Two phases of Bigelowii.

Deuce Bigelowii.

Huh.

Bigelowii 2: Electric Boogaloo

Damn! :)

Brings up a ‘Do you want to download “sync” on “lithub.com” and “dsp-service.admatic.de”?’ dialog on my iPad.

Hard pass.

Don’t get hung up on “hung up”. Time goes by so slowly.

Don't.

The question that flew under the radar ;)

I’ll give this app a try later.

Subtle joke right there, if I may venture?

I think technological systems for managing ADHD are targeted mainly towards J-type personalities (Myers-Briggs).

As a hard P-type, I generally perceive Systems as detrimental to my well-being. A take which of course is riddled with both fallacies and exceptions (so don't hold me too harshly to it).

What's holding me back from checking out any sort of recommandation is the fear of commitment.

Everything eventually becomes one (or more) of the following:

- A joyous commitment - A meaningfull commitment - A stressfull commitment

Having a kitten is joyous. Having a 17 year old cat is all of the above.

Systems—good, usefull and fascinating as they may be—generally tend to fit in the 'stressfull' category. Especially those who encroach toward a hobby/hyper-fixation during the honeymoon period.

(The one system I still use on a day-to-day basis is a calendar. Because I have to. It's not joyous, but it's meaningfull.)

This seems insightful. I was going to comment elsewhere that some people seem to find structured systems really bothersome, whereas I personally just do not. But I am an INTJ, if anything. The idea of not taking a systems approach feels incredibly foreign, to the extent I can’t even really imagine where one would start.

How do you approach improving your personal outcomes related to ADHD without developing a system?

The short answer is that I try to maximize the strengths and minimize the struggles of ADHD.

Some practical examples:

- I have a job without any long-term projects (only long-term goals), so I never get bored from my tasks.

- I keep my evening schedules clear so I have room to be spontaneous in my hobbies after work. This is prabably made easier by being an introvert as I don't have the need to socialize often.

- I nurture an attitude toward my hobbies which is that the process in itself is always the goal. That it is okay to not finish a project as long as I keep learning new things.

- I depricate any stressfull commitment which is neither important or meaningfull long-term.

Also medication helps to overcome the menial hurdels.

Nice, let us know how that goes.

“Why waste time say lot word when few word do trick?”

This belongs in a sitcom, and it actually did until now.

I thought this was about Sand Hill Road funded startups welcoming University of Waterloo interns. Oh well.

I might also note that James Gosling is Canadian.

Does it talk?

He's probably pining for the fjords...

Only in Morse code.

No. It is pushing up the daisies, singing to the choir invisible.

As a newly-minted Canadian I've noticed that as well. I moved to Toronto from Istanbul five years ago and while I was away, Istanbul added 75 kilometers to its metro. That's longer than the entire Toronto Subway.

All this talk about being a world-class city, while nobody knows when Eglinton Crosstown, a "subway" line using streetcar ("LRT") tech that's been "in progress" since 2011, will open. Don't even get me started on SmartTrack :)

The term "World class city" is meaningless to people who aren't politicians or consultants pitching to the International Olympic Committee.

NYC and Chicago are dream cities for many, some Torontonians included. Does that mean that their transit stations aren't teeming with capybara-size rats? That they don't have problems with homelessness and poverty?

And I say this as someone who lives in the 'burbs and is upset that the LRT delays have continued as long as they have.
