Ao3 writers are the strongest Avengers

Figures at work in a winter landscape, an approaching storm beyond (1859). By Fredrik Marinus Kruseman (1816-1882).

site that you can type in the definition of a word and get the word

site for when you can only remember part of a word/its definition 

site that gives you words that rhyme with a word

site that gives you synonyms and antonyms

THAT FIRST SITE IS EVERY WRITER’S DREAM DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I’VE TRIED WRITING SOMETHING AND THOUGHT GOD DAMN IS THERE A SPECIFIC WORD FOR WHAT I’M USING TWO SENTENCES TO DESCRIBE AND JUST GETTING A BUNCH OF SHIT GOOGLE RESULTS

OMG

This one’s an always-reblog, because who knows who needs it and hasn’t seen it yet?

this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it

buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell

leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist

put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.

when that little voice in your head says "i dont need to write that down, ill remember it" that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!

plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.

if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge

if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.

its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because "this shouldn't be this hard". it is hard, so make it easier.

You have no idea how pleased I am that more and more people are accepting the healthy middle ground between the equally unhealthy "I must be able to do things normally or else" and "I am neurodivergent so there is no hope for me."

Accommodating my ADHD is an ongoing process because discovering where those problems are is an ongoing process. But the minute I have even one thing on lock, it helps me start hunting down those other things and fixing them.

(Also Bird's Eye steamfresh bags are a godsend, especially the ones that have pasta or rice included.)

This advice is excellent and applicable for lots of neurotypical folks too!

I didn’t understand my adhd until way late in life but everything I’ve ever done that I thought I had figured out a hack for adulting has turned out to be adhd coping skills I stumbled into.

overworking and undersleeping makes even the most normal people start to break down and show the same dysfunctions adhd and autistic people deal with regularly: memory and focus issues, problems regulating emotions and coping with sensory overload, difficulty with time and resource management.

if you're dealing with long hours and little rest, or illness, or grief, or school, or shitty parents or awful coworkers, you deserve to make things easier on yourself.
