I had a coworker who was constantly buying new phones. I didn’t know why until I realized that he didn’t use a case. He didn’t like how the phones looked with a case on them.
Same. I suggested that to him, but nope. Phones also seem slipperier than they used to be, so I feel like the case lets you hang onto it better, keeping you from dropping it in the first place.
I took my phone out of the case after a while, but the stupid screen goes all the way to the edge, so I keep accidentally tapping things just by holding the phone.
I took mine out of the case recently and it’s almost unusable. The screen goes to the edge like you mentioned. It’s paper thin so my hand doesn’t fit around it nicely for my thumb to swipe around. Lastly it’s slippery as fuck.
My phone case isn’t for protection. It’s for making the phone usable.
They’re frequently comorbid. Generally ADD develops first during childhood and later on during young adulthood anxiety/depression starts to set in. If that sounds like you, bring it up during your next psych check-in – ADD evaluation is generally quick and accurate, so there’s not much to lose.
In my experience all procrastinating and avoidance can be traced to emotional reactions to whatever I’m thinking about the task.
Just like, how I conceptualize the task in my head.
The more significant the consequences, the more I naturally desire to avoid thinking about how much is at stake with the task. Like, maybe I’ve gotten wrapped up in thinking “wow, if I don’t get this task done, that proves I’m really a screw up.” So just thinking about what failure might mean puts my body into fight or flight, and one of the ways we naturally cope with that is avoidance. It feels like anxiety. It that case, I recognize now that I need to deliberately take time to think about what success on the task will mean for me.
That lessens my emotional reaction to negative thoughts about a task. One way to practice this that’s been helpful is whenever I think of a task I have to do, I try to follow it with a thought of why I have to do it, and what goal I will meet if I do it.
On the flip side, a lot of my avoidance and procrastination is really just prioritizing and being ambitious. Like, there really isn’t enough time in the day for me, and I accept that; so time I do spend relaxing or zoning does not need to make me feel any type of way about something productive I technically could be doing.
I’m further trying to condition my relax and zone out time as if it’s a consequence of doing something productive first. Like I get to actually enjoy that time if I’ve got something I easily direct my brain to if it starts in on me; talkin’ about, shut up brain, I can play Skyrim all afternoon, my inbox is empty, or I drafted that thing, or ran on the exercise bike. That shuts up my brain some.
You gotta do a secretory vesicle turn (looks like the open one!) where you swerve wildly off the road, circle around, blaze directly across the street at a right angle, then circle back onto the road heading the other direction. No stopping, no entering, and it’s technically not a U-turn.
oh it’s actually not a font at all? I mean it’s neater than my hand writing for sure. I think if you try to put a bit more spacing between letters it would help
I think the rough pixelated edges on the brush you used aren’t doing any favors either. Maybe that’s just the compression though? Are you making the comic at a higher resolution then downscaling it for export?
All caps, while being very small and dense. More spacing, bigger size of the words and maybe even the use of non-capped letters would make it easier to read.
First comics didn’t have all-caps-writing and the consensus was that that was much worse… I’ll try to be less dense though. I’ll also work on my handwriting.
Have you thought about simply using a handwritten type font? You could even create a font from your own handwriting so that it still has your style, but you only have to take the time for each letter once.
Or if you want to improve your handwriting, that is also great to strive for I guess. Do whatever brings joy in your life :)
