I prefer taking chronological notes on paper but it's not always practical for urls, voluminous stack traces, screenshots, etc. so I also keep a lot in digital form. This is a recipe for losing hard-won information.
One of the funner ideas I've had lately was a way to "link" entries in the two systems. A MacOS shortcut that generates a short hash (`xxd -l 4 -p /dev/urandom`) and inserts it into the clipboard. Paste that into the digital notes, and hand-write it in the notebook.

Hacked eating healthy after an accomodation in the form of a little freezer for my lunches.
It freed my ADHD to do more asyncronous cooking. And the autistic me loves organising it just like Sara Hart:

Wait I forgot the keys. But I have them. Ah, yeah, I had put them in the box next to the door.
That “take me” box I check before leaving the house
Putting on white jeans and going to the library as an #ADHDhack. Let’s see if that works.
Adhd really wants to continue cleaning and disassembling furniture at the dirty flat, but I need to study first.
Happy day of buying 4 toothbrushes for the rest of the year.
Do you have any specific tasks for today that are #ADHDhacks ?
At least I know now, this annoyance comes from the sudden halt of flow. So the way around it, is a flowing music/podcast while coming back for the missed item.
Of course I forgot to wrap one of the presents this morning.
Will find a slot in the near future when the child is not at home. That’s why I try give myself buffer for mistakes.
Spilled milk. No surprise. If I had to make a big deal every time I spill liquid, I would have anxiety and depression.
So instead, I mop and sing.

Speaking of birthdays, I make cards for my close family members bc I have lots of card stock/stamps leftover from the stamping craze and I can (usually) make something nicer than the picked-over cards at the drug store. Made one for my dad today, and went ahead and made my mom’s card too. It’s very time-consuming. Very tempted to make them all around Xmas and just mail everyone their card on Jan.1st so I don’t have to stress about it every couple of months.
This is one from my overstimulation playlist that always seems to center me. Isabel Beyrakdarian is positively angelic.
