A wise person once said, “Don’t let your dreams be memes.” - Michael Scott

!startrek@lemmy.world would like this!

I was being facetious.

Oh cool. It makes me think it’s nearly a compound word of ‘artifact’ and something else. I looked into Diamond Age, and it seems intriguing. I added it to my book list. Thank you. 👍

…compulsive maker of things (some of which are kinda ok).

Haha, I sympathize for you. I’m like that on rare occasions. I mostly think, research, apply a bit (or a lot) of critical thinking… and then lose my interest in whatever it was. I’m an ADHD-I person in the end, and a deliberate person. So when I set out to do something, whatever it may be, I’m more inclined to make sure it comes to fruition.

I’m currently a manager of people who make things at a software company

That sounds intriguing and engaging. What’s your opinion on the career position for someone with ADHD? Has it been rewarding for you?

As for the logo, I just thought it looked cool, it was a 2-min photoshop job :) (my first few jobs was as an artist/graphic artist).

Very cool! Some of the best things in history only took a short time to make. But understanding that getting there, took a lot more time. Experience, knowledge and patience.

I strongly feel like this isn’t talked about as much as it should be. It’s one of the most frustrating things I’ve had to learn to deal with as a person. It surprised me way more often than not as I grew up, how organized people could be with their school work, notes, papers, etc. I would stress a tremendous amount about making decisions on how I wanted to present my info and what note taking format was ‘best for me.’ It blow my mind that others in second grade could just write things down and weren’t plagued with the feeling that it wasn’t in the right place, wasn’t eligible “enough,” or organized well enough.

It appears to me that you have a solid note taking/keeping system for things.

(the graph paper pad in particular is for notes and such about video games, and I’ve been doing that since the days of having to draw my own dungeon maps).

I never got into the game, but I have heard from the ‘elder gamers’ that Myst, a large amount of old school dungeon crawler games and others of the 80s and 90s really benefited from keeping notes on said graph paper or legal pad(s.)

LOL. I used to have that problem on my first computer. As time has gone on, I’ve realized that I keep notes in different areas/apps for a bit of content control and ‘organization.’ I have so much stuff on my old and newer G Drives, my go to note app and here and there things I’ve saved on my PC. Some are saved somewhere on the hard drive and others shown on my desktop.

Do you have a system that works for you or do you feel like you’re nearly drowning in notepads?

I was ‘trained’ as a kid that other adults at work or students in high school and college wouldn’t take you seriously if you had doodles on your notes pages. And so, I was scared out of it. I ended up just doodling here and there on other things as a workaround.

I’m curious to know about your user name and user image. It looks and sounds very professional. Do you mind me asking what you do for a living?

I use a system of “a bit of everything.” I have wordpads/notepads on my pc desktop for all sorts of things. (I counted 8 by the way.) 4 of them on the left monitor have to do with Etsy post descriptions that I didn’t want to lose and needed to remind myself to actively work on them. The products have been on Etsy for over 2 years now, but I still can’t accept a deletion of them just yet.

On my right monitor, I have one for jot notes, for a cyberpunk “short story” I was working on back in… checks properties info… September of 2022. I have other info and related inspiration on my Google Drive and even a dozen images collectively from ArtStaion, and Pinterest. And now that I think about it… I have several images saved to my hard drive somewhere. (Oh gawd. I just remembered that I have a collection of them saved to my alternative Imgur account, “So I won’t lose them.”)

I don’t have ADHD, do I? /s

Next I have Lines and Phrases. This is where I save anything that I feel could be used in an aspect for my story telling. Here are a few entries to give you an example of what I’m collecting.

‘A vast tapestry of wonder.’ - No Man’s Sky

From: The Pigeon Tunnel (documentary) “Betrayal fascinates me. I’ve lived through a period of endless betrayal.” “In many of the stories, there are dupes and string pullers. Those in control and those controlled by others.”

“That’s the strongest argument I’ve ever seen for the existence of destiny.” Star Trek: Discovery S1 E10 (Captin Isaacs)

The next two wordpads have info that I often need to copy paste and a few things I look at as a reminder from time to time.

And in turn Fandom is owned by Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales. Which makes me uncomfortable in strange ways.

Please, regale us with the tale.

This had me instantly think about the Aha - Take On Me music video. The ‘neon’ border color and shape adds to it in both in remembrance but also in art style. Quite fun to look at.
