My executive dysfunction resources
Hi folks, I’ve had a lifetime of anxiety/panic disorder, as well as the lovely gift of depression. Whether I have ADD/ADHD is irrelevant, I’ve done a pretty good job of nuking my executive function. So I’m finding different tools to manage it. (That actually work, if I remember to use them, which I don’t always...see executive dysfunction)
Anyhoo.
So here they are, in no particular order, sometimes with commentary
@adhdandcomics for some humor and tips.
https://captainawkward.com/ I adore captain awkward. Just for good reading and tips.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/ This subreddit has been so useful. Browse the top posts and the FAQ https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD/wiki/index
https://www.reddit.com/r/gtd/ I’ve found the GTD system to be useful.
Somewhere in my reading on this path of trying to actually get things finished, I read something about how if you have ADD etc, one organization method will work...for a while. And then it falls apart. This isn’t a failure, it’s part of the executive dysfunction stuff. I need new stimulus, frequently changing systems. So, don’t beat yourself up, just shift gears to a different system, For example : Kanban, Only Handle It Once (OHIO) Trello boards, mindmapping, Bullet journals, etc.
Podcasts (I’m using @spotify since it works everywhere)
https://open.spotify.com/show/0iZwe8qBFbZpGo4wM6V9mM?si=R5AtKG8wRkm2QNpgeD3-Pw Getting things done guy. These are short little bits of motivation.
https://open.spotify.com/show/21mSaFgOhfR7TT8MKxF41n?si=kGYITAMCRF-sbGX1RJ358w the official GTD podcast with David Allen
more stuff, look for Charles Duhigg, lots of stuff about how to make habits, so that you don’t have to think about some stuff. He introduced me to the concept of Activation energy. For example, if you want to work out first thing in the morning, put your gym bag either right at the foot of the bed, or right in front of the door. Also discusses starting with really small steps, like wash one dish every day.
onto the apps...
Evernote https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.evernote
I still think this is the best of the idea capturing, planning apps. It’s available on the website as well as on your app. I just need to remember to check the ‘next action’ every day. There is a reminder feature, so I try to remember to use that, and get it out of my conscious control.
aTimeLogger https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aloggers.atimeloggerapp I LOVE this. I use it for tracking my work time on projects, so I have an idea of how much to charge. It’s a great way of tracking where your day goes, as long as you remember to click the stuff. It really is a useful thing.
Coach.me https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Coach.me is really good for folks who respond well to external validation/accountability. (I’m agoraphobic/social anxiety disabled...strangers telling me to do stuff, well, it hasn’t worked as well as I thought it would) (but, I do like the idea of hiring a coach, but well...strangers...talking to me...wanting me to do...stuff...)
Engross (It’s kind of like the pomodoro technique//system) I like it and it’s currently my go to for to-do motivation https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.engross
These are the things I’m currently using.
Hope it helps

“”Welcome to Gravity Falls Asylum, we are here to help with your rehabilitation.
Please enjoy your stay and remember to relax.
If you ever need to talk, just feel free to ask any nearby employee and a doctor will schedule you in for a impromptu session.”“
This is a crossover to starfleetrambo‘s demonic AU, only this time, all the demons are humans and they are patients of the asylum
The idea for now is,
Psychiatrist Stanford Pines founded the asylum and have been working as head psychiatrist for 30 years
Dipper, his grand nephew, have been wanting to work here ever since he could read and is now being trained under Ford. He is also the new resident psychiatrist.
Stanley Pines is the manager of the asylum and security head. Pretty much knows all the patients but avoids them at most times.
Mabel is a wedding planner and cook extraordinaire that visits her brother and grunkles with delicious yet questionable food. When she is free, she spends time with the patients during recreational period, she gives arts and crafts ideas and materials (with the Grunkles’ permission , of course).
Fiddleford Mcgucket is the head physician.
While Soos is the technician and pretty much all around maintenance guy of the asylum. He sometimes serves in the cafeteria.
And Wendy is assistant security. She loves going out on the outdoor area with the patients and starting random sports competition, sometimes there is no referees and sometimes the sport has made-up rules.
