    A few weeks ago I managed to sit down for a few hours to put all my ongoing tasks and projects in fucking project management software in order to be able to follow it up better. I’m now afraid of opening the software to look at the mountain of collected work therein.

      I’ve got so many dead tasks management tools that I spent a day setting up.

        Oh, but have you tried [insert software that has 8-billion tools, all of which you ignore and you just use as a notepad]?

    I realized that even if the archive is unwieldy, the act of saving satisfies the itch. So I’m not saving to necessarily look at it later. I’m saving so that the annoying part of my brain fucks off and I can enjoy my day in peace.

      I really appreciate this viewpoint. Most of the satisfaction I get is from bookmarking and organizing my bookmarks. That being said, I routinely go through my bookmarks and revisit things.

      You got this!

    You laugh but I’m glad Ive got a picture of my driver’s license favorited so I can find my license number easily without having to get up and find my wallet when some random form wants it.

    Never mind that I still remember my Windows 95 license key but can’t remember my own driver’s license number.

        A lot. I had a Packard Bell 486 that came with 3.1 and a free upgrade. Except I would constantly get “Explorer.exe has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down” error.

        One day I decided to compress the hard drive and for some reason, that fixed it. It never happened again.

    Listen. That e-ink display I’ve got tucked away in a screenshot and an open tab is important and I will look at it later and decide whether I want to do that project.

    The most recent thing I remember losing is a website/blog explaining how video encoding works, and algorithm of different encodings; written by someone who has written different implementations in rust. It has really good explainations that I just skimmed through, bookmarked it, then lost it. If the other ADHD folks have ever seen something like that, please let me know, I’ll have to re-add it for that one day.
