The classic "Hal replacing a light bulb" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fnfeuoh4s8 )
But not remembering what was the original intention.
I love that he has his jacket on the entire time. He comes home and doesn't even have a chance to take it off lol
Iβm saving this for the next time someone tells me to βjust do the thing.β

I LOVE this clip!
Yep. The nice thing about getting on meds (atomoxetine in my case) is that at least for tasks I really want to get done, I'm now able to ignore those interruptions and keep going.
I've never tried meds, I consider it every now and then but I function alright without them, despite it being a struggle
This is exactly how I describe being on atomoxetine to my friends and family. It's not a magic moment of clarity, it just takes the edge off of my need to dive down every rabbit hole I see. I can still do that of course (and sometimes it still happens when I should be doing something else) but on the whole it's easier to pull myself out of the distraction spiral before it becomes too bad.
I wanted to fetch a photo of my ID from immich, saw a random screenshot of Reddit from 3 years ago where I noticed a user in the screenshot who is now here and a friend, and ended up searching through her reddit profile for that comment.
Ofc I had forgotten my ID at step 1.
Hey I also have a photo of my ID on Immich, there can't be many of us!
