Still not getting caught up, but Iāve figured out a couple of important things. One, I realized I had gotten into a bad habit with Taskwarrior: Iād skip past all the overdue non-daily items to get to the daily stuff. That led to me treating all the overdue stuff as something to ignore. So Iām putting a priority on my dailies, so I can go back to ādo the top item on the to-do list first,ā like it ought to be.
While talking to my sister, she questioned why I wasnāt taking meds for ADHD, since sheād noticed a big difference when I did so (back when we lived in the same town). I shared the gospel of Vitamin D, and said that over the not-all-that-long term the benefits of stimulants had lessened and the side effects increased. It happens for some folks, and Iām one of the āluckyā ones who is really slow at metabolizing extended-release stuff.
But that got me to thinking, hey, is the benefit of the D āwearing offā? That would be weird, but Iām not as focused as I was. And then I realized that my new bottle of name-brand vitamins didnāt actually have as much D in them as the store-brand one had, whoops. So I got a bottle of plain D and am building my levels back up to hopefully-normal there.
Gonna talk to my doctor about trying the meds again though. Evidently there are newer not-as-extended release formulations, so maybe Iāll have better luck with one of those. Not having a vitamin deficiency helps, but thereās a limit to what it has fixed. And maybe Iāll acclimate to the stimulant in just a few months again, but at least thatāll be a few months of improved productivity, right?
Heck, if it just lasts through the plush-dragon backlog thatāll be an improvement, oof.
