REST is NOT a reward.
It’s a neurobiological imperative that doesn’t need to be earned.
The PARADOX: resting is painful when NOT resting is a way to avoid pain.
Start small and expand your window of tolerance…30 seconds, then a minute, etc.
NO rest is too little.

Great new iOS 16 feature: built-in unit conversion everywhere, including Messages. This supports temperatures, currencies, and more.
Finally, I don't have to explain to my American friends what Celsius temps mean anymore 🇪🇺

Yeah. It's like when people tell me that thinking about time travel is difficult and I'm like "...You just, change your frame of reference? It's literally just what I do to find my keys?"

Unsolicited career advice: pursue a job u love, even if it doesnt give u much recognition. Find work in the space industry. Meet friendly folks. Hop on a spaceship and befriend the engineer. Kill them w/ ur bare hands while u're both in the cafeteria and blame it on someone else.

After a lifetime of feeling overextended, I’m purposefully under-extending myself right now.
I’m saying no to things I “could” do.
I’m letting myself rest longer than I “need” to.
I’m adding new people to my life *slowly.*
It feels weird. And…healthy.

I really need neurotypical people to understand that one interruption, even if it's 'only' a 30 second interruption, is enough to derail the entire day of a person with ADHD if you do it when we've finally managed to get focused on a task.
