my biggest tip to anyone with executive dysfunction trying to get homework/work done:

sit on a chair or bench in a boring space to do it! (example: a kitchen island)

i used to swear that i could only do my homework sitting on the couch, or in bed.

what i didn’t realize was that sitting in a space with a lot of distractions, while sitting on something comfortable, made completing my work take twice as long.

why? because my brain associated those spaces with relaxation and an escape from school/work.

so, after getting so frustrated with the amount of time it took to do my work, i experimented by doing it at my kitchen island instead.

and guess what?

IT TOOK ME HALF AS LONG TO FINISH!

without any distractions, i was able to focus all of my attention towards my work.

and although this may seem like an “obvious” thing to do, i am sharing this tip because it’s something i wish i had been told instead of taking 23 years to figure out on my own.

so if i can be that person to someone here, then my goal has been accomplished.

Neurotypical writers giving advice: Be realistic with your goals. Try to outline or write a little every day. Refill the well. Get yourself a cup of tea and write for 30 minutes until the tea is empty. Check in daily with your accountability buddies for the next three to six months.

ADHD writers giving advice: Put on a movie that matches the tone of your novel to kickstart your dopamine and get into hyperfocus, then put a song on loop on noise-cancelling headphones, livestream your writing session so you feel watched and owe someone accountability, and write as much as you can for as long as you can. Don't forget to eat, sleep or drink. Now go write that novel in 5 days.

a running tally of adorable things my 20-something year old math prof has said

-“hold onto your hats, kids, we’re gonna do some algebra!!! ….what? that’s a saying! that people say!” -“you know, they used to call richmond ‘fist city’. why are you laughing” -“so, if you start your weekend with $250, and you end up sunday night with $10- stop laughing, you’re gonna understand adulthood soon enough.” -“no, i can’t put my age in the spreadsheet, it’s gonna fuck up the results because you’re aLL 18 and i’m OLD!” -“i’m sorry an old man yelled at you, but that happens in the city. you just gotta get used to old men saying mean things. they’re mean to me too.” -him: “okay kids, someone tell me a joke while i erase the board” me: “my life” him: “you think your life is a joke now? just wait ‘til you’re a grad student. god i’m sad.”
