“do the hardest task first”

no. just… no.

hot take: this doesn’t work for people with adhd (in my experience/from what i’ve heard from other people with adhd in my life). i recommend doing the easy/moderately difficult stuff first, that way you can convince yourself that it’s all going to be this easy and undemanding. then hyper-focus will kick in because your brain is like, “yeah, we can do this, we’ve got this.” then, before you know it, you’ve completed both the easy tasks and the hard tasks while hyperfocusing.

like, on a serious note, it’s always been easier for me to convince myself to get the most difficult tasks done when i’m already working/in the working frame of mind, not when i’m laying in bed or sitting on the couch, mindlessly scrolling through stuff on my phone, and struggling to start at all.

if the choice comes down to you not starting at all or starting with the easiest task first (which, for me, it often does), always, always pick starting with the easiest task first. sometimes you need a small victory, a little bit of an accomplishment, to give you the courage to take on bigger challenges.

The 3-Hour Rule: How I Stopped Wasting Time and Started Building My Dream Life.

We all have the same 24 hours. Yet some people build businesses, write books, stay fit, and somehow remain calm. I used to wonder how they do it.

The truth hit me when I realized I wasn’t short on time — I was short on direction.

That’s when I created my version of the 3-Hour Rule. It changed my life.

Manger in charge of a LOT of shit quit recently because he got a job offer that was

A) 3x his original salary, and

B) involved far less responsibility

I had worked as his subordinate last year, so naturally the head honchos asked me take over what he was doing. Not with the title, but with the “promise” that we can visit that discussion in eight months depending on my performance (yeah okay /s).

Key note: I had received a similar promise for a different manager position. (No followup mention of that promise + no significant training provided to move me towards that position) * 7 months = empty promise. Alright cool.

One month in. Not getting too much guidance (expected), told I’m doing good and need to value myself higher.

Okay. Bet.

Asked for a raise in recognition of increased responsibilities beyond my current job description, quality of work, pay scale of the position (i’m at the bottom), etc. You know, hard facts that cannot be influenced by subjective feelings of importance or relevance.

Oh let’s not forget part of the raise was the annual raise that the HR manager promised ALWAYS happens but I have not received since my annual review four months ago. That I told the HR manager about two months ago but never heard anything back on. So there was a reminder of that, as well.

Told (to my face) that I’m entitled, don’t work hard enough, issued an ultimatum (literally didn’t make any sort of threat but okay), used the owner’s words against him (literally just quoted him on something he told me about pay when I was first hired but okay), they threatened that they could easily go out and find an external hire to take on in the role I’m being “trained” for, and asked if I REALLY think any other place would hire me. Among other “”feedback.””

Okay. Okay okay okay okay. I see how they view me now. Good to know. I learned quite a few things from this conversation and I think some of those things may surprise them.

If you’re still accepting asks for the writing game—56 and 66?

I am absolutely still accepting asks! Let's do this 🌻🌻🌻

56. What’s something about your writing that you pride yourself on?

My 'schtick' I suppose is that I put a lot of work into world-building in my fics. I like to really delve into the geography, lore, characters and history of Hyrule in whatever it is I'm writing. The fandom collectively is amazing at this, so it's not something I can claim as my own.

What I've lately come to be really proud of is my handle on voice. I feel comfortable creating distinct voices for each character in their dialogue and narration. Even my own narrative voice I think is getting stronger and more distinct. It's not perfect, but it feels like one of my main strengths at the moment.

