Progress is, in the end, still progress...
So, I'm new to the ADHD scene and been making it a point to pay attention to "escapes/excuses" I use or tell myself. I noticed that during my boosts of motivation I set alarms to get tasks done in a certain time to give structure. However, when I actually go to apply all that planning, if I don't do the thing by the time I set, I let it be "Ill try again tomorrow". The bigger the project the less I was doing cause I wouldn't get something done by the time I wanted it and I just gave up. Leading to a nasty bout procrastination and self loathing that I didn't do the thing lol. The longer I've paid attention to my brain and the way it works, the more I find myself not caring if the task is done by a certain time, just as long as the task gets done THAT DAY. Numo of course has helped remind me of the things that need to be done, without the stress of deadlines. Now I'm just talking about chores and tasks that aren't truly time sensitive. Appointments, work, school etc those do not apply. The happiness and pure joy I've felt, along with the motivation, this past couple weeks is something that I've lacked and missed dearly. I'm slowly getting back to my old self, loving where I am, and looking forward to what the future holds. :)
