  • Medication definitely helps as other has said. But for me when I need something extra to get through break it up and take a break in the middle

    And this is what works for me, your mileage may vary

    For example if I’m writing a paper first I’ll first make an outline, intro, methods, conclusion, etc. Then I just have to fill in my bullet points with general ideas. When I’m done with that I start writing intro then take a break

    Another thing is what take others 3 hours to do will take me the whole day so whenever I’m at my halfway point or I’m spinning my wheels I’m the mud (which is when I’m getting no work done with lots of thoughts or zoning out) I take my break but I tell myself “I’m doing good I deserve a break, I’m doing good I can’t burnout, I looked at my calendar I’m on track. I always give myself those reassuring pep talks because I know I can’t work fast it’s just who I am

    Then I take a half hour break either playing games or walking the dogs or grabbing a snack. Something I’ve noticed is different activities will help differently. For example if I’m zoning out lll walk the dogs to get back into it. If I’m still “thinking” about the paper but finding it hard to bring myself to type it out I’ll play a game

    Hope this helps, it’s really about finding what works for you and which strategies work when

    As I straight man, I totally might get this just to mess with people

    Also another quote you could flip from an online buddy I am no longer talking to (for obvious reasons)

    “Look I love straight people and I fully support their right to be straight… just don’t make it all too talk about” side note, when he said this originally without the roles flipped he then proceeded to only talk a chick new brought home

    There’s also a gay guy in my IRL friend group and we commonly say to him, “I would love to live by the words be gay do crime, but since I’m straight you’ll have to pick up the slack”

    This has been story time with FlipFlop and I hope it has made you sharply exhale through your nose
