By the way, you can improve your executive function. You can literally build it like a muscle.

Yes, even if you're neurodivergent. I don't have ADHD, but it is allegedly a thing with ADHD as well. And I am autistic, and after a bunch of nerve damage (severe enough that I was basically housebound for 6 months), I had to completely rebuild my ability to get my brain to Do Things from what felt like nearly scratch.

This is specifically from ADDitude magazine, so written specifically for ADHD (and while focused in large part on kids, also definitely includes adults and adult activities):

How to Sharpen Executive Functions: Activities to Hone Brain Skills

Executive functioning skills range from working memory to cognitive flexibility to inhibitory control, and beyond. They power our daily func

Here's a link on this for autism (though as an editor wow did that title need an editor lol):

Resources on this aren't great because they're mainly aimed at neurotypical therapists or parents of neurdivergent children. There's worksheets you can do that help a lot too or thought work you can do to sort of build the neuro-infrastructure for tasks.

But a lot of the stuff is just like. fun. Pulling from both the first article and my own experience:

Play games or video games where you have to make a lot of decisions. Literally go make a ton of picrews or do online dress-up dolls if you like. It helped me.

Art, especially forms of art that require patience, planning ahead, or in contrast improvisation

Listening to longform storytelling without visuals, e.g. just listening regularly to audiobooks or narrative podcasts, etc.

Meditation

Martial arts

Sports in general

Board games like chess or Catan (I actually found a big list of what board games are good for building what executive functioning skills here)

Woodworking

Cooking

If you're bad at time management play games or video games with a bunch of timers

Things can be easier. You might always have a disability around this (I certainly always will), but it can be easier. You do not have to be this stuck forever.

PLEASE DON'T SCROLL PAST

TIME SENSITIVE

Help me help my former coworker cover the last of her medical expenses and leave the greedy hospital for good!

The last post lost traction 4 days ago, and I had to dip into my savings AND take out loans instead to help C pay to get discharged. Only for the hospital to keep surprising us with even MORE hidden charges! 😡😭

C's region's local government does NOT offer aid for these types of situations, and she is currently estranged from her family.

If you don't believe me, here's the full story in parts:

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

⏫ Translation in alt text, just tap on "ALT" on the lower left corner of the images to read.

She needs to pay $152 (₱8,800) within the deadline the hospital gave her, which is 3-5 days from yesterday (August 7 our timezone), so the latest due date is August 12 our timezone. That would be August 11 in most places across the world.

I also want to be able to help C get back on her feet after she's finally freed from the hospital, so she'll need help covering food, lodging, and other misc expenses. I believe $50 (₱2,900) will cover that for a while.

Please, we are getting desperate. Neither of us have the means to cover this at the moment, and we'd appreciate if you can reblog this post if you see it.

She doesn't have a P*yp*l account, so I use my account from my more active days as an artist and act as her proxy.

Everything here will be sent to her ASAP.

hi hello yes here is the context! vivi and i are doing an 800 level revenge chain to try to get on the top three chains of this season. for the first three days we’re doing 20 attacks each, before going down to 13 attacks a day (apd) (unless we want to increase our apd later on)

photo quality is bad since i don’t have a lot of time to neatly convert these trad drawings to digital 😭
