I have so many things I want to do but just can’t. Play a video game, read a book, take dog for walk, build a gadget I bought parts for, finish writing a song, finish building a computer… But no, I just sit there stuck. How do I get unstuck?

    Imake a list and number them and then go on random.org and have it choose an integer and then i do the the thing on the list that matches the number randomly chosen.

    This way i’m not making a decision, the lord of chaos is.

      Tried it, not a great success… The only result is making me not want whatever was chosen anymore.

      • Movie A or movie B?
      • I can’t decide… I want to watch both…
      • Lets flip a coin.
      • The coin says movie A.
      • I don’t want movie A anymore. Movie B it is then.
      • Wait maybe the coin is using reverse psychology on me… I should pick movie C that wasn’t in the list just to be safe.

      My brain has this awful tendency of going “I could have done it a minute ago but now that someone else told me to I can’t anymore”

        If you flip a coin and don’t like the answer that just means you already decided but didn’t realize you had decided.

          No it’s really that the result feels like a decision imposed on me and my brain can’t deal with that… It’s the same if I start to do something I want, then someone calls to tell me to do it and now I can’t do it anymore. Not sure if it’s PDA or something else, but it’s really annoying, especially in combination with AuDHD.
