Hey, a bit late but Movies are a bit easier to finish for me, books it depends on the book itself!

I get what you mean by the plot revealed, most of the time I get ahead using clues of the story and spoil myself

I really try to enjoy games slowly, and for some time it works but when novelty wears off, is hard for me to start playing the game again!

Can you suggest some game that hit that sweetspot?

Hey, feel like that a lot.

Just like most of the people here I try to accept that I’m this way, and even if I don’t want, I will not do things and feel bad. I try just to apologize and get the thing done if possible. Not much to do besides that.

Also when I’m on a low mood moment these feelings of guilt appear to be enormous, but eventually you get yourself up an they are manageable. Being burn down by that is pretty common for me, so I wish you some rest!

Hey, thanks to comment here! Its been a while from this post and I think a lot has improved since.

Self acceptance has been key and as you said Im trying to be aware that from time to time this approach could not work anymore.

Thanks again!

I’m reading these responses again and let me tell you that writing tthings down has helped me a ton!

Also, that computer analogy was really nice. Thanks to take time and help me (and anyone that arrives to this post!)

Damn, I don’t know where to start this response.

-First, I didn’t know that “the real devil” was so good giving advice. Where I live we have a saying that translates like “More knows the devil by old than by being the devil”, so your experiences and conclusions are appreciated.

-I haven’t been medicated yet, so I will have your advice in mind regarding to that. Also I don’t really know if Adderall is a thing where I live.

-Categorizing things by mood needed is something that I haven’t heard of, but is so clear now. All my life I have ridded waves of motivation, but I have never planned to do it in advance.

-I’m already on therapy so that’s like my “sprint review” to check if an habit is sticking, for me agile has been a good framework to try habits and new approaches.

-As a last point, I’m a developer but as you, I guess that I’m an artist, a writer and whatever I’m feeling like in the moment.

I really appreciate you took time to write this comment, thanks!

EDIT: formatting.

I understand what you mean by meetings blocking you to start your progress. I work the best when I have 1 meeting and can solve doubts by just chatting. It seems that yesterday I was facing an issue that no one really understood and I wasn’t an exception, so perhaps that was the reason why I was overwhelmed and couldn’t code anything.

Thanks for reaching to my SOS post!

Thanks for your advice! I kind of recognize when I’m on the mood, just it isn’t enough sometimes.

I will check that video, thanks!

I have some memory issues, but are less significant than motivation and concentration. The psychiatrist that diagnosed me seems to believe that my memory issues are related to concentration. But as I said on other comment, I will try it anyways and if it helps i would be nice!

Thanks for taking a moment and write something!

Wow can relate to that comic!

I understand what you mean by “what battles are worth fighting”, is just that this fight is one I can’t ignore. Days like today feels like being crushed. I’m working a lot on self acceptance lately and I really feel better.

Thanks for taking time and write a response.

Thanks for your time writing here! I noticed that sometimes that helps. I will start doing it now.

I apologize and that wasn’t my intention to make it sound that way. It just work most of the time, when it doesn’t I try to check if the person is using it as an excuse if they do, probably is not a good idea to continue thta relationship. If no I apologize again, but is not too much you could do about.

Perhaps we are being mean tho, don’t underestimate how mean one could be by being ignorant and inpulsive at the same time. Hahaha 'nt
