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.

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.

Three weeks later, I'm lounging on the beach of an incredibly far away island, reading about how the kingdom collapsed basically instantaneously because the "new guy" they hired couldn't sanctify the literal hellgates across the entirety of the kingdom. The ones they originally hired my sect to pacify and draw magic from.

years ago, my mom bought me a dipping crepe maker and I'm happy to announce that it doesn't work

I just tried to use it for the first time (read the manual, watched a few videos, measured everything) and tried to make Easter pancakes and the batter wouldn't stick to the pan but started cooking in the dipping bowl

so to save the batter I tried to make a regular pancake and mixed the whole batter together and it turned into an interesting mass

I managed to make a pancake

one singular pancake

like 3kg heavy pancake

it fed 5 people

it was great, it tasted really good

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.

When calculating years, especially by dividing large numbers of hours, does anybody else divide by 365.25 instead of 365 to account for leap years automatically?

Or am I just being dumb/extra. I can't actually tell anymore.
