ADHD memes

"Please don't call, send a text." Making a phone call to tell me a thing means I'm more likely to forget it. Having a text say the same thing means having something to refer back to. Add on audio processing issues, where I may mishear what you say, and chances of me remembering drop even more.

Don't even get me started on people who call to say one thing, but then make a whole conversation. The important information is going to get washed over by waves of irrelevant chatter. It has a high chance of fading away, like a foot print on beach sand.

The ~~amount~~ number of times I've told people at work, "Just email or text it to me or else I'm gonna forget," is too damn high.

My ears are connected to /dev/null.

i got bad diction, thick accent and mild dyslexia and adhd, you don't want to hear me explain you stuff

"Here is 300 pieces of information for your working memory, only 6 of which are actually relevant to what you need."

vs

"Here is a list that you can filter/sort/reference/etc at your convenience"

And the people I work with still can't understand why so many of us hate meetings.

unless they do NATO, i can barely remember a phone number or spelling given verbally.

I’m kind of a split and it depends on the information. Obviously it needs to be good info either way, but if it’s properly presented then I think I favor written.

Written for sure. I need a written order before picking up takeout, or else someone's getting the wrong side or condiment.
