happy neil banging out the tunes day!

Happy Neil Day! Please enjoy the very rare alternate Neil images!

in celebration of april 13, i present all four known photos of neil, who banged out the tunes 19 years ago today

hit it, Neil!

I'm sick of paying for microsoft 365 and I'm gonna boycott them anyway, but just switching to google docs sounds like a horrible idea. Are there any other alternatives people have used? Ideally I'd get another OneNote, because that's super useful for plots and OC stuff, but it seems to be a singular kind of program. Appreciated!

Cryptpad is a zero knowledge, open source office suite that you can use in your browser. Simplenote is a very, very simple browser-based note taking tool (there are mobile and desktop apps for it too).

hey sexy. I can tell by the frequency of your blog updates that you are once again avoiding it all

I'm falling behind on stuff at work so i started making a tasklist of just the stuff i can remember without digging into my tickets or email or putting the big shiny thing that I actually WANT to do on the list and so far we are at

29 things.

Hm. Hmmmmm. Don't like that.

okay with four marked off the list grew to 34 because i collected the to-dos from the three small notebooks on my desk in the big college-ruled notebook for bad times.

Still have not addressed ticket queue or email but email is once again over 100 so email under 75 should be one of the things that goes on my list.

This is another form of rubber ducking/troubleshooting my ADHD. I've had a lot of trouble with focus and initiation recently, likely because I've got so much going on that i feel pulled in ten directions and can't prioritize and am just kind of flailing.

Often when i make a to-do list it is not actually a to-do list, it is just collecting all of my projects and tasks in one place so that i can SEE them rather than being a list of things that I expect myself to get done in any kind of timely manner.

As I'm compiling the list, I can check off things that can be accomplished quickly, and then once the list is complete I can start breaking it down into things that are high priority, things that are low priority but are easy, and things that are actually many steps that i need to define before I can work on them because the thing is too big for it to really feel like something that needs to be done.

To-do lists are TERRIBLE for me as a list of things that I'm going to finish, but are wonderful as a way to stop panicking about too much stuff and move forward on at least a couple of things.

(bonus - it you put your pile of tasks in a list before you work on them you can see if there are handy groups that you can lump together - one of these tasks required collecting client email addresses, another required logging in to my old email address, another required contacting clients from my old email address - these things overlap and if i do them at the same time or while all the same windows are open I can save myself the effort of collecting all those things together in the future)

Anyway, I'm avoiding. Gonna go look at my tickets.

Yaaaaaaay tickets weren't all that bad, two more items crossed off and 39 things on the list.

Now I'm not allowed to leave my email inbox until I've got fewer than 100 emails in my inbox. I feel like the email inbox is going to generate many tasks.

This is all going to get written up and will go in the ADHD section of my site but the fun part of following me on tumblr is that you are subscribed to the alpha feed of my nonsense.

Okay, so, my email inbox is down to 34 messages. I have six tickets in an update status that needs action early tomorrow. I have 7 completed tasks and 46 tasks left to do. Some of the remaining tasks are multi stage and are not really tasks, but projects.

Currently the 46 tasks are written in two columns on a single sheet of college-ruled notebook paper. This is a nice list to look at but it's big and disorganized. Now I pull my list out of the big college-ruled notebook so I can reference it. I am going to start with four BIG categories on the next sheet:

Sorting time! I love sorting time!

Alright, five more got crossed off and there were a couple duplicates so I have 39 tickets in 5 categories. "Easy" is the biggest by far, with 17 tasks, I had to add "Communication/Research" for stuff that doesn't require collaboration or intense research, just answering a simple question. Only 4 things are in "Avoidant" and, as usual, I have more projects than I realized.

FUCK, I'm exhausted. I was working on a project until 4am and had to be in a meeting at 8am.

I want my list to end up as something manageable for tomorrow with a roadmap for Friday.

I'm crashing too hard to sort any more; many of these things have good overlap and can be worked on together, many of these things need to be done before 11am so nobody will harass me about them.

I'm going to highlight the stuff that can be grouped in yellow and the stuff that needs to be done early in pink, and tomorrow i can work on making it a more cohesive list but this will at least let me know what to start with tomorrow morning.

Seven items in pink, seven items in yellow, if nothing else my morning is kind of planned. I'm going to go pass out for ten hours now.

We're back! Many hours of sleep and an utterly chaotic two days of work that did nothing to clean up my pile and have only added to it have occurred! It is time to continue making progress (and I say 'nothing to clean up my pile' but there has been work done, there have been items crossed off)

Okay, so, last place I left off was with some stuff grouped by priority and task type, and broad categories created.

I'm going to start by going through the list and marking off stuff that is currently done AND finishing any task that will take under ten minutes.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FUCKING FINALLY!!!!!!!

FUCK! FUCK!

One of my "easy five minute tasks" was to test an account that i've been unable to access but i have found a number that ends with the number that is suggested in the MFA but we didn't have that number connected to the user as far as I was aware but we did! I FOUND THE FUCKING CORRECT MFA NUMBER FOR AN ACCOUNT WE'VE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCESS SINCE FUCKING SEPTEMBER AND NOW IT'S SAVED IN OUR DOCUMENTATION TOOL WITH THE PROPER TOTP TOKEN AND A FRESH PASSWORD FUCK!

Anyway, list, yes, good, okay.

I left off the other day with 17 "easy" tasks and I've now crossed off 15 and I have 5 easy tasks left.

Communication/Research went from 3 to 1, Collaboration went from a count of six down to five then back up to nine, Avoidant was at 4 and stayed at 4 (surprising no one), and Project went from 9 to 11. So:

So the total list is down from 39 to 30

it is time for this shit to go to a new piece of paper.

