I once prevented throwing out a broken electric toothbrush for a year

They made us stand for hours on end during national service. I consider it a form of adhd torture.

The only thing that really works for me is when I make it a 25 minute hyper-focussed challenge: Set a timer and make the maximum progress that is theoretically possible in that time. No getting water, no toilet breaks, no looking at the phone. Beats 3 hours of getting a glass of water, toilet breaks, getting hungry, realising I should work out and shower first and finding more reasons to jump up any day - surprisingly. Got to always treat it as if it were a competition.

1st panel: Anakin saying, "We took the ADHD meds so we can focus."

2nd: Padme happily responding, "I'm excited to catch up on all of these neglected responsibilities."

3rd: Anakin with a sinister look saying nothing.

4th: Padme with a troubled expression, saying, "We're going to focus on responsibilities, right?"

I do this as a pro-move tbh. I just make up for it by sleeping late on weekends
