[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Still bad advice, imo. Unless you work at a great job you tend to accumulate responsibilities until you can't handle another one. Powering through tasks just raises the future expectations of management. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] countrypunk@slrpnk.net [S] 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) How would this be bad advice for things like household chores, personal projects, doing taxes, taking care of your own medical stuff, or voluntary responsible such as having a pet. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) I think I misread the previous reply - I assumed they were saying "Would that still hold if they were work related tasks?" Instead they may have meant "This is only true for work related tasks" - I agree with the later point. When it comes to personal tasks though there's no reason to not do everything you're able when you're able to do it. My apologies for the confusion! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] countrypunk@slrpnk.net [S] 2 points 2 years ago (1 child) That makes sense that you misread it, we are on an ADHD community after all. I tend to misread stuff all of the time. Props to you for acknowledging that you misread it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago Hey, if I can't be honest about my shitty memory and reading comprehension here where will I be! permalink fedilink source parent
