ADHD

You wake up on Monday morning. It's 10:00 A.M. You have the whole day ahead of you - a new week to do the best that you can do to be a functional human being. There's only one small, //slight// drawback. You aren't a normal human being. You have ADHD- Attention Hyperactive Attention Disorder. Your brain is hardwired to make tasks that're simple for other people unnecessarily complicated for you. How fortunate. But on another note, who are you? What is your gender/ what are your pronouns? [[He/Him->He/Him]] [[She/Her->She/Her]] [[They/Them->They/Them]]

Gotcha! You're a dude. As I was saying- You wake up at 10 in the morning on a Monday. You check your phone- your girlfriend texted you. You made plans to spend time with her after class. You have class at 1:00 PM Monday and Wedensday, 3:00 on Tuesday and Thursday, and homework due every day of the week except Friday. Keep all that in mind- if you can. But those are all later problems. For now, you have three options to start your day. You can: [[Get up and get ready for class.->Get ready for class]] [[Hit snooze on your alarm. ->Hit snooze]] [[Go back to sleep entirely- fuck the alarm.->Go back to sleep ]]

Gotcha! You're a woman. You wake up at 10 in the morning on a Monday. You check your phone- your girlfriend texted you. You made plans to spend time with her after class.

You get up and get ready for class. You've got two and a half hours before you have to be on campus, that's plenty of time, right? Awesome. To be a productive human being, you need to: [[Eat->Thirty minute time sink]] [[Brush your teeth->Ten minute time sink]] [[Shower->Hour time sink]] [[Get dressed->15 minute time sink]] [[Pack your shit->Five minute time sink]] That being said, you COULD also (if you wanted to, that is): (text-style:"expand","rumble")[(bg:(gradient: 0, 0,#ffffff,0.5029,#ff2600,1,#ffffff))[[[WATCH TV->FUCK!]]]!] (text-style:"shudder")[(bg:(gradient: 0, 0,#ffffff,0.5029,#ff2600,1,#ffffff))[[[LOOK AT YOUR PHONE->FUCK!]]]!] (text-style:"sway")[(bg:(gradient: 0, 0,#ffffff,0.5029,#ff2600,1,#ffffff))[[[PLAY VIDEO GAMES->FUCK!]]]!]

You hit snooze and sleep for another thirty minutes. That's fine- you don't have class until 1:00. That being said, you should be out of the house by 12:30 if you're gonna make it on time. But it's cool, you have plenty of time to do what you gotta do.

You wake up after going back to sleep without setting an alarm. What time is it? [[Check time.->FUCK!]]

Oh fuck, oh shit. It's already 12:30- how is it already 12:30? Goddamit, it happened again. You're gonna be late. How many times has this happened this semester? You have two options. You can suck it up and go to class, which doesn't seem like a big deal. But... you know what's waiting for you. //The look.// God, you HATE the look. The one your classmates shoot you when you walk in late, that makes you feel like you can read their minds. They're thinking, //"Why're you even here if you can't take this shit seriously? Don't you know you pay to be here? Don't you know you're disrupting us every time you pull this stunt?"// Then you get it from your professor, but they shoot it at you for a few reasons. Sometimes they resent you, sometimes they pitty you. Either way you feel like an asshole. So yeah, you could [[suck it up->Suck it up.]]. Or, you could- and here me out...

You brush your teeth. Congrats! That's ten minutes off your radar. Don't forget to go to class, though. Remember the commute time too. What time is it? Nevermind. Now, you can- [[Eat->Thirty minute time sink]] [[Shower->Hour time sink]] [[Get dressed->15 minute time sink]] [[Pack your shit->15 minute time sink]] By the way, did I also mention, THESE options? They're //really// fun.

You get in the shower. The water is warm, and your thoughts start drifting. A daydream- a nice one. In what feels like an instant, you're absorbed in your mind and nothing else in the universe is real. Then, you're back to reality, and the world becomes tangible again. [[Wasn't there something else you were supposed to be thinking about?->FUCK!]]

You pack your stuff for class. Good job! It only took you fifteen minutes today. The rest of what you have to do before class: [[Eat->Thirty minute time sink]] [[Brush your teeth->Ten minute time sink]] [[Shower->Hour time sink]] [[Get dressed->15 minute time sink]] (text-style:"expand","rumble")[(bg:(gradient: 0, 0,#ffffff,0.5029,#ff2600,1,#ffffff))[[[WATCH TV->FUCK!]]]!] (text-style:"shudder")[(bg:(gradient: 0, 0,#ffffff,0.5029,#ff2600,1,#ffffff))[[[LOOK AT YOUR PHONE->FUCK!]]]!] (text-style:"sway")[(bg:(gradient: 0, 0,#ffffff,0.5029,#ff2600,1,#ffffff))[[[PLAY VIDEO GAMES->FUCK!]]]!]