** i dont know how asylums work, so there will be a lot of discrepancies and pretty much not like an asylum in this AU hahaha’’
---
Whew, im really excited about this AU as well as the Monster Protector AU. I like developing these ideas but I hope I can commit X)
The comic I’m making for Deus and Ford is still underway, but itll be a slow process since i only have sundays off
SORRY FOR THE LONG POST
Dialog testing for the modified Colequest
Based on this: http://demonsanddogweeds.tumblr.com/post/112854534694/more-about-the-damned-personal-quest
These are just ideas for what kind of dialog would be in that quest. Especially with the choice scene. Suggestions are more than welcome. I'm going by the headcanon that Cole came to the Spire at age 12 and died 'round that age. Cole the Spirit then grew up from there.
(At the Spire Pit, The Inquisitor and Cole (+any other party members brought with them) travel through the hallways. It is very dark, wet textured and the soundscape is similar to Stormy Coast caves)
Cole: It's always this dark, but it wasn't this lonely. No more mages seeking comfort in secret, no more templars on patrol. Like walking through a dead body of someone you knew. They didn't see me, but I saw -them-. I wish they were still here...
(The library, just few books scattered about. Strangely,despite being rundown, the place looks like someone once lived here. Under one table, there are blankets that are torn. One can see few books that have been used for target practise and scattered dirty plates in a corner) Cole: ...I slept here, when I though I had to. Home when I had no home, somewhere safe I could be in. Inquisitor: Cole..how long were you in here? All of this looks old. Cole: A long time, so long I forgot the world outside and the Fade. Ages in the darkness, watching life go past as a ghost. Changing..yet nothing changed.
(The cell, Cole stops in front of it and gives out a screech) Cole: It's here! He died here! Cold and dark, guts gripping with hunger, screaming for someone to help. But no one came for him! Inquisitor: 'he'? Who are you speaking of? Cole: the real Cole! I heard his cries, I came through to help him! ...But, I couldn't. So I became him.. Inquisitor: That's why you are called Cole? There was a real one once? Cole: (saddened) yes, a captured apostate..forgotten by the templars to die.
(Cut scene, Inquisitor and Cole have found a spot in the courtyard where the real Cole is buried in. Cole crouches, touching the dirt a bit) Cole: here he lies, no stone with his name to mark it (sigh) No one left to remember him, the forgotten boy. Inquisitor: Cole... Cole: I tried to remember, but I forgot him too! The demon in Adamant made me remember, but then... I had become the Ghost of the Spire, all ready. A demon..
-Choices: -[Investigate] --Tell me of the original cole. -You are still him - You are you
-Tell me of the original Cole. Inquisitor: can you tell me something you remember of him? Cole: yes, son of a farmer and woman from the wilds. Always hungry, the fields were not enough to feed them. He loved his sister, he called her..(warm chuckle) Bunny. They were poor, but.. they had each other. (Tone darkens) Until he cast a spell, his father saw it Makers displeasure. Blamed it on his mother, because of her wild blood. She told the real Cole hide with Bunny, in the dark cupboard. Then his father killed her, to him it was -her- fault. The real Cole, he was afraid! He held his sister too strongly and..she couldn't breathe (wincing). When his father found him, he had his mother's dagger. Somehow, he overpowered his father, killing him. Then the templars took him, and forgot him in the dungeon. He died so young, barely thirteen summers old..
-You are still him Inquisitor: Cole, he isn't forgotten. As long as you are here, the real Cole lives. Cole: but, I'm a shade, a mirror image. Not really real, just a reflection of him. Inquisitor: You have carried his memories and his face all these years, you took over where he left. I think he'd have been happy to know you did that Cole: ..Should I try to be him, again? Inquisitor: you are him, you don't need to try, Cole. Cole: (Stands up, nodding. He is smiling weakly) Yes, that is true. He is me, I became him and I can still be him. Thank you..for making me see that.
-You are you Inquisitor: Cole, you shouldn't cling to the past. The real Cole is dead, you can't bring him back. Cole: (sigh) Yes, I know. I wear his face, but only his face. I don't know what he though, or who he was. Just what he felt..I'm not him. I'm not real Inquisitor: No. You are real, the real Cole died a young child. But you are not a child anymore, are you? You have become a young man, one of the Inner Circle of the Inquisition. Cole: I...I guess? They remember me, they know me and not him. Like Rhys and Evangeline, they were -my- friends, not -his-. Inquisitor: yes, you have become your own person. Regardless whether you are a spirit or not, you are real to us. Cole: (Stands up, looking at the ground) I couldn't be him, but I can be...me. Yes, I want to be me.
