ADHD: *puts off doing small but necessary tasks for weeks on end because they just seem too haaaaaaard*

also ADHD: *drops everything and spends 14 hours straight doing 150% of an unnecessary and highly-involved task that no one asked for without taking a single break to eat or pee*

In the 1990s, Finland experimented with a thirty-hour week that managed to maintain both stable wages for the employee and stable costs for the company. How? By simultaneously extending operating hours. A ten- or twelve-hour workday was split into six-hour shifts. Machinery was used more intensively, reducing its relative cost and creating opportunities to work less for the same pay. Many employees now working in continuous production would gladly sign up for such a compromise.

n 1956, then–Vice President Richard Nixon declared that the four-day workweek was inevitable. He quickly retracted that statement, but now, at least in Europe, it seems he might have been right after all. Average working time is falling in Europe

The text reads,

“YOU WERE FRANTIC AND FOOLISH, YOU KEPT NO TRACK OF TIME, YOU RAN YOUR DELICATE BODY INTO ITS NATURAL END, YOU BURNED ALL YOUR CANDLES TO STUMPS, YOU ARE TIRED AND HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO LAY DOWN, YOU HAVE EARNED THIS REPERCUSSION, THIS REWARD, THIS RECKONING, YOU FINALLY  NEED TO KNOW

HOW TO DECAY GRACEFULLY

LIE STILL (x13) ”

Relationships get so bananas when you start deciphering the other person’s love language.

Like I thought I was just acquaintances with this person because they never told me details about themselves and we just talked movies and writing . But then they made time to have coffee with me and they showed up out of breath because they ran. Like. RAN to be on time for coffee with me?

And I was like “i don’t mind waiting” cause I never want to run

But they said they wanted every minute they could get because I’m so busy usually

Which is when it clicked that I didn’t get how much they considered me a friend because I just straight away didn’t see MY signs of affection in them and went “cool! Casual buds it is.” But now that I’m seeing their signs of affection, I feel a little silly for dismissing them like that even though I felt like we could be best bros.

Anyway, some people show affection through time or intensity or commitment and not vocally. I really have to remember that!

Picking up this project again. Now that the first main arc of the Steven Universe storyline is over I have a definitive pool of characters and situations to choose from to base each card on.  💕

I love genuinely innocent “boys will be boys.” Just saw a guy come out of a frat house to poke a pair of jeans they’d left outside - they were frozen solid, and as soon as he confirmed that, like twenty more boys came rushing out of the house going “YOOOOOOOOOO”

Oh god, I just posted an article about how ADHD is underreported/underdiagnosed in women and someone’s response was basically “YEAH THAT’S WHAT BIG PHARMA WANTS YOU TO THINK”
