dimensions of executive function issues

(different reasons that i might not be able to focus, how to tell them apart, and [maybe] how to solve them. work in progress.)

low energy - feeling tired and sleepy - yawning a lot - working feels like it takes way too much energy; I’d rather just sleep - feels effortful even to think - seek low-mental-effort activities like tumblr solutions: stimulants (incl. caffeine), listening to energetic music, getting up and going for a 20+ minute walk

lack of self-monitoring - feel like i’m running on autopilot - can’t easily recall the last 3 things I did - get up and walk around a lot; get lost in daydreams and thoughts - difficulty verbalizing thoughts - can respond to prompts, but hard to generate new plans/thoughts - often goes along with low energy solutions: not getting up and going for a walk, sitting at my desk and listening to happy-energetic music while looking at the task. talking through the problem with someone else – it’ll be hard at first but having to converse will bring my self-monitoring system back online.

restlessness - feeling bored, wanting stimulation - feeling frustrated - changing sitting position often, feeling uncomfortable, fidgeting a lot - seek tasty food but almost all food is not tasty enough solutions: try working with loud energetic music and a fidget toy. if this doesn’t work, go outside and run around for a bit until you’re breathing hard, then try again. let yourself have sugar after the run if you still want it. compulsion for something else - pulled towards other, more interesting thoughts/activities - if i start working, i get sidetracked by the more interesting things without noticing - easy to enter flow state on other tasks, just not this one solutions: this one is hard. write down the more exciting thoughts and promise yourself you’ll come back to them? (you may not come back to them.)

task aversion - feeling stressed when i think about the task - or, thoughts slip off the task easily (ugh field) - feeling scared or self-hatey when i think about the task solutions: try working on the task for just two minutes. if you still hate it / feel scared after two minutes, you can stop. try talking through the task with someone else and figuring out small first actions. try listening to happy-calm-forward-motion music. query your brain about other small things that would make you feel happy to be at your desk (tea? wearing your jacket if it’s cold? moving to a conference room with better lighting?) and if they’re easy, do those, and take the time to appreciate them as you’re doing them. but mostly, talk through the task and get help from others.

You know when a fast angry song comes on that you know every word to and you’re in just the right mood that your eyes light up with the fire and angst of a thousand punk rockers and you just feel so alive

Shinsou Headcannons

He used to skate in middle school

He sneaks out after curfew, climbs onto the roof, pops a shit ton of glow sticks, blasts very niche music and draws

When he was in kindergarten he once brainwashed a kid to tie their shoelaces so the kid doesn't trip into his cubby anymore.

After that, the kid still didn't know how to tie his shoes so they kept coming back to Shinsou to get their shoes tied again. He makes his first friend.

seriously, he likes glow in the dark stuff

He puts glow in the dark food coloring into his Monsters at 3am

Someone please collect your disaster,,,

He used to be really into DnD, and piano. He tried to learn how to play, but he gave up.

Yes, he has cat slippers

He went through a phase in middle school where he wore lipstick. (He brainwashed anyone who mentioned it; you said the word lipstick and you forgot why you're sticking gum on the bathroom mirror)

He still sometimes does that on reflex, but he's getting better

He likes to cook when he has energy, but he mostly lives on insta-ramen and pure spite.

When he was 9, he became an orphan when a villain attacked his dad's work place, so that permanently set him up for hero work and fucked him up as a child.

He's been in the system, bouncing around foster homes

Could probably recite Edgar Allen Poe by heart at this point

He met his undying love when his foster parents got him a kitten for his birthday when he was 12.

He named her Bluebell

He's not used to being touched, so when he transfers into 1-A he's a little overwhelmed with all these new people touching him.

Iida notices and let's everyone know in the group chat that they need to slow down with him

They establish an unspoken rule that no more than 3 people are around Shinsou at a time

Midoriya gives him little touches and bright smiles and Shinsou doesn't,,,know how to feel at first.

But God, is he touch deprived, so he tries to be subtle (but isn't) and kinda hovers near Midoriya whenever he gets a chance, hoping he gets another pat/ soft warm touch on his shoulder for a few moments

Midoriya gives him a hug one time and Shinsou ends up crying

Aizawa is an ironic bastard and knows what Shinsou did at the sports festival to Ojiro, so constantly pairs them up in assignments until they are best friends

It's...not easy.

Ojiro kinda hates him at first (understandable, Shinsou does too), but Shinsou eventually apologizes for taking away the other person's choice instead of just asking him if they wanted to team up

Ojiro gives him a chance to explain himself (the other boy wanting get rid of the nightmares as well), and they have tea in Ojiro's dorm at lunch time

Which is completely against the rules but Shinsou doesn't need to know that

They end up as best friends

Oh yeah did I mention that he has a big gay crush on Midoriya ever since the green spunky boy threw him?? Cause he does

pleasefireme

Please fire me. I work at McDonald’s and last week I spent 15 minutes trying to explain to an old man they we do not sell hot dogs (McDogs as he claimed it) then he threatened to report me for “withholding products from him”!
