as someone on the adhd spectrum, there are hardly any worse than short obligations around midday and early afternoon. i feel that i can’t make any plans for before and afterwards, so the whole day revolves around this one little thing…

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I have work obligations today 4-7pm. Thats it. The rest of the day is mine to do with as I please. I am paralyzed, lol. WTF DO I DO?!?!

Update: instructions unclear, decided to take a 2-hour nap instead.

End your day at 2pm. Start a new day at 2:01. Midnight is arbitrary.

[–] ickplant@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

I wish my brain worked like that! It’s very set in the traditional way to measure time. Aaaaaaaaaah!

[–] architectonas@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Is it that you just cannot relax due to the appointment? I'm interested in how it feels for you.

[–] e8CArkcAuLE@piefed.social 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

it depends on the seriousness of the appointment, but mostly it feels like if i start something else in between i wouldn’t have enough time to finish the task, i might get sidetracked and totally overwhelmed and everything is just stressful. even if it’s an easy and everyday task i’m doing in between, i’m suddenly feeling a lot of stress and pressure. so to some extent it’s bad time management due to getting sidetracked, fear of failure and that combination leads to radical time management: don’t do any task before! and for similar reasons the time afterwards is also somewhat uncomfortable

[–] architectonas@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Thanks for sharing!

[–] mystrawberrymind@piefed.ca 33 points 4 days ago

I feel for you. Scheduled probably means it’s an important call, and it’s like the whole day’s on pause just waiting to get it over with.

[–] lectricleopard@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago (3 children)

This is every day for me as an engineer. Every day there are calls with important conversations. Its exhausting. I thought I'd be able to find a job where I could keep my head down and work, but thats not reality.

[–] Fear_and_loathing@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Also an engineer. I'm lucky that most of my meetings are before noon now after I moved to a different time zone. Though, that also means I have early meetings I have to be alert and ready for. Of course by the time I have a couple hours at the end of my work day to actually get something done I am mentally exhausted and need to start resting for my early morning meetings the next day.

[–] luftruessel@feddit.org 5 points 4 days ago

It's always fun to push these mentally challenging tasks through the week, because there is no straight 2h to focus

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

Its easier if you work with people you like.

[–] Medic8teMe@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 days ago

I have a 4pm doctors appointment. Adhd says...Nothing getting done today.

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Or waiting for a tradie to turn up 'some time between 7 and 5'.

[–] dreadbeef@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 days ago

Bluey taught me what a tradie is 👀

[–] janNatan@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

I've never seen this word spelled before. Why is it not tradey? I don't like this.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I've just been working up to an hour before and jerking it until the call starts.

the other day someone asked me why I was out of breath and had to convince them I was just working out and lost track of time.

not a lie really, just some really good cardio.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Fucking coward.

Man up and continue jerking it during the phone call.

[–] mc900ftJesus@lemy.lol 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's how you end up saying "oh fuck yes" to an in-person event, not worth the risk.

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 1 points 3 days ago

Just goon to CNC and you can just reject everything naturally

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Waiting for that teams meeting