66. How do you deal with writing pressure (ie. pressure to update, negative comments, deadlines, etc.)?

I haven't received a negative comment in quite some time, thankfully. They used to REALLY bother me, because I was pouring my soul into my work and felt that if people disliked it, they disliked ME. Now I'm much more comfortable owning that my writing isn't for everyone (no one's is). That aside everyone has been incredibly nice to me lately and I have no complaints <3

I used to put insane deadlines on myself to update, but my life is a lot more complex nowadays and I have to accept that I will write when I can. Dealing with deadlines in real life? Advice I heard on a gaming news podcast (I'm serious) about 10 years ago still resonates with me: if you're putting something off, just do two minutes. For two minutes just type something or doodle something or tidy up or anything. Anything break the dam of doubt and uncertainty holding everything back. It works for me.

i normally never comment on posts but! i do want to say, as someone who walks fast and sometimes doesn’t notice—

when walking with one other person, just… stay at their side? it sounds easier said than done but it really isn’t, i find making sure you’re able to look at them directly while walking helps (you don’t have to do this, just like, looking to the side and making sure they’re with you).

i actually find this to be more of an issue when walking with a group! so, if you find yourself leaving people behind, walk at the back! it forces you to keep pace with everyone else, it’s a trick my friend and i do because we tend to go faster than we mean to

finally, no matter what— if you do find you’re ahead; either one on one or ahead of the group, or one person has fallen behind— just pause, and wait for the person who’s last. just because you lose track doesn’t mean you can’t stop and regain the right pace to stay with your friends!

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand

6 Tips for Crossing the Road

Look both ways

The road is for cars. 

Make sure to look for them before crossing. Even when you have the right of way, cars have a lot of safety features and you have none. 

Use designated crosswalks 

The road is for cars. 

So is the crosswalk but, under brief and temporary conditions, you can use it too! Never jaywalk, never walk in the road, just hope there is a clear and functional sidewalk. 

Cross at the light

The road is for cars. 

There are rules and signs for them, but that can only go so far. Walk quickly and hold your breath and hope that the light doesn't turn. Make eye contact with drivers as their cars teem with potential energy, rumbling with disdain at the inconvenience of your crossing. Try to ignore the cloud of exhaust that you are in and they are above. 

Leash your pets

The road is for cars. 

Obviously. 

To you, it may be natural to sacrifice so much space to them but to your dog, it is not. His instinct is to explore freely. You must curb it. Modern US car models have such high hoods that the average child, let alone dog, is obscured. Even on the sidewalk, hold the leash tight because the sidewalk (if you are so blessed) is next to the street and the threat still looms.

Look out for road kill

The road is for cars. 

And no one was there to leash the deer. 

Or the raccoon. 

Or the cat. 

Did you know that the most reliable sample method for wildlife in an area is looking at the roadkill? 

Remember these tips

The road is for cars. 

Cars are everywhere. In the city. In the suburbs. In the country. In the woods (the US Forest Service manages more roads than the entire Ministry of Transit in China.) Cars are everywhere because there are roads to bring them there, which is great if you are a car and want to get from place to place fast without worrying about the in-between. 

Unfortunately, you are not a car. 

You are an animal. 

You are in-between. 

So remember to look both ways.

The Complete Guide to the Home Construction Process (From a Real Person Who Lived It)

So, you're thinking about building a home from scratch? Whether you're a first-time homeowner, a dreamer with Pinterest boards, or someone who just wants more control over their living space, this guide is for you.

When I started the home construction journey, I didn’t know how much I didn’t know. From site selection to the final walkthrough, this process can be as overwhelming as it is rewarding. This post will take you through the entire construction process step by step, and yes, I’ve lived through it, the good, the bad, and the drywall dust.

1. Planning and Financing Your Build

Before the first nail is hammered, the planning phase can make or break your build. Here's what you need to tackle first:

Budgeting: First, figure out how much you can realistically afford. Don’t just consider the construction costs, include closing costs, landscaping, permits, site prep, and a 10–15% contingency buffer for overruns.

Loan Type: Most people go with a construction-to-permanent loan, which pays the builder in stages and converts to a mortgage after completion.

Choosing Land: Make sure your lot is build-ready. You’ll need to research zoning laws, perform PERC tests for septic systems, ensure access to utilities, and get a topographical survey. If you’re buying raw land, be ready for additional prep costs.

