ADD Tip: You Can Change The Goals On Your To-do List!

ADD Tip: You can change the goals on your to-do list!

As your needs and your situation change during the day, don't be afraid to cross out and replace items on your to-do list.

And if you accomplished something that wasn't on your to-do list, write it down and check it off!

This will help you maintain a more realistic idea of your productivity during the day, as well as identify any particular things that may be hindering your productivity or taking up too much of your time.

Photograph of a checklist written in pencil on lined 4 x 6 inch notepaper, dated "Tues. 2/04/25" with checkboxes drawn next to each of twenty-six list items. Each item is either checked off, crossed out, or left alone. A quick glance reveals that the seven "intended" list items are mostly crossed out or left alone, while the nineteen "extra" list items, all having to do with either "Mom" or "Dad," are all checked off.

The list items are as follows: 
Do yoga (crossed out).
Check brake lines (crossed out).
Lunch! (left alone).
Study for certification exam 2 hrs (crossed out).
Offer to cook dinner so Mom can wash dishes (checked off, annotated "no").
Call Jerry about painting (crossed out).
Wash dishes? Make dinner? (checked off, "wash dishes" is circled, "make dinner" is crossed out).
From this point on, all entries are checked off.
Help Mom donate to Sylvia's Go Fund Me.
Explain to Mom that Joe S. and Joe K. are two different people (three check boxes, all checked off).
Make sure that Mom's taken her meds (annotated "yes").
Prove to Mom I already helped her donate 2 Sylvia.
Reprogram heat pump.
Convince Mom to leave heat pump controls alone (there is a question mark by the check box).
From this point on, the printing gets sloppier.
Help Dad move old compressor.
Help Mom cook dinner.
Explain to Dad that computer was already on, reboot.
Calm Dad down & get him to leave Mom alone.
Clean up mess at dining table.
Find Mom a teevee show to watch.
Clean up mess in kitchen.
Explain teevee show to Mom.
Explain to Dad (why furbies aren't MOGAI is crossed out) difference between furries & furbies is added.
Listen to Dad rant about quote deviants unquote.
Prove to Mom she already took her dentures out.
The last 2 items are crammed into the bottom margin of the paper.
Let Mom cry on my shoulder.
Mop kitchen floor.

I volunteered last year with a retired engineer who once transported a space probe instrument from San Antonio, Texas, to Berne, Switzerland, in a series of inanities that would make an incredible Wes Anderson movie.

It's hard to study contemporary American cryptids, because they don't have unique names. Instead of fanciful names like "Jersey Devil" or "Sasquatch," most new cryptids don't have distinct names, people just use common words like "woman" or "criminal," even when they're referring to imaginary, non-human beings with supernatural powers.

If I wrote a zombie apocalypse story, guns and ammo would be hard to come by, because all the gun nuts and survivalists and preppers looted them first thing, and hoarded them.

Most of the guns and ammo that remain are rusting away in the zombie-infested ruins of these people's compounds. Most of them made up their own little stories about where the zombies were coming from, and paid the price.

My local library has thrown away its reference section. "That stuff is all online, now."

They have thrown away most of their archive. What remains is buried in the basement under junk, and all record of its contents is lost. They have no interest in doing anything with it.

For job hunting tips, we direct you to the three biggest job hunting websites.

Homework help and tutoring comes from a local NGO, when they can afford it, although they do use our building.

We do finally have crafts, though! We turned the quiet room and the young adult reading area into a luxurious crafting station.

Legal aid isn't available. We can refer you to a local lawyer, or that local NGO. But you can look up documents online, and print them for free!

I tried to provide compassionate human connection when I worked there, but that's one of the reasons I was let go. Apparently that's something patrons are supposed to provide each other.

And we still have books! We have more and more books about fewer and fewer things, and soon we will have more fiction than ever, we just have to get rid of all the useless nonfiction that's not about hobbies, home renovation, cooking, or poetry. Nobody ever reads those books, they're just taking up space we could use for James Patterson novels!

Truly, there's no better time to visit your local library.

Olivia's -- and Nix's -- incredulity as she discovers one by one the various shenanigans Open and Shut got up to in Season 1 is a beautiful thing... I am going to miss her reactions at the end of this arc! I hope the next guest player gets similarly surprised...

I can draw, but not very fast.

I have thousands of shitposts, rants, and essays sitting in notebooks, left over from decades of not using social media or having many friends. Hold on tight.
