    Got my desktop computer cleaned out (dad helped and showed me how!), and 90% set up. (It's...90% set up, because the working monitor is not, currently, displaying the boot screen, just the login screen.)

    Also, figured out why the working monitor won't display the boot screen and what needs to be done to fix that. (We need a different cable.)

    I think I have developped a coping strategy for when (possibly) ADHD Brain is having trouble with Exec Function.

    1) have a variety of tasks to do around the house, including things that are right in the open and make you feel guilty when you look at them
    2) spend all day telling self "you really gotta do that" and not doing that
    3) notice that it is Late and you should be going to bed soon, feel bad about wasting the day
    4) tell self "okay, let's just forget about today and do those things tomorrow."
    5) immediately feel better because Tomorrow is an imaginary place that doesn't exist
    6) (this is the sneaky part) tell self "let's just make a list of things that we are definitely doing Tomorrow, starting with the most pressing."
    7) happily make a list because, again, Tomorrow is fake, so tasks no longer feel bad to think about
    8) once list is made, tell self "how about just doing that one right at the top, since we've already visualized it and all, we can start Tomorrow in the right frame of mind"
    9) task is no longer Thing I Should Have Done Days Ago, but Thing To Do Tomorrow, which I am getting a head start on because I am a productive person with great planning skills
    10) Task gets Done!
    11) see if you can leverage Just One More Then, but if not, be happy that at least one thing is Done, go to bed early and feel accomplished

    @Meagen Image oh man do you mind if I quote that over to the ADHD thread? or you could do it, either way

    because that is a BRILLIANT strategy that I am absolutely going to try :D I have used Tomorrow Is Fake as a weapon against anxiety, but I never thought to use it against executive dysfunction!
