 broke brains buddiesIf my parents weren't such laissez-faire hippies I'd have been diagnosed at a young age. Instead I only got help in my late 20s and completely burnt out a few years later. I've now got a few months to try to figure out what kind of job I'd hate the least. Shoutout to the socialist government from decades ago for allowing me live a life of self perceived terror instead of actually inflicting it. poo poo's hard though as I never managed to figure out what I actually want to do with my life. e/n out

music with lyrics is generally distracting for most people, especially compared to music with no lyrics. it can be somewhat mitigated if you're super familiar with the music. there were a ton of studies about how classical music is way better for learning that pop music, etc. but when people did more research it was the lack of lyrics that was the significant difference not the instruments/arrangement of classical. this is why I listen to dj mixes while I work [and sometimes classical]

"This was a jumping-off point to inform what the community really wants," Bopp told Crain's. "... From there, we're going to let the audience dictate where this works." Bedrock is paying Chariot to operate the free rides for employees as a pilot program, with plans of expanding the downtown commuter service to be open to the general public, Bopp said. Bedrock declined to disclose the cost of Chariot's service. "Once the service has really gained traction, our goal is to make these routes public facing," Bopp said. "We're building a demand case scenario internally. And then we look to make this publicly accessible." lol

I have a di.fm subscription specifically for this. They really need a "trace but never ever lyrics" station. I really should start expensing it to the company.

NOP sled fred posted:not diagnosing you or anything but these are literally ADHD traits you're describing, people with ADHD will often hyper focus on one thing for an extended period of time to the detriment of other things going on and are significantly worse at multitasking than normal people and this is the problem with doing mental health over the internet. so many disorders have such a broad range of symptoms that literally everyone on earth displays some of them sometimes, and many of the symptoms are just exaggerated versions of normal human behaviors. everyone gets sad sometimes but that's not depression. everyone focuses better on some things than on others but that's not ADHD. but non-professionals don't know where to draw the line between normal variation and pathology. like, people might read this diagnostic criterion: quote:Become bored with a task after only a few minutes, unless doing something they find enjoyable and think - well obviously i like to do things that are enjoyable to me and i focus well on those - things that are not enjoyable i suppose are, by definition, boring or tiring - i do get bored when doing something i don't enjoy, and would rather be doing something else - oh no do I have ADD?? but that's not ADD at all. my father was a psychiatrist, my mother was a special ed teacher, I know what actual ADD/ADHD is and it isn't "i like to do things i like and get bored doing things i don't." it also is not "i focus really well for long periods and have trouble quickly switching to something else." i mean if you wanted to put me on an internet diagnosis that really sounds more like a  thing doesn't it

also while we're on the subject, all the latest psychology research shows that "multitasking" is a fallacy, and that people are not capable of mentally handling more than one thing at a time. so-called multitaskers are switching their attention rapidly from one task to another, still only doing one at a time. notably, this means that a multitasker doing e.g. three tasks at once performs no better (and in many cases worse) than someone who just does the three tasks in sequence. obviously in some situations there are benefits to juggling multiple things at once, but the idea that you can improve your results or save time overall by "multitasking" is wrong.

yeah, i do sometimes type while talking to people, and i'm sure it shows in my post quality actually all my posts suck for real tho, that's about the most i can manage of "multitasking": finishing a sentence i was already typing while looking away from the screen because someone started talking to me. i'm generally terrible at it though, most people talk about how they watch tv or listen to podcasts while playing games and i legit can't do that since i lose the thread of one or the other thing constantly.

ate all the Oreos posted:before i got meds to treat it i was pretty much only ever productive (as in able to focus and engage with what i was doing for a whole day) for like, one or two days each month, if that, and i just figured this was normal because i'd never experienced anything else. i also had a bunch of impulse control problems where i wouldn't think before doing something like telling my boss to go shove it, and whenever i'd go through a doorway i'd forget what i was doing. i know that last one happens to everyone sometimes because of the way the brain manages spaces and thresholds but it didn't happen to me sometimes, it happened to me pretty much every time. I think I might talk to my doc about this. I always just assumed I was a terrible procrastinator/lazy. Like if something is urgent and needs to be done now, or it's a problem I find interesting, I will just crush it immediately. But if there's something that doesn't have a deadline or high urgency and it doesn't interest me it just doesn't get done. I will just gently caress off and do literally anything but stop and focus on it. A buddy of mine's life changed after he got ADD meds as an adult like 10 years ago.

again, if you choose not to do something that (1) doesn't have high urgency and (2) doesn't interest you, instead choosing to do something more interesting or timely, that is normal human behavior. if you think that your procrastination is negatively impacting your life then sure, absolutely speak to a doctor/therapist, that's the definition of a pathology. maybe you do have ADD. maybe you could develop some strategies to help. but don't confuse the protestant work ethic (or rather your lack thereof) with a medical disorder.

I can sort of deal with it if I don't know the song but if I do, I'm busy reproducing the song in my head as it goes and that seems to use all of my language processing capacity and I can't think about whatever I'm doing. But of course if I don't know the song I don't know if I will want to listen to it, so it's lyric-less video game music for me. I wonder if this has been studied at all - like the harmony and rhythm processing and language processing are distinct enough to be activated separately. also wonder if people who can listen to lyrical music are also the types who can fall asleep with a tv on. I try that and I will never sleep because I'm just endlessly processing the words being said, even if it's at a low volume
