Considering trying this to see if I can straighten out my atrocious lack of concentration, not to mention executive function.
My boss at work is offering to send me on a course that will give me a qualification, which is likely to cost him a pretty penny, and I really want to do it justice, but my powers of concentration are shot and I haven't studied for 44 years
I was even thinking of going on one of those "foundation" courses to prepare you for study, but I think it might be a bit basic for me? Not sure.
Aside from that, though, I have really been having a lot of trouble with focus, my thoughts just seem to FLY AWAY.
Sometimes my brain feels like the equivalent of the big bang theory, with all the stuff I am trying to retain disappearing into an ever-expanding and unreachable outer space corner of my brain.
Bit of a big step for me... ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Yes I actually did exactly that.
I'm being referred (eventually) to some august professorial type at Kings, but am in no rush.
I'm concentrating better, cut back the weed (not quit) and (mostly) drink decaff as well
I'd already cut out a lot of sugar, went to using powdered sweetener a couple of years ago (hence that chunk of weight loss back then).
But the Elvanse gives me headaches and makes me jittery so I tend not to take it every day - I don't know HOW some people take it twice a day every day (!) but I suppose ... different things for different folks.
So ... still a little bugger - still capable of skiving off, getting myself into scrapes, and procrastinating - but my garden is coming along nicely, I'm getting my work done, hopefully enough to sail through my probation period at work, and then I'll see about this study course.
Or whatevs ...
One day at a time. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |
