We are up to 100 members! Woo hoo. Not too much activity on this board, but I hope you find, as I do, that it serves a purpose. It's nice not to wade through all the ADHD posts that I can "kinda but not really" relate to, and go straight to the folks who are speaking my language. Right now I don't have much time to devote to mod activities, but I do love to read all the new messages and hope to be on here more regularly in a few months.
I'd like to encourage everyone who is reading this to take a moment to check in, update us, share a tip, frustration, funny meme or whatever. Even if it's just a sentence or two. I care about you and how you are doing. I know you are out there fighting the good fight every day, regardless of how it appears to anyone else (even yourself). The struggle is real in a way that most people can't even imagine, and your persistence, especially when it often seems we have so very little to show for it, is admirable.
Regarding browser tabs: If you're like me, you have well over a dozen tabs open right now. (I have well over a hundred (I have no idea exactly, could be a couple hundred or more, honestly), across multiple windows and a couple browsers!) One tip I have is to use "groups" in the Google browser. Right click on a tab and you can either create a new group with that tab in it, or add it to an existing group. You can name and color code your groups. You can move a tab from one Chrome window to another, then put it in the new window's groups. I also use Firefox, and if there's a tab in Firefox I want to save, I copy the address, transfer it to Google, then categorize it. It's not a perfect system and I certainly don't execute it perfectly either, but it does help.
I have a challenge for you. Take JUST TWO MINUTES (not a figurative two minutes, I'm talking 120 seconds) RIGHT NOW to do something useful---bring your dirty dishes to the sink, throw away some trash, pay that overdue bill that's been sitting on your armchair for the past few days, or (oops I just remembered I need to do this) take the laundry out of the washing machine and put it in the dryer before it gets musty and have to wash it all over again. Don't overthink it, don't procrastinate--two minutes! And NOW--not when you're done with Reddit, not when you've finished your drink, not when it's exactly 2:00--NOW. :-) Reddit will still be here when you get back. :-)
Even if you haven't introduced yourself, next time you visit ADHD-Inattentive, respond to this message and tell us what you did. :-) Even if 99% of people would roll their eyes at your two minute accomplishment, I (and others who read it too) will be proud of you. :-) Who knows, you may just motivate someone else to do THEIR two minutes!
