The Link: I can’t swear these are the best blogs, they may have left out some (snicker, snicker), but I’ll admit these are darn good.
I’m not posting often enough for one thing. I can give several reasons.
I’m not getting enough guest bloggers. There are some really good ones out there, but they’re busy.
Well, I’ll try to do better. I try to do a lot of things.
Question O the Day:
How can you tell an explanation from an excuse?
Answer: If I say it, it’s an explanation. If you say it, –.
Quote O the Day:
You know that little voice that says, “Oh no, you can’t say that.”?
Well, I have one of those. It’s just that it runs about eight seconds behind.
Second Question O the Day:
Who out there would like to do a guest blog? How about you?

The books are available at amazon.com (soft cover or E book), or smashwords.com (only E books). The prices are as low as they are allowed to be.

counting you in. anything about ADHD would be good. one of our problems is difficulty prioritizing and making choices, and the more options there are, the harder.
looking forward to your contribution. can e mail it mkpdp@live.com

I’m not a blogger. Can’t help. :p
I like the post, though. It’s like a strategy, though: admit when you’re failing to provide what you want to provide and delegate. There’s an idea for a post. 😉
Cheers!

True, I’m not a blogger. And I still insinuated myself as an option: maybe because I like the idea of being a blogger and keep putting it off, so it’d be a nice chance for me. Maybe because I have ADHD and before we use a strategy to learn how to delegate, we get sidetracked by the next new shiny thing and overreach. It would definitely make a good post. :p
Also: while I have your attention, I’m dying to share something with you (unrelated). On my vacation, I went to ser an exhibit about the brain. The had a 1-on-1 game/competition of focus and relaxation. Two people, sitting in front of each other, had an EEG headband measuring focus and relaxation. The band sent signals to a magnet under the table that controlled the ball on top of the table between us: the more focus and relaxed a person was, the more the ball moved towards the other person. When you pushed the ball all the way over, you won. I was surprised to win very quickly, but the graphs of brain activity show what happened: my sister, a vanilla, had a very constant focus but below average. I had large spikes of focus on my graph, as well as very low values whenever I was bewildered (first because I wasn’t sure the game had started already and then because I noticed the ball was moving away from me very fast!). I could show you the fotos, if you want. 🙂 Or a make a post about it! 😀

ram- great! so now you have two embryonic posts.
and maybe both? the fotos and the post?
we have the gift of hyperfocus, and the curse of having little control over it
thanks

Sure thing! I’m pretty busy with work now (half the people on vacation, the other half on sick leave), but I’m off work on Monday evening, and I’ll mock a couple of posts up. Just tell me where to send it. 🙂

I’ve been giving it some thought and for many of your readers I think my area of “expertise” would probably be related to technology and the ways I’ve found to make it work for me. of particular interest I think would be to talk about how I’ve been able to utilize a few tech-specific tools (i.e. apps, smart home stuff, etc) to try and “externalize” thoughts and tasks more often instead of relying on my executive functioning. which, you know, doesn’t really function all that well.
thoughts?
