There's a new productivity timer game with a demo out and it has a pretty robust character creator?? I could actually make my vtubing avatar 🤍🖤

((Shoutouts to Cade aka @charliearlet for telling me about it!!))

In other news that isn't me being slammed into the pavement emotionally by RSD,.....

I bought a productivity timer that's supposed to be super easy to use. I saw it on the How To ADHD channel where she went shopping at Staples, gasped, said, "I need that!" and went to Staples. it cost me $10. The batteries to run it cost me $13.

I had a really hard time starting projects I'm supposed to do. I keep forgetting to set timers on my phone. So, hopefully this simple flip of the cube, and small increments of time set aside to work will actually make me do the project.

I got the white one. They only had black and red besides that, and I didn't want those colors. I would have gone for the green or purple, but they were out.

in the spirit of "you're more likely to follow through on your goal if you tell someone about it" um. For the month of October I am going to try to spend 15 minutes a day (no distractions) in my outline/zero-draft document for Fear Me. The hope is that by the end of the month I will have a fully detailed outline/ramble draft to help me with real drafting come November

Here are our three different liquid bubble timer options!

31 Days of Productivity Reading: Day Three

Before: I'm in more of a manga reading mood, but I don't think I'll be picking up ウツボラ today, I think I'll read volume five of 僕らの地球の歩き方 and let me explain my reasoning. Today is the start of my hell week, I have rehearsals for at least four hours each day every day this week (today's rehearsal is six hours long! God please don't let it run the whole time I'll die!) and the drive is the worst part, so I'll be leaving probably two to three hours before rehearsal actually starts and chilling at a cafe so that I don't have to sit in rush hour traffic. Basically, whether it's in a cafe or during breaks in rehearsal, I'll be reading in public. I am not reading ウツボラ in public. Sorry, but I don't trust it. ぼくちき on the other hand tends to be a little less... explicit.

After: I started my day with my Sundaily watch of the most recent ゆびさきと恋々 episode and it was just as cute as always! I’ve been wanting to go camping for a while now and seeing the gang go camping with language learning intent? I wish that were me. Take me along next time.

Managed to finish yesterday’s chapter before rehearsal! Honestly, I stopped at the perfect point last night because the second paragraph I read today was so heavy in scientific jargon that I fully gave up trying to understand it. Here we have no shame in accepting ambiguity when reading in our target languages.

Side note, I really do love No. 6. The hardest part about reading it is picking it up but the second hardest part about reading it is putting it down. I'm forcing myself to stop reading because I just can't afford to read until four am as much as I would love to. Knowing where the story is going just makes me want to read more!

As expected, I didn't get as much reading time in today as I would have liked but did fit some in here and there! I read twenty six pages today over (approximately) an hour and a half. That's a little over three minutes per page, which is nearly a whole minute faster than the past two days' times, but there was a conversation/confrontation between Nezumi and Inukashi which was both extremely engaging and didn't have a whole lot of unknown vocabulary for me.

Random ass post about adhd and art making

adhd is like yeah I’m struggling most of the time to do basic tasks and assignments that aren’t fun and don’t feel rewarding which is a highly embarrassing problem that I would probably benefit from taking medication to solve but at the SAME TIME when I wanted to make an 100 page comic I did it without even knowing that time was passing, and when i was suddenly stricken with the urge to make a doll out of clay with fabric and doll hair despite never doing it before I spent 10 hours doing so, also without knowing that time was passing; AND when I am drawing just for fun I will do it for hours… also without knowing that time is passing… idek if I can describe how fun it actually is to be in like, a state of hyperfocus…. It is actually like the best feeling in the world not to be dramatic. I hadn’t experienced it for so long after starting college. It only happened with one school assignment (comic) but it happens again now with my senior thesis now that I’m doing paintings. It’s almost an essential thing because when I’m so focused like that I HAVE to power through any frustrations, because I’m so obsessed with doing the task. I mean it’s not good to be so focused that u don’t notice being hungry or thirsty or tired, but as long as u make sure u have some snax and water nearby….

The only thing is I really need like, a curtain for my studio. Bc not to be corny but my painting process in particular is really physical, like painting time is also listening to music time which involves singing and dancing. I will spare my studio neighbors the singing. but the dancing cannot be helped, frankly, so I need a privacy curtain. IT MAKES THE ART BETTER!!! I kinda feel like making art in public spaces has messed me up a little, cuz I didn’t realize how much of a private process it really is for me (prob just cuz I’ve been in art classes since i was a kid). But truthfully I HAVE to be annoying while making my art or it won’t be the same. And I know that doing shit like dancing in ur studio is annoying as fuck and probably comes off as like fake or performative like ooouh I’m such an artist in my own world so much teehee…. Looool but that’s also why I have an easier time doing work at night. No one’s there!!! one exception. I can make art at home tho with family because we are all the same. amen.

sit.

people are generally very nice to me for no reason. like there are rude people but usually there’s additional factors for why they are being rude. but most people are just nice for no reason. they have shit to worry about, they have shit to do, but they’re friendly and polite. most of my life, most people have been nice to me. there are exceptions, of course, but… i don’t know. i expected worse, i guess. i was told it’d be a dog eat dog world, but it’s more of a “dog sees another dog and starts wagging its tail” world. and all the cruelty is the anomaly, i think. i was told people are bad by nature, but i don’t see it. i see a lot of misled people. i see a lot of scared people. i see SOME bad people. but that’s a shadowy face of a world that is so full of decency. so much more decency than i ever expected. it could be good. we could be so good.

Some clever soul managed to add a color timer to Shin Ultraman.
