I would argue that scrolling through fresh memes on Risa(@startrek.website) while on the toilet is the pinnacle of living in the moment. Particularly at work.

There was a meme I saw on Lemmy a while back that said undiagnosed ADHD is like having life set to hard mode but you and everybody else think you’re set to easy mode.

Getting a diagnosis and/or treatment doesn’t change the fact that you’re on hard mode, but at least you know what you need to tackle.

Yesss, I feel so seen!

Don’t put the thing in an easy to remember spot, or an easy to find spot. Put it in an inevitable spot. It has to be physically impossible to leave without it.

Small items can go in front of the door, or put the keys with them, ideally clipped on with a carabiner. Large items have to either block the door, or go in the car ahead of time immediately when I think of it.

Combine this with a wife who is a pro at losing things, and if something is in her way she’ll move it to the nearest open flat surface with no time or reason.

Having a mnemonic helps me with routine everyday things, though one-time things require the “attach keys or block door” method.

What I have settled on for routine items is a numbered list. Nothing complicated to remember. Just which item is which number.

When I get ready to leave my house, or stand up to leave work, it goes like this counting in my head:

1, 2: work phone and personal phone in one pocket

3, 4: wallet and keys in the other pocket

5, 6: watch on my left wrist and water bottle in my right hand

[7, 8]: if necessary: wireless earbuds and backpack

Plus at work, I have a strict rule that I cannot put my keys anywhere but my pocket. My fob to get in the building is on my key chain, and after the second time I locked myself out I made the rule. If I do take my keys out of my pocket to clip/unclip something like a USB flash drive or nail clippers, the keys stay in my hand until they go back into the pocket.

I read it as the mime unleashing the horrible power of his voice, which he keeps hidden away from the world in times of peace.

It’s like Alanis Morissette in Dogma.

Bitwarden has been working well for me, and it’s open source and free to use. I started using it when it was clear that using LastPass was not a long term solution.
