I resist doing any of that in the first place because it's just giving in to an unhealthy habit. The time and attention I spent cataloging was supposed to be for something else.
- andybak 4y agoThis is the quickest way I can get round indecision. Do I need this? Not sure... One click to stop worrying about it and move on. I certainly strive to do no cataloguing or sorting of this stuff. That was an early valuable lesson I learned (even before getting diagnosed)
- marmetio 4y agoThe click is cataloging.
- andybak 4y agoYou are technically correct.
- marmetio 4y agoWhat's important is that it's reinforcing a bad habit.
- andybak 4y agoThe "bad habit" is poor impulse control and failure to control focus. That's something that is so central to ADHD that all I can ever really hope to do is mitigate it. Sometimes having 50 tabs open is a sign that I'm distracted and sometimes it's a sign up being really productive. All I can hope to do is make sure that the needle swings to the latter more often than the former and that I have a good strategy to recover when it doesn't.
- marmetio 4y agoI was coached+medicated out of doing the same thing.
