      Wait until you hear about OCD ADHD combined. I recommend everyone use https://obsidian.md/. It’s my trapper keeper and I’ve managed to funnel everything into it into their own little boxes in a rather automated fashion… Combine that with a little self hosting and you’ve got an orchestra for the chaos gremlin that you can drop and pick up again as many times as you want. I regularly mix up my toys and tools to keep it interesting as long as they funnel into obsidian eventually. I literally have about 200 obsidian extensions and everything syncs across network and devices lol.

        I came here to recommend it as well. It’s wonderful for this. My memory is shit but I have enough of it to be like… wait I think I did something with this once… and then search my vault for my notes. I used to use OneNote but Obsidian is 1000% better. I love how fast it is to create a reasonably documented note if you have a template set up.

        My workflow for anyone interested:

        Ctrl + O

        Type the title which shows you if theres anything that already has this name where you might want to add this instead of making a new note (assuming you have a naming scheme).

        Shift + Enter to create the note.

        Ctrl+~ to add template. Paste info, paste url and make whatever notes I want.

        This leaves you with an easily searchable vault of notes which you can further organize with tags/links pretty much however you want.

        I thought to myself. This looks neat, I’ll check it out. Went to the page, then to the App Store to install it. Already had it. Doh!!

        With enough ADHD individuals’ Obsidian notes combined, we will be able to release a book based on the summarised self help articles. “Survive ADHD, OCD Anything, the book.”, the first page will feature an FAQ, and a link to the audiobook version.

    You have to remember the thing you wanted to remember and where you put it only to find it six months after the point it was useful anymore but don’t delete it because it might be important again even though the odds of you remembering it and where it is should it be useful are near zero.

      At work I use tab groups to keep them organized by project, so I can tell just how far behind/how overwhelmed I am with a given project by the count of tabs in a given tab group.

      It’s a highly effective way to quantify my work-related anxiety.

    what’s worse is when it’s a store you wanna check out but don’t want the advertisement to get credit, and when you finally DO remember to check it out, the store is gone cause it was a scam all along

    Wow. I signed up for a service to do this and it’s mostly filled with memes or funny stuff. I’m glad I’m not the only one.

      Just like basically every mental attribute, ADHD is a spectrum. I’ve been diagnosed ADHD but don’t have it half as bad as many of the people here seem to, and yet I’ve also had a variety of bad reactions to every medication I’ve tried. Other people may have a few symptoms but not enough to bother getting a diagnosis, as it may not affect their daily lives at all.

      But also I’m another person who has too many favorites to ever properly read through, so this is a definitely real, medically valid internet comment diagnosis that you undoubtedly have ADHD

        Also there is a problem with some clinics diagnosing adhd ad hoc

        You just go they talk to you and bam you get diagnosis after one hour of half assed interview and questionnaire. It’s more or less harmless for individual imo but you waste money and time where the problem may be something different

        I don’t know how to approach this fake half assed diagnosis topic but it has disturbed my inner peace and itches the back of the brain

      This is something everyone does in varying degree and does not necessarily mean you have ADHD.

      Looking at this behaviour in isolation says nothing WRT whether or not you have ADHD…so the answer is maybe, maybe not.

    In the immediate future, the screenshot archive becomes unmanageable.

    In the long term future, it becomes the modern equivalent of what your parents and grandparents got out of keeping a scrapbook or photo album.

    I’ve been chronically online since 1997. Going through a scrap folder which I held onto when decommissioning an old PC or phone brings back all kinds of memories. I even find that noting the changes in my meme taste can be really useful for identifying points where I’ve grown as a person. That, in turn, leads to reprocessing old memories and identifying ways in which I brought something to the table which facilitated some of my own bad experiences. That helps me heal.