My list is now on a fresh piece of paper, neatly organized in sections. My "collaboration" tasks have the names of people I need to collaborate with next to the tasks, I've got symbols marking the tasks in different categories that have some overlap (one avoidant and two project tasks have stars, two project tasks have triangles, one easy one project and one research task have circles) so that when I'm working this out as a plan I can put stuff together (open the appropriate spreadsheets, log into the appropriate websites, etc.)

Now that I've been looking at and working on the list for days - and now that I've been marking off small tasks and things I've finished - I can see everything that needs to get done and I can start prioritizing.

My first priority was just "shove shit off my plate" - that's why I wrote the list and tackled as much easy stuff as I could as quickly as possible. Now I have less stuff on my plate and I can see what's important and what level of effort/planning is involved with each task.

I suppose it's important to note that the first way I sorted the list was by effort - there's stuff that's easy and I can do with minimal effort, there's stuff that requires asking people questions but isn't truly difficult, there's stuff that requires sustained effort and work, and there's stuff that my brain has decided is toxic sludge (for no real reason; brain just bad. Actually, I just looked at the avoidant list and realized that every single item is something I feel guilty about because it's already late; none of it is really difficult but since people are waiting I feel bad that I haven't finished this stuff and so I don't want to look at it because it makes me feel like an asshole. But avoiding it doesn't make me feel like less of an asshole and now I know WHY it has transformed into toxic sludge when these things are relatively easy tasks - also, brains are bad, when I've missed a deadline my brain goes 'it's already late so you already failed, no reason to rush now' which is MALADAPTIVE AND BAD and like, if I want to get off on a rant is a holdover from the US school system's punitive approach to homework - almost NOTHING in real life as an adult stops being relevant because you missed a deadline, and you still should complete things when you've missed deadlines but 'already failed, doesn't matter, looking at it is just going to make me hate myself and isn't going to get me a better grade or improve my situation' is something that got drummed into my head for more than a decade and is hard to work around; real life isn't homework you need to stop being an asshole and sent the stupid email even if it's late.)

ANYWAY, that aside, I can now sort tasks by priority. The metrics that I use to prioritize stuff are:

Okay, so far this has all been happening in the Big Notebook of Problems, an 8.5x11" college-ruled multi-subject notebook. Once my remaining tasks are prioritized, they're going to get sorted into different places; I keep two notebooks on my desk at all times - one is a structured, pre-printed "plan of attack" notebook that I write up a sheet for each week, and one is a simple A5 spiral notebook that I use as a running tasklist to jot down things that people ask me for or phone numbers or brief meeting agendas.

Stuff that is high priority but relatively simple and won't require a long period of work will get put on the plan of attack sheet. Stuff that is lower priority and lower effort will go into the spiral notebook. Stuff of varying priorities but that will require a lot of steps - projects - will get moved to a short list on a quarter-folded sheet of paper until I get them moved into Excel planning/project documents. Anything that belongs in that category and has a high priority will ALSO get listed on the plan of attack sheet.

One thing that I'm also doing as I keep moving these tasks from sheet to sheet is knocking out stuff that's easy, or taking first steps on stuff so that the thing I write down on the next sheet of paper is step two, not step one. Basically, it takes just about as much effort for me to order a computer charger as it does for me to keep writing down that i need to order a computer charger so I might as well order it. If I need to collaborate with Bob, I might as well send Bob a message so that what gets written down on the next paper isn't "Ask Bob" it's "Follow up with Bob."

Anyway. On to the next sheets!

Genuine question, how do you keep the list of stuff to do from joining the avoidant section itself?

I used to be okay with lists (like you said as an organizing tool not a todo list) but anymore I find myself avoiding making them...

It's really difficult to emphasize how much I love listing and sorting things. Making lists is deeply entertaining and fun for me and runs the risk of being a way of avoiding work because it's much more fun to make lists than it is to do work. I think this is a huge part of why my website is a wiki, where every page has a list-like structure.

If you are avoiding making to-do lists because they're causing stress, maybe try making different kinds of lists. I make lists to process emotions and ideas and to make decisions and to plan stuff, maybe it would be helpful for you to make some non-stressful lists. What are the craft supplies you'd buy if you had a thousand dollars? What are ten things you want to do over the summer? What emotions have you been feeling recently and how do you feel about feeling those things? What are your ten favorite recipes?

One of the best ways (for me) that I use lists is by making pro/con lists as a decision-making tool. If I'm not sure if I want to do something or what I want to do, i'll write down the options and will then sort out pros and cons of each option, which mostly just tells me how I feel about each option.

This is going to sound stupid, but brains are weird and maybe it'll work: you could try making a pro/con list about writing a to-do/organization list. Write realistic pros and cons, sure, but also throw in whatever your irrational pros or cons are either - maybe something like "if I write down all the things I have to do I'll be able to see them and that will make them real" or "brain says list bad." Include irrational pros too! "Excuse to doodle/use fun highlighters" "if I hate the list too much I can burn it."

Lists and writing are how I diagnose why I'm feeling avoidant about stuff; once I know why I'm being avoidant there are usually steps I can take to make doing the thing easier (break it down into small chunks, body double with someone, task trade, do it whining and hissing but with the promise of a reward at the end (and I'll give myself literal rewards when i'm doing something i hate; when I get done with my four avoidant items on my current list I get to go to the thrift store and get some frames))

I don't know if any of that's helpful, but I wish you luck with your lists.
