I like going home at the end of my shift. Sometimes the task can wait.

Trick is to give that task to yesterday

blargiman t1_j40mqq8 wrote

ive learned that i can make the weekend force a weekday to stop putting it off because the weekend doesn't like doing the chores the weekday should have done.

i like to imagine this comic redone with "saturday" looking like a gargantuan swole gigachad staring angrily at "friday" being like "don't even think about it" and friday panic passes the task back to thursday and thursday finally gets his ass in gear and does it.

i speak from irl experience because this literally just happened to me and is the only way i ever get anything done now. :p

Past me is a bro. I'll have a brain fart and put a thing somewhere and then a few days later when I need that thing it will be in the exact right place at the right time.

Like, I'll use the drill for a thing, then instead of putting it away like I should I'll put it down somewhere I don't normally put it. Then a few days later I need the drill and it will be sitting right beside what I need to work on.

One of the first lessons I had to learn about being a grownup versus being a student (from my professional experience anyways) is that stuff doesn’t wrap up like it did.

You used to have semesters end, jobs segmented into little chunks for you, tasks carefully curated. Now there’s a todo list a mile long, and you (or your boss) has to prioritize.

And that’s okay! It’s just…different. And discouraging, until you figure it out.

waetherman t1_j4168ry wrote

Yesterday-waetherman is an asshole. I can’t tell you how many times he’s left me behind on a deadline, with a mountain of work just because he wanted to sit on his lazy ass and watch tv or play video games, or just sit around and do nothing at all. Worse is when he either overeats or gets drunk and I’m the one who has to deal with the extra weight or hangover. I really hate him.

Luckily, tomorrow-waetherman is very understanding and very productive, so I’m sure I can just leave things for him to deal with and he can catch up.

Idk about ADHD but I have a terrible memory, particularly regarding work-based matters and conversations, because my anxiety means I'm often not "present" in the conversation and am instead racing ahead in my mind worrying and trying to plan this future work, instead of paying attention in the moment.

Perhaps ADHD has a similar effect on someone's ability to focus in the moment, meaning they forget things people say etc.

Yes. ADHD can affect memory formation for both short term and long term memory.

Think about a time you walk into a room and then forget why you're there. You're sure it was important, but for the life of you, you just can't recall why you are there. Now, imagine that it happens constantly. You need to do dishes. Walk to the kitchen, forget, see the dishes, but you still don't remember because you're so focused on trying to remember that the visual cue doesn't trigger a memory. You stand there for a while then decide to do the laundry. You get to your bedroom, forget, and think that it's time to take a nap. So you nap.

My wife has to remind me all the time to do things. I'm not mad at her, it's just that my memory needs a kick start. At work I HAVE to write things down or I will forget to do them and it will reflect negatively on me. I genuinely don't know if I'll ever be able to get a promotion because of this disability. I can't blame a company for not wanting to promote someone who can't function correctly into a position of trust with large sums of money and responsibility over several dozen people.

This disability will NEVER go away. It will NEVER heal. I have to take medication for the rest of my life and if I stop I will become so dysfunctional that I will need near constant babysitting to keep me from causing chaos. ADHD fucking sucks.

There’s a French mini-series called ‘Bref’ (means ‘short’ And is like a small work like ‘so’ Or ‘anyhow’) and one of the episodes is called ‘Anyway, I’m pushing off everything to tomorrow’.

In that episode, Tomorrow is a real guy following the main character who gets all the stuff from him as he’s ‘pushing everything off to Tomorrow’. In the end, Tomorrow goes ‘My name’s Tomorrow. When this guy gives me something, I push it off to Never’. Never is another guy who eats every post-it note Tomorrow gives him!

I will think of like 20 things I need to do. I will think “I should write this down, I won’t recall all of this”. I will be busy with something else and forget to write the things down. Days later, I will remember 2 or 3 of the 20 things. I will stress about the remainder that I cannot remember.

Are you me?

I think this shit plagues me. Sadly, I must admit… I’m so distracted (undisciplined? spoiled/privileged? ADHD? all of the above?) that I’m sitting here on reddit instead of getting ready for work. But even during the regular work day, this affects my memory. Like, right now, I’ve got a ton of interesting ideas on things I wanna pursue and research (as well as slack off, like what I’m doing here) instead of thinking/focusing on what’s important right now. Probably because it’s just too easy.

But when I’m in “the zone,” it’s the complete opposite.

Anyone here actually talk to their past-future selves?

Example of a talk to tomorrow-me: Sink full of dishes. "I know I'm not gonna wanna do these tomorrow.. but I just can't tonight." Me in the morning, "Ya, I did say I'd do them in the morning. Sucks, but yeah, I was real tired."

or Me-In-Four-Years: "Are we sure? We can't be. This is the best decision I can make right now. Whatever it is, let's be ok with it." In four years: "I remember I tried my best back then. Ok, I'll live with it."

Interesting interpretation.

If that were the case there's be no tomorrow to take the task from him in the first place, though.

That would be a neat alternative comic - the guy just keeps passing the task to tomorrow and one day there's just no-one to take it.

Haha, I thought I had ADHD for months and months. Everything I read about it seemed to point to my exact symptoms, struggles and experiences. It was only when my chronic procrastination got me in trouble at work that I sought out a therapist. She didn't think I had ADHD after I told her everything, and instead helped me realise what I actually have is very acute, very suppressed anxiety. Which has ADHD-like symptoms with distraction (avoidance), procrastination, memory issues for example.

A YouTuber I admire called Better Ideas has a great mantra for procrastination. "Inaction is a slow death". Taking action we're afraid of is painful, but the pain of leaving it to grow and fester in our mind is worse over time. Better to choose the short term pain and just get ready for work, because the personal pain and guilt and stress of being late, or not going, or getting in trouble for it with your boss will feel worse in the long run.
