Yeah I know the reference because in german it became a verb. "Turking" something is creating a fake/counterfeit version of something else. So seeing it here I thought this was the english equivalent of that and jumped the gun.
Its a strip mining machine. It's sole purpose is to basically flay our planet
~~"the mechanical turk"? Really? Do I need to explain how that's racist?~~ uh wait this one might only apply to german after all.
Please!!
I patted my arm to see if it was made of flesh and bone
and???
There was this article claiming coercion by one of those poor souls affected from good-weather syndrome and it was the hospital not treating them. I bet the coercion is just that the hospital saying it doesn't know what to do unless you join the study so they can have a medical diagnosis.
So theyre just germans?
Before I had a kid yeah, I had a two-hour morning routine and a one-hour one depending on when I needed to leave the house. I had the recurring events in a week planned out and time alotted by chores/uni etc. I had a going to bed routine although that one never quite worked as I had hoped.
Having a kid all of it flew out the window of course but eventually Im hoping to get back there. Notably this was achieved with the help of a behavioral therapist. Hence me saying it needs another trusted person.
Edit: also it was a lot of practice, failing, switching things around, it definitely wasn't as straightforward as planning, practicing, perfecting, next one.
Build routines and plan your week, the fewer micro-decisions you have to make the better.
Routines for getting up, eating breakfast (exercising?). Routines for lunchtime, routines for going to bed. Routines for preparing dinner, routines for planning and going grocery shopping, routines for chores, routines to work through irregular chores/paperwork. Routines for leaving the house, routines for coming back. Best paired with a time commitment when to start a routine, planned ahead and set within a weekly schedule.
Don't start with all of them at once, plan one or two (the ones you stand to gain the most out of), prepare your weekly planner (physically written down! Do not handwave this step away!) then practice them over and over. It's hard work, annoying and exhausting to practice but once they're down you can do them on autopilot and think about whatever else. The planning and talking through of this endeavour is best done with another trusted person
I'm really glad that you did because I can link your arguments in that guys thread as examples of how there absolutely were good faith explanations and give them a wider audience.
Observing these kinds of discussions is what moved me towards hexbear.
