I used to maintain a zero unread mailbox. At some point I stopped. Email is just a public global todo list, than any one can write to. It’s okay not to read them all.
The only reason my inbox stopped being 100% read as soon as I got an email was because 99% of the email became spam.
I get three seperate emails every single time I purchase something and pay digitally. It’s unfeasible to keep a zero inbox.
You can always delete the mail without reading and keep your zero unread mailbox.
well, I don’t care anymore. I just unsubscribe and run sieve filters to get rid of junk mail. That’s something I hate with a passion!
The potential thing has to be one of the most damaging things you can say to someone. Not many things instill quite as much self-doubt.
I’m nearly 24 and recently I realised that the fact I heard that sentence seemingly on loop my entire life is perhaps the most contributing factor in my self doubt and anxiety :) I hate it, I’m trying so hard to unlearn it
I got almost a decade on you, I got diagnosed at the end of 2021, it’s taken years of therapy to unlearn some of those behaviours. Seriously don’t beat yourself up over it
Yep. Like “You could achieve so much if only you put in a little effort”. 🗡️😵 Thanks for noticing how much effort I put in, I’ll be sure to try again in the future.
I feel personally attacked
EDIT: You gotta pump those email numbers up
I feel proud of myself, by mass deleting a bunch of repetitive shit from Amazon and the like I got mine down to 2k before I got bored and stopped because I don’t care
also diagnosed ADHD starter park unfortunately
Ooh, I feel more attacked by this one than usual. Fortunately my headphones have made it into the Master Checklist of things I am supposed to have on my person before leaving whatever location I find myself in.
And of course I’m a checklist creating machine, but that Master Checklist is the only one that I’ve committed to memory and actually use. I guess in that sense it’s a real checklist and not just another to-do list.
Also this:
Serious question, could it get better with treatment? That’s me, and I don’t like it.
There are various medications, but you should visit a doctor to see what is the best way for you to go about it.
Yes, I do plan that. I just can’t get myself up to call. It’s on my to do list :-|
Yeah, no, just do it
fuck this hits hard. I need to get myself diagnosed
