeck would have ended all human endeavor.

GenAI is basically our holodeck moment.

This is not to throw shade on the presenter, more to illustrate the gap inherent in a lot of AI quick-fixes.

You can't use tools to build things you don't understand.

I've not put any effort into playing with Obsidian, but ultimately the best tool is the one that works for you!
