(seriously so many days i’m like “i have all afternoon I’ma Do a Thing” and then i just kinda buzz around and do Nothing and think “WHY” and then i’m like “oh yeah i’m really fuckening tired”)
-gotta be Excited About It (ADHD brain only does things if they’re Literally the Most Interesting Thing Happening Right Now) (so like, hype yourself up to work on a project, or think about how happy you’ll be with a cleaner room/all those chores done)
-gotta have small, doable first step (like, “get cloth from fabric drawer” or “open google docs”
-FUCK distractions (computer is in drawer, phone is Off)
-Engage the Senses (if task needs Brain, play vague background Music, if task needs No Brain, listen to audiobook/podcast)
-maybe set time limit so i don’t get lost??? e.g. i have a little egg timer that i use because the ticking isn’t distracting but is enough to remind me that Time is a Thing that is Passing Right Now
-gotta have Self Awareness and Thinky about the Moment (get into the habit of Consciously Noticing what you’re doing at the moment, so you’re more likely to go “wait, this isn’t what i wanted to be doing” and be able to redirect)
-be willing to redirect and try to do something else if whatever you want to do Just Isn’t Happening
-DON’T beat yourself up for only doing part of something, or failing entirely- all that does is make your brain associate “trying to do stuff” with “well that SUCKED”. Which means you don’t want to try again. Tell urself u did good for trying, and if it didn’t work, try again later, or figure out why it didn’t work and try a different way. Reward yourself for trying
this is what i’ve figured out about cajoling the Thinky No Worky Brain into Doing Stuff. it’s not 100% reliable, especially if I forget to do some of these things (like SLEEP), but it’s what i got, ya know??
I dreamed that I was playing mariokart and there was a track that took 3 days to complete and when I somehow managed to get 1st place a popup came onscreen that had a pic of koopa troopa and text that read âcongratulations!! youâre gonna have so much sexâ and I started laughing so hard I woke up
That last comment isnât even a joke they are literally part of the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors group.
I agree with the ideas from the original tweet thread, but I wanted to address the reblog here, which claims that the Breakthrough Institute are part of the Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors group. When I tried to verify this, I found conflicting information. Their wikipedia page doesnât mention Rockefeller (though that isnât definitive proof that they arenât related), and states that they are registered as a nonprofit:
And when I tried to search for their name + âRockefeller Philanthropy,â I found this page which claims they are NOT a nonprofit, but rather part of the larger Rockefeller Philanthropy group:
But this was the only place where I found them described as part of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. Admittedly Iâm not that great at research on corporate structures, so I might be missing something, but Iâm not positive thereâs a link there?? Idk, anyone with a source on this claim, feel free to hit me up.
That said, I read the article, and while I actually agree to a certain extent with the conclusion (which is that vilifying corporations by itself wonât remove the global populationâs dependency on oil, and that greater structural change is needed), boy HOWDY is the rest of the article some corporation apologia nonsense. âEnvironmental activists caught a lobbyist admitting to horrible things, but Exxonâs PR guy said none of it was true so therefore itâs just made up!! Waaah activists just believe what they want to believe and canât function without making up a boogeyman to blame for all the worldâs problems!!â
