I've got a mental list in my head of like 4 things I need to do. 2 are time-sensitive. 2 are things that would make me feel better to do. 2 would improve things.
I'm scrolling on Lemmy. And adding things to my mental to do list.
The lighter side of ADHD

Hard to say if you have 4 or 6 tasks. The 2 time sensitive could easily apply to the other categories keeping it at 4 tasks but it is entirely possible you found 2 more and its 6.
By now I'm sure you've found more anyway :)
Before. Still gonna sit here and scroll on lemmy first though. Totally gonna walk soon right after I check my Masto. Oh damn let me take care of this task I forgot about before I go. Ok well that's done I guess it's time to go wa- damn that late? Ok well I guess it's time to go shower.
I'll treat myself to some takeout tonight, what should I get? I dunno, let's think about it until everything is closed.
Me with my ahdh friend: let's order takeout and meet there!
Result: we each went to a different location, and it turned out we ordered from yet a third location on the other side of town! Luckily, they agreed to stay open until we arrived to pick it up.
I know we always think about walking as some kind of positive metal health thing but whenever I’ve actually gotten out there for a walk I’ve found it boring unless I’m actually going somewhere in particular. If I’m just wandering I feel like I constantly have to think about where I’m going.
Listen to a podcast. Behind the Bastards is the best choice because I guarantee you can find a person in the backlog that you find fascinating.
Atonal screaming ensues
Hardcore History is a solid choice as well, unless he's driving you up a wall both-siding the fucking Imperial Japanese Army
This is me when I'm trying to figure out what to watch. If it's a particularly strugglesome day, I can't get past deciding which app to load on my Roku to start searching for something to watch.
I feel fortunate that this isn't a problem for me (yet.) 🏴☠ streaming website and Youtube is how I watch things these days. Now, finding something that aligns with my interest(s) that moment, day, or week... That's a whole other story.
Okay I call BS, exercise before shower is a no brainer, now which type of exercise or whether to even go, that’s the challenge.
I’m hot and stinky and sticky and I hate living. I need to take a shower!
I’m planning on exercising today, I can’t take a shower until I do that
When should I exercise? I have things to do for work. After I do those things, then!
oh it’s close to lunch time. I’m going to eat.
the dishwasher isn’t unloaded. I’ll do that.
the kitchen rag needs to go to the laundry
oh I should get my clothes into the washing machine
And that’s how I’m cleaning the toilets instead of taking a shower and it’s 6pm and I haven’t worked or worked out or showered and fuuuuuuu
