I've got a mental list in my head of like 4 things I need to do. 2 are time-sensitive. 2 are things that would make me feel better to do. 2 would improve things.
I'm scrolling on Lemmy. And adding things to my mental to do list.
The lighter side of ADHD

Hard to say if you have 4 or 6 tasks. The 2 time sensitive could easily apply to the other categories keeping it at 4 tasks but it is entirely possible you found 2 more and its 6.
By now I'm sure you've found more anyway :)
Before. Still gonna sit here and scroll on lemmy first though. Totally gonna walk soon right after I check my Masto. Oh damn let me take care of this task I forgot about before I go. Ok well that's done I guess it's time to go wa- damn that late? Ok well I guess it's time to go shower.
I know we always think about walking as some kind of positive metal health thing but whenever I’ve actually gotten out there for a walk I’ve found it boring unless I’m actually going somewhere in particular. If I’m just wandering I feel like I constantly have to think about where I’m going.
Listen to a podcast. Behind the Bastards is the best choice because I guarantee you can find a person in the backlog that you find fascinating.
Atonal screaming ensues
Hardcore History is a solid choice as well, unless he's driving you up a wall both-siding the fucking Imperial Japanese Army
I'll treat myself to some takeout tonight, what should I get? I dunno, let's think about it until everything is closed.
Me with my ahdh friend: let's order takeout and meet there!
Result: we each went to a different location, and it turned out we ordered from yet a third location on the other side of town! Luckily, they agreed to stay open until we arrived to pick it up.
This is me when I'm trying to figure out what to watch. If it's a particularly strugglesome day, I can't get past deciding which app to load on my Roku to start searching for something to watch.
I feel fortunate that this isn't a problem for me (yet.) 🏴☠ streaming website and Youtube is how I watch things these days. Now, finding something that aligns with my interest(s) that moment, day, or week... That's a whole other story.
Okay I call BS, exercise before shower is a no brainer, now which type of exercise or whether to even go, that’s the challenge.
I’m hot and stinky and sticky and I hate living. I need to take a shower!
I’m planning on exercising today, I can’t take a shower until I do that
When should I exercise? I have things to do for work. After I do those things, then!
oh it’s close to lunch time. I’m going to eat.
the dishwasher isn’t unloaded. I’ll do that.
the kitchen rag needs to go to the laundry
oh I should get my clothes into the washing machine
And that’s how I’m cleaning the toilets instead of taking a shower and it’s 6pm and I haven’t worked or worked out or showered and fuuuuuuu
