Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:
-
/c/TenForward@lemmy.world - Star Trek chat, memes and shitposts

MODERATORS
This assumes executive dysfunction only ever comes from lack of (available) dopamine though.
It's better advice than stressing yourself out, sure, but it may just be useless.
The only thing that has ever worked for me - and I have tried giving myself treats before and during a task - are hard, immovable deadlines.
They're not saying it'll fix everything, they're saying try it. It'll either help, or it won't; but you're no worse off for trying a gentler-on-yourself approach
They were a bit too absolute-y in my opinion.
But yeah, there's no harm in trying to see whether it will work for you.
