  • I like to deal in absolutes when it comes to not psyching myself out from doing things. It very much is a mind game and also could be me coping with my social anxiety. If you’re able to medicate your ADHD take some time while you’re on your meds to make definitive plans (where you’re going and what time). It has helped me tremendously.

    Just today I said I was going to go to a few select places with a definitive start and end point. I did have to remove some places cause I ended up having conversations with people that kept me somewhere longer than expected, but that's a good reason to not follow through on my general plans.
    





  • You can block auto play in Firefox and related browsers FYI (dunno about other browsers off the top of my head). I guarantee you that the web devs that made this also hate it, but the higher ups/marketing dept demanded it. Speaking as a person who has been in web dev for a little over a decade, I hate this shit, but all the pushback will do nothing unless you can find a way that would make the company legally liable.



  • Check your local library for any free sewing classes. I got my sewing machine for ~$100 new from Costco, and have been slowly learning how to do it better. I’ve only been at this for a few months now, but here are some tips:

    • When creating a hem use a iron to press the hem down making it easier to pin.
    • When pinning I have found that doing just the corners works when making the patch and then I do full pinning when pinning it to the clothing that I’m patching.
    • Don’t bother with trying to make the patches blend in with the clothes.
    • Double check your placement before you see.

    Tools:

    • Sewing machine
    • Clothes iron
    • Pin cushion
    • Thread ripper
    • Needle threader (nice to have)
    • Cloth scissors (nice to have , and only use that pair for cutting cloth/string)
