    As you get older the existential dread of not getting things done fades. I’m fact, I’m now proud that I blew off putting things away for so long that I’ve moved five times and I still have stuff from those boxes I packed during the first move still in the same boxes 👍

    Obviously those things will come with me to the next home. I can’t just throw away old cables! They don’t go bad! Some day I’m going to be the hero that still has the proprietary cable that connects a specific model year, early 90s vintage mini video camera to RCA and composite connectors!

      Some day I’m going to be the hero that still has the proprietary cable that connects a specific model year, early 90s vintage mini video camera to RCA and composite connectors!

      If you’re me someone will find the Grail cable at the estate sale, because no one I know needs it and also I don’t talk to them anyway.

      I actually had to find that cable this year because my mom wanted to digitize old home movies.

      Definitely a justification to keep the rest.

    Hey ADHD friends, I recommend the self help book Atomic Habits. I’m not perfect and neither is the book, but I’m make genuine progress on a lot of long term goals using some things I learned in there. It’s not specifically for ADHD but it helped me get over the lack of apparent progress when I apply myself because I document what I’m doing to work towards them.

    I’m still a fucking disaster tho.
