Me with distraction: feeling fine, barely getting work done
Me without distraction: rumination HELL, feel like shit, still barely getting work done
Give me interesting work and I will give you unlimited output
"Write stuff down and put it where you'll see it!"
— proceeds to completely see through the stuff you wrote down because it is now blends into the background scenery —
Yup. Getting tired of people saying "just write notes and reminders!"
Okay, my brain immediately deleted the memory of the reminder once it popped up, now what.
I'm in this picture and I don't like it.
If I don't have something to distract me I can't concentrate
I work best with music/podcasts/streaming all simultaneously blasting. Then I can concentrate.
I will make up a story more elaborate than game of thrones before doing something I don't want to
The distractions are all on the inside of my brain going weeeeeee... so should i just remove my brain?
My fingers are fucking fascinating. As are my toes. Not to mention all the bullshit going on in my head.
Yes. I hate myself.
By "wall" I assume this means smartphone. Because if you're sitting for 6 hours doing nothing but staring at a wall I think there's something else going on.
You have a functioning brain right? You don't need smartphone to get thinking.
Mostly functional yes, but not compatible with sitting still for 6 hours and doing nothing.
Comments like this give me the feeling that it's the neurotypicals that actually have something wrong with them and they just convinced ND people that they're the normal ones.
No. By wall they mean wall/ceiling/floor.
If you’re removing distractions, you should probably also remove smartphones /tablets/smartwatches/whatever else people might have. But again, even if people try to remove my distractions, I’ll entertain myself. I personally like to guess and check cube roots, which is much easier to do with paper and pencil, but can be done without. It’s an effective way to kill time.
