Thank you so much this is awesome. Goes along with this:

Yesterday is a memory, tomorrow is a dream, today is a gift - that is why they call it the present.

I like when I look back at my READMEs, and they layout exactly what to do; I am sure to have forgotten the exact steps.

Pfft, nope!

I'm one of the lucky ones who was able to retire early at 55 and got an instant $100/fn increase in take home pay. It's gone up 3 times since then and will go up further every 6 months until I die.

I wish defined benefit pensions still existed for everyone else, but sadly, the Big Bosses decided to increase their own pay, not the pay of their workers nor the pension plans of their retired workers... Hmm...

Perhaps consider this next time you vote in an election?

Review the history of the people wanting you to vote for them, and review their polices - do their policies make your life better, or just make THEIR life better?

Find your productive procrastination methods, as my friends call it. I find that there’s generally about 40 things I want to do … all at once. Realistically, I know I can’t do them all. However, finding the ones I can do while I procrastinate on the others has been important. For example: got a paper due Friday, and it’s Wednesday? I can’t start it yet, because I just freaking can’t, so I’m going to fold the clothes I’ve not folded for two weeks. I’m procrastinating on the paper, but I’m still productive.

Also, if your energy/hyperactivity ebbs and flows, having a routine for high energy days and one for low energy days. Low energy day= an accomplishment to eat, sleep, get to work at a decent time, & wrangle a shower. High energy day= meal prepping (for low energy days), deep condition my hair or cut my toe nails, load & run the dishwasher or do a load of laundry, and catch up on the endless stack of 5 minute emails I’ve been putting off for days at work. Find what works for you on the high/low energy days, & just try to keep moving.

This is my first post so I hope it is helpful.

Time is a flat circle.

nah, future-me can go f*ck herself :D

yup, it took a while before i finally realized i can only handle small balls, not the big ones

Things get easier then get hard again then get easier, but never easy. The first step is the hardest, but the next step is the most important one to take no matter what point you’re at

I've had my fair share of actual stalkers... Sometimes you just gotta have a backbone and be a terrifying force. People are crazy. I can be much more crazy, but I hate having to be.

Is there a term / name for the left case? How to describe that case?

Future me never does anything for past me, and blames past me for not doing more. I hate future me.

Reminds me of a guy from highschool who used to say, totally serious, "Nah fuck that, thats a problem for future Jared." That sparked some deep reflection in me lol

Yup felt this I actually became a lot more motivated, happier, and productive after my parents left for awhile and I had to start figuring things out on my own.

I just realized this is the opposite of procrastination, with procrastination basically being to not love your future-self and just give them all the work

Stop eating late at night by eating just a bit less late at night. This is a projection that may help you but it helps me so... yay?

Love this! Reminded me when I would go to do some paperwork that was due and open up a chart and bam it was already done. I gave my past self a high-five right there at the nurses station.

I do this the opposite way. It's future me problem, screw that guy. Then future me hates past me, and present me is in flux.
I should probably get some help.

This is so wholesome.

I love it!

As a therapist I actually try to use this language at times. Helping clients think about "future them" is really important. Oftentimes things like AD/HD get in the way of our brains ability to visualize or process that a future version of myself suffers from today's actions or lack thereof. Love this!

See “Banshees of Inisherin” for more instructions.

Fuck future me I hope that guy dies

This is the opposite of past me and future me

I always loved this and Little Bear.

This would be a great quote if it wasn't coming from a thief.

at the same time, not giving a fuck will hurt a lot more at the start. Its not like you wake up tomorrow without a care in the world but fight everyday to keep yourself in control. But in long run it gets better and better.
