adhd fatigue

It’s Friday, which means my #adhd brain is tired from the week as I worked a little too long on a couple of days. It’s a lot easier to get distracted on Friday morning and a lot less motivating to get the day going. I try to limit my hours of work per day but I’ve been experimenting with change the last couple of weeks.

Maybe it’s worth it to get what I can get done on some days, striking while the iron/hyperfocus is hot? It must all even out in the end.

Or this could simply be the result of 3 straight nights of mediocre sleep.

Hi, I’m Arp! I got diagnosed with ADHD at 49, and now I'm trying to figure out what's me, what's masking, and just about everything else. I make comics (when imposter syndrome isn't striking) and write about life as a creative Indian-American. I’m self-taught, self-employed, and self-flagellating.

A belated #Caturday to the #Fediverse! Here’s the queen of the house wondering why we don’t just wait by her food bowl 24/7 to give her food every 5 minutes. #Cat #Cats #Felines #CaturdayEveryday

One of the worst things about having #adhd is getting an idea and forgetting it in the few seconds it takes to find my notes app to write it down 🤦🏽‍♂️

If you’re wondering whether a #LowFat or #LowCarb #diet is better, wonder no more with these randomized control trials. I’ve gone hardcore #vegan and hardcore #paleo and only in the latter did weight just melt off within the first month with no exercise at all. It’s not coincidental that the obesity rate in the US shot up after a low fat diet was recommended in 1977. I’m currently researching a #keto diet for both longevity & mental health.

Is there any interest in a series of #WordPress / #GeneratePress / #WooCommerce #videos where I build a print-on-demand #merch site from scratch? I always want to share what I know but the lack of time usually puts the kibosh on it.

gandalf looking indian dude with a medium haired calico cat, sunlight streaming on their faces. also i don’t know what ‘calico’ is but it sounds right.
She must like me, she sits up here almost every morning purring while I have my coffee. Today we’re graced with some lovely (albeit blinding) sunlight. Also: she’s almost 17 and deaf, yet still pretty darn spry. #Caturday #CaturdayEveryday #Cat #Cats #CatLovers #Catstodon

Every 10-14 days I have a night where I get 3-4h of #sleep. I wonder if it’s triggered by stress or what (I have an 8am doc appt and decent sleep was a must). Mostly I wish I could sleep through the night more consistently, this has gotta be an adhd thing.
