do stuff while waiting for other stuff
like that sounds intuitive and vague but so much of the day is spent in a period of wait and if you struggle to motivate yourself to do things then this is the best time
waiting for your water to boil? bag up your garbage. waiting for your coffee to drip? wipe down your counters. roommate taking up the bathroom? scoop the cat box. waiting for your food to cook in the microwave? do however many dishes you can while it’s in there.
waiting is the perfect time to do a limited amount of something for yourself where you would be otherwise just standing around doing fuck-all
THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL!
I actually turn this into a game!
“How many chores can I do while the water is boiling for my tea?”
“Can I put away the dishes and wipe the counters before my lunch finishes reheating?”
“Can I sweep the floor AND change the laundry while the dogs are out back?”
You can totally do this! If you make it like a game, also, you will get better at it, and you can be like ‘yes, now I put away the dishes AND wiped out the sink before my water boiled, I am a level 2 Adult!’
Game everything. Make it all into a minigame. Executive dysfunction trembles in the face of ‘how much laundry can I fold between chat replies?’

#thinking process and it helps a lot #executive dysfunction #gamification #adulthood

Pokémon Go Is Having an Effect on Players’ Mental Health

“[H]onestly Pokemon go is probably going to help a lot with people who have depression,” wrote Tumblr user The Awesome Adventurer. “[B]ecause rather than laying in bed all day we are getting up and going outside and actually enjoying ourselves.”

This is awesome! To echo Brute Reason, it doesn’t matter whether or not people are intrinsically motivated to head outside, it’s great that people are finding a reason to get outside.