Designing Your Home: Work with an architect or a design-build firm. Decide if you want a fully custom home, semi-custom, or a production home (pre-designed options with some customization).

2. Permitting, Surveys, and Site Preparation

With plans in hand, it's time to get the green light:

Permits: Apply for a building permit through your local city or county. This can take several weeks or longer depending on the jurisdiction and complexity.

Site Clearing: Your land may need tree removal, grading, or excavation. Underground utility checks are essential at this stage.

Foundation Work: Most homes use slab, crawl space, or basement foundations. Once excavation is complete, footings are poured and allowed to cure before the actual foundation is poured.

This phase is not glamorous but critical. Poor prep or permitting can cause major delays later.

3. Framing and Exterior Shell Construction

This is when your home starts taking shape.

Framing: The skeleton of your house is built, floors, walls, and roof trusses. At this point, you can walk through and physically see room layouts.

Sheathing and Roofing: After framing, your builders install exterior sheathing, house wrap, and roofing shingles to protect from weather.

Windows and Doors: Next come exterior windows and doors, which close the house and prepare it for interior work.

This stage moves quickly and gives you visible progress. It’s also when weather can have the biggest impact, so keep an eye on the forecast.

4. Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC Rough-Ins

Now the inner workings begin:

Plumbing: Pipes for water supply, drainage, and venting are installed.

Electrical: Electricians run wires, install boxes, and mount the breaker panel.

HVAC: Ductwork, furnace, and air conditioning systems are roughed in.

These systems must pass inspections before walls are closed. Be very involved at this stage—ask for walkthroughs, take photos of everything behind the walls, and clarify placement of outlets, lighting, and switches.

5. Insulation, Drywall, and Interior Finishes

With systems inspected and passed, you move to insulating and closing up:

Insulation: Spray foam, fiberglass batts, or blown-in cellulose are used, depending on your climate and budget.

Drywall: Walls and ceilings are hung, taped, mudded, and sanded. This makes the home feel real.

Priming and Painting: Once drywall is dry, primer and paint are applied.

Other interior work follows:

Flooring: Hardwood, tile, or carpet is laid.

Trim and Millwork: Baseboards, crown molding, and doors are installed.

Cabinets and Counters: Kitchens and bathrooms start looking functional.

Now your home feels like a house.

6. Final Systems and Fixtures

This is where the puzzle pieces come together:

Lighting and Fixtures: Electricians return to install light fixtures, switches, and plugs.

Plumbing Fixtures: Faucets, sinks, toilets, and tubs go in.

Appliances: Stoves, fridges, dishwashers are installed.

Each item requires testing and inspections. Don’t rush this phase, mistakes here are costly.

7. Landscaping and Exterior Work

Don’t forget the outside!

Driveways, sidewalks, porches are poured or installed.

Sod or seed for lawns.

Fencing, decks, or patios are built.

Many builders don’t include full landscaping, so budget separately.

8. Final Walkthrough and Move-In

Before you get keys:

Punch List: You and your builder will inspect everything and note incomplete or incorrect items.

Final Inspections: Local inspectors will ensure everything is up to code.

Certificate of Occupancy (CO): This legal doc says your home is ready to live in.

Take your time during the walkthrough. Test windows, doors, lights, outlets, faucets. Don’t assume anything.

💡 Pro Tips I Learned Along the Way:

Track everything in a spreadsheet—costs, schedules, contacts, receipts.

Document every stage with photos.

Show up often—your presence alone keeps subs more accountable.

Expect delays—weather, supply chain, subcontractor availability.

Choose your finishes early—delays often come from indecision or backorders.

Final Thoughts

The home construction process is more like a marathon than a sprint. You’ll face decision fatigue, weather delays, and maybe a few budgeting nightmares—but you’ll also feel deeply proud when it’s done.

You’ll walk into a space that didn’t exist before, designed for your life, with your own fingerprints on every inch. That’s a rare and awesome feeling.
