I keep having such a horrible horrible focus problem. But at then I’m also horrible bored. I wish I could focus enough to do something so I wouldn’t be bored. Then the things I actually need to get done are also so much more a chore because my focus is so horrible.

dear Vivotica, I suggest gazing out the window or even better take a walk? I do my best thinking when I’m walking and the outdoors is really refreshing I think. I like to buy flowers for inspiration and keep them in the living room for gazing. I gaze a lot. just focus on a piece of art or music maybe? good luck. I don’t do much but that’s just head games I play to feel better. If you focus on anything, focus on hope and where that is for you.

Aww @jukebox that was beautiful! <3 you make me feel so much better! I do just gaze or zone out a lot, but It isn’t great for trying to be productive. Zoning out while doing dishes is a good thing for me though. Makes me feel calm and productive 
They also have been adjusting now I think on the right medication work up, it helps and I’m coming around

well thank you ! Just trying to help.
Tend to agree. Most of the chores tend to be mundane if you don’t break it up with something you enjoy. The word work becomes a four letter word in our mind. My CBT therapist gave me this long list for that reason is a pdf http://www.cci.health.wa.gov.au/docs/Fun%20Activities%20Catalogue.pdf
Haha,my concentration and focus for most things is horrible,I have recently started playing football,I find that I can concentrade and focus well on the game,it’s fun and enjoyable being able to concentrade/focus and play football at the same time,I think it’s because I am interested and my love for football made me able to
I also able to concentrade on my daily workout and also when playing games…I workout for 2 hrs for 5 days a week and play games an hour a day daily,both Is my routine and hobby too
That’s a helpful list

It’s easier when there is two. Today, we cleaned the gutters on top the roof in record time, went to thethe Devil Walmart superstore (big mistake) and vaccume most of the house.
On a good day I can start on most everything on the to do list, but get bogged down after the second thing on the list.
Solo, I’m more like the Tasmainian Devil (cartoon character) but I don’t spit as much.
Are they daily household chores?
Maybe, when you start doing the chore just set an alarm for some interval so that it could remind you that you need to finish the work and switch off that alarm…
Keep the intervals short so you could realise it sooner.
Other way is a little different. My mother does this for not forgetting things to be done. She wears a long traditional scarf so what she does she knots at a corner of it. That reminds her that she has something important to do\complete.
Just anything in general @ p2r
And lol I get that with Tasmainian Devil @Csummers
I’m trying to get this disaster cleaned. How do I fall so easy behind on chores. Laundry and dishes over flowing. Definitely need to work harder but the crashes suck.
i suggest writing down some activities you like to do . then try them. get a few different ones. I find if i do the same thing too much i get bored and unmotivated. for example I learn the guitar and the piano . i just alternate when I feel like it. and when I dont feel like learning music I will go for a bike ride.
switch it up. variety.
Ironically shortly after I posted the washer flooded the bathroom. Have a fan faced on the carpet.
Would like to transfer all my text messages to this book of blank pages I made. Taking forever and my phone will Probley not make it another month.
I received this text from my brother:
The Mandaeans who live in the marshes of Iraq have a legend of a demon Dinanukht who is half man and half book and sits by the waters between worlds and reads himself.
A compilation of text messages could turn into a book. I’m working on that with some e mails. Not publishing. I have several books I want to put together as a legacy to my family - whichever of them might want them.

These are just for keep sake. I could take a screen shot of all of them and load them on the sky drive but I keep losing track. I sincerely hope nobody in my family reads these cause I said things behind there back. This is between me and a friend over the last year. I would hate to lose them. Still have so much to go.
Yeah. That’s good. Sometimes I go back + read mine as sort of a recent history.

Maybe I’m being a tad obsessive IDK
I don’t guess so. I’d like to save the history farther back, but it’s easier to hit ‘erase all.’
I don’t guess so lol. I’ve never heard that before. I have to turn in my phone well its still under warranty so trying to tie up lose ends.
I made that up because it seemed to say what I wanted. Where are you? It’s 1AM where I am.