{{ -Tie me, Bite me-;; -Heart and Soul-;; -Good Morning-;; -Keep it down!-;; }} If you're doing these~~ uvu
{{*after a minute of panic* Found it! I got it! Yeah, okay, now I know what you’re talking about. Heheh. Dirty anon. ;)}}
-Tie Me, Bite Me: Name a kink.
Eh, probably.. fuck, I haven’t thought a lot about my Michael in bedroom scenarios. He’d really like it if people touched his chest. Don’t really think that’s a kink, but he would like that. Soft things, y’know, like just stroking his ribs and holding his sides as you stroke your thumbs over his stomach. He’d like hard stuff sometimes too though, when he’s feeling sinful. Clawing at his pecs, holding him down by his throat and putting too much pressure on his stomach. Something like that.
Lucifer would.. err.. again, not something I’ve thought much about, but Lucifer would like praise. He would be putty in your hands if you told him how good he was, how perfect he still looks, what a beautiful mind he has, his silver tongue so talented, that sort of thing. It would be a double-edged sword with him though, if you could manage to keep his mind off the past through all this, it would be great, but give him a moment to hear what you’re saying and bring it back around to when Michael cast him out, he would shut down. But yeah, praise. Not ass-kissing though, he knows that whole thing started with the black mass, but fucking damnit it was a fucking joke!*
-Heart and Soul: Is love important to you when you have sex?
Another toughy. Michael, in essence, is a virgin, but he’s not opposed to meaningless sex. I think he would consider something like a one-night-stand a form of body worship and purifying the heart and soul of its need to be touched and appreciated. If he were in a vessel a long time, he would recognize the need for human contact, or some form of sexual release, but he would never masturbate, I know that. Michael would find someone to just touch, and feel, and I’m sure he wouldn’t think of orgasms or anything as lewd as that while essentially having intercourse with another person, he would focus on the feel of their body, learning how to touch another person and teaching them how to touch him in return. Like a full body massage more than sex really. But no, love isn’t a key factor for him.
Lucifer would very much think that love is important. He understands lust and sexual tension well enough, but he would not go out for some meaningless rutting no matter how pent up he was. Lucifer would be the type to masturbate if he knew there wasn’t someone who loved him that he could go to. If he thinks it’s a ploy, or meaningless, he won’t even kiss you in a way that would remotely suggest his interest. Hate sex is something he’s liable to do, but Lucifer needs to love someone before he can hate them. Michael can simply hate people without discrimination, but that’s another post for another time.
-Good Morning: Do you partake in morning sex?
Yes. Doesn’t matter what time it is.
No. Lucifer would sooner rip your balls off than have morning sex. The morning is for waking up slowly and cleaning and preparing oneself for the day, not rutting in a grimy bed that needs to be changed anyways. No, Lucifer would not do morning sex at all. It’s a bad sign if he does.
-Keep It Down!: Are you loud when you make love?
Michael is as silent as he can be with everything but sex, so yes. As trained as he is to never make any sort of noise when being harmed, pleasurable sensation would very quickly loosen his tongue. He’s quick to praise when someone is good to him, and in sex, that would be the case. He would never tell anyone no, however, he thinks that if someone can take pleasure from his body even if it hurts him, he’s going to give it. If Michael grows silent during sex, that’s when he’s not enjoying it.
Lucifer is not loud in bed. Lucifer, he… well, he’s made so much noise already, his voice is tattered and torn and he can’t even sing anymore, so why would he attempt to make noise in bed? No, Lucifer would show his feelings in his breathing. His breath will quicken, slow down, he’ll gasp and flounder and sigh, but he won’t make any noises unless speaking.
*I can easily explain the ass-kissing reference in another post if anyone wants to hear it.*
I found this little gem, back when editing that weird plot with the Lutari thingy? I was like....I dunno...thirteen?
This was basically like making an abridged series for Neopets.
