I love summer but I can't stand the heat. I'm really struggling with the temperature and it makes me slow and tired. Today was a crazy day at work and I'm looking forward to the holidays... Our school is not built for heat, it makes teaching unbearable. The students can't concentrate and me neither.

Hi! I asked a question about getting stuff done a little while ago, thanks so much for the answer, has definitely helped :) I have another question off of my last one. I really struggle to get things done quickly, for example, if I need to organise a cupboard or if there’s admin related stuff it takes me SO long even though I’m giving my all. I try to focus on getting one thing done at a time but each task creates a whole new set of tasks e.g I’ll realise I need storage boxes for the cupboard I’m organising so I’ll go buy some but they don’t fit, so then I take them back for a refund and spend time faffing around with measurements. And then I’ll remember all the other things I urgently need to refund and the tasks will just build and build. I’m left with no time to do my actual work. It’s so strange. People can just set aside a few hours and get so much done. My to-do list just to maintain life is never-ending so I can’t move on to the tasks that actually matter. I’m not sure if I’ve made sense. It’s hard for me describe but if you have any insights I would really appreciate them xxx

hey!! glad the advice was useful. I totally relate, I feel like everything takes me longer (work projects, but also any life admin task, especially if I don’t want to do it which is pretty much always the case). the only thing that seems to help me is the sense of satisfaction I get after doing a big life admin task, and being free from that stress. if you get that feeling too, maybe think of that before you do the thing and see if that helps with doing the thing. otherwise I would also try setting a timer, and give yourself the time you think it’ll take to do the task, and see if you can beat it. gameifying my life has helped a lot with my ADHD executive dysfunction

all the best. lmk how it goes, and feel free to add more clarity if I’ve got the wrong impression / it isn’t useful
