Digital Friction Is Draining You (Not a Lack of Discipline)

Digital friction, the minor obstacles we encounter online, can lead to feelings of fatigue and overwhelm, particularly for neurodivergent individuals. These challenges complicate productivity, often dismissed as laziness. Recognizing digital friction empowers us to address it, simplifying our digital lives through community support and practical strategies, like reducing browser tabs and managing notifications.

"Buồn ngủ" hay chỉ đang quá tải?
Cảm giác mệt mỏi buổi chiều có thể không phải do thiếu ngủ – mà là **quá tải thông tin**: email, tin nhắn, hội họp, quyết định liên tục. Bộ não báo hiệu quá tải bằng cách giảm tập trung & động lực, khiến ta tưởng mệt thực sự. Caffeine không giúp – chỉ làm tăng lo âu. Thay vào đó: giảm thông báo, ghi ra giấy, uống nước, vận động nhẹ, ăn đúng lúc.
Tired ≠ cần ngủ. Có thể là cần **giảm input, tăng cân bằng**.

This Redditor seems to be asking about #overwhelm in #productivity and #prioritization.
This might be a problem similar to the one I had.

Most task apps assume your brain is already organized. Mine isn’t. I wrote about why I had to build a different kind of task manager and what it means for people who struggle with overwhelm.

I Don’t Have My Shit Together

I don’t have my shit together. I used to think I did. I used to think I had it figured out — maybe not perfectly, but enough to function, enough to give off the impression that I was balanced and grounded. I even still like to think that maybe, to some small extent, I might have it somewhat together. But if I’m being completely honest with myself, I’d be kidding myself to say I have it completely together. I don’t. Not even close. I think a part of me has always wanted to believe […]

Living Through My “Worst Era”

I hate that phrase — worst era. It’s kind of cringe, and I’m not even a fan of Taylor Swift, but honestly, it fits. The last few years have felt exactly like that — a personal “worst era.” Not because everything was terrible all the time, but because the weight of it all, the accumulation of losses, disappointments, and exhaustion, has been relentless. It’s like living in a storm that doesn’t let up, and somehow, you have to keep walking through it. For me, the cracks started […]

Because today I had wild expectations that I would write 1000 words, draft a strategic plan, go to the gym, do all the admin, and publish a story on #Medium …all the day after moving house.

#writing #overwhelm #socialmedia #connection

Too many feelings. Sad to be always way too ill to protest, excited for everyone else doing such a great job and staying safe, disgusted and resigned to all the pain and dreariness of every bodily system I have throwing random errors, grateful for the love and shelter I'm so lucky to have, fear for the future, and a bittersweet realization that I am unlikely to be around for much of it. #TooManyFeelings #overwhelm #FallingApart #emotion #justchatting

Babbling brain…

Some days, I feel withdrawn from everything. I struggle to write even the simplest toots, or bits for my blog. Writing replies to others is even more challenging, even when I always enjoy communicating with them. For those reading this, don't feel sorry, you didn't make me reply when I felt this way, I made me reply, because I need to keep a connection, especially on days where I struggle with it... Because if I would stop writing, I would withdraw even more. And it would only get harder and more difficult. Plus, I would start feeling guilty for not getting back to my friends, and they may start to worry about me, and that would make me even more bad....... 😔 But... Other days, my brain seems to be rambling on in a non-stop way with a tremendous speed! And it will overwhelm me, I will try to turn it down a notch, as I know this can only end with me being too exhausted to even try to relax... But, when my brain is "on fire" like that, however much I try, I keep ending up with long textx/replies/blog posts started... And it can be good, at times, to have a way with words. But, as said, at the end of the day, I feel like I've used all the words for the next few days... […]
