    I have to write Polite Letters to people for work and due to Serious Communication(TM) anxiety, it keeps not happening. If anyone either has advice for bypassing the part of my brain that thinks "hi, complete stranger, a mildly important person heard you got an award and thinks that's cool" is an impossibly difficult sentiment to express or can just order me to write down words, either would be appreciated.

    do you have script to fall back on? a literal script, like a fill-in-the-blank form. if not, i'd be happy to try my hand at writing one for you, because i know when i get anxious about writing things, having a structure for writing the letter, instead of just freestyling it, helps me get it done faster

    Sort of, but it's pretty much just, "Dear [name]: I learned from [an article] about your [achievement]. [something that indicates you actually read the article]. Here's a laminated copy of the article." Which, like, it's ridiculous that I'm having so much trouble with this when it literally only has to be like half a page because most of the paper is letterhead and signature, but that's squirrelbrain for you. And you'd think that with all the random paper lying around in here I'd be able to find an old one specifically for "high school students at top of honor program," but nooo

    ... well. that is actually exactly the type of script i was going to write, sorry

    in that case, like. just sit down and try to fill in those blanks for like 5 minutes. 5 minutes of doing that and nothing else. and see where you are at the end of that?

    write a silly one first. "dear (straw hat luffy), i learned from (a newspaper a seagull dropped on my head) about your (bounty being raised to 100 million berries). (you look even dorkier in this photo, keep making those goofy faces man.) here's a laminated copy of the wanted poster."

    that'll break the suction and let you start rolling with the real ones.

    Unless you do what I've done before and write out a goofy email then hit send by mistake because you were a giant fool and didn't put it in a draft.

    That was some awkward explaining.

    hey could someone maybe ping me in like an hour to check if I've put my mail in the mailbox yet
    you would think this is a simple task and yet here I am, so I'm hoping that some form of accountability will make me Get It Done

    swirlingflight inane analysis and story spinning is my passion

    Transcript for a video on ADHD that I had a lot of emotions reading, with things put in words that I don't always see put into words. Some advice (make reminders physical, keep time visible with clocks in line of sight, make tasks small and create rewards for doing them, and keep blood sugar up with stuff like lemonade or sports drinks), but it starts and ends with affirmation that ADHD is executive dysfunction, is a breakdown in between putting ideas into functional action, and external scaffolding is the most reliable help
