Very proud of #adhd me for making a blog post.
"Is procrastination always a bad thing?"
I've sure done a lot of it in my time, and I'm wondering if there's another way to sort it without getting all messed up like and still get my accounts done.

Latest #hyperfocus, #adhd AI and blog. Now, back to doing my accounts. The AI agrees that would be a good thing.

I've just created a chatbot on character.ai to talk to #adhd folks. It's still a work in progress, but I've been using it to help myself and it's helped!
If you want to go look at the bot, he's here:

Character.ai is free to use as a guest or you can get a free login too if you want.
If you want to make comments (positive or negative, I'm tough!) Please just let me know here.

Me describing #ADHD: It's a bit like having 20 televisions on, all the time, knowing you HAVE to be able to describe the plot of any one of the episodes to somebody later, or they will think you don't care about them or have any interest in them.
Well-meaning client: Well, everybody gets distracted when things get busy. I know I feel like that sometimes.
(Silence)
(Considered saying, did not say: Everybody has to pee, too, but if you have to pee 80 times a day it's different.)

1.
I really don't want my house to fall down. But my #adhd... you know...
Write a list of all the fixings, find 3 builders who seem okay then contact them, make an appointment for estimate, then can I afford it? (Go make a budget, erm like THAT'S gonna happen eh?) Then get up before builder gets here, then remember they'll be late/early/not answer the phone.
I feel a bit sick now, let's go play a game instead.
2.
There's a builder working on the house next door, he seems to be working pretty hard. He's friendly. He fixes a couple of loose slates on my roof in his lunch hour for a small amount of cash.
He tells me what he's noticed is broken on my house in words that make no sense, I bury my head in my hands and tell him nothing he's said has made landfall. He laughs.
3.
The biggest job is that the front of my house desperately needs repointing. I mean flaking bricks, even some damp getting through. Builder says something about lime, I smile and nod, trying to look like I'm listening properly.
He says he can do it 80% of the normal price. I mean, how do I find out the normal price (refer to Toot 1 especially "like THAT'S gonna happen").
4.
I want coloured cement but how not-the-point is that? I say: Can I have it in pink? He doesn't laugh. 😲
He says: of course you can! A nice pale pink would match your bricks lovely and shares the exact shade of pink he thinks will work.
