3) Reward yourself with more dopamine
You did it. Congrats!
Now, don’t skimp on your reward. As long as it’s safe & you can afford it, do it
Ideally the reward should be better than the bribe
Do you want alone time, rest, a certain meal, going out, quality time w/ people etc?

I love this one! It’s something I’ve done for a while and it works well, especially if you have several playlists for specific tasks.
Some optional suggestions:
Play a special playlist so the music gives you a boost, make a snack bowl so your fave snacks keep you going, take dance breaks to release energy, turn the task into a game, do it with someone you like or do it while on the phone with someone you like

2) Make tasks fun, new, interesting, pleasurable, challenging in a good way
Fun/interesting things, pleasure, & light problem solving create dopamine, something ADHD folks are naturally low on (& it’s needed for motivation, focus etc)
You gotta attach dopamine to boring things

the problem of saying “ok I’ll do the thing & reward myself after” and the you find yourself just giving yourself the reward early & never doing the task
That’s because you need extra dopamine to even start a task b/c that’s just how your ADHD neurotype works

Cool, translanguaging!
"Translanguaging, as opposed to code-switching, does not merely involve alternating between languages based on context; rather, it draws on the entirety of the speaker’s linguistic resources to construct meaning and facilitate communication."
I love to hear it. #LangSky

Rosa Roisinblit, activist for Argentina's 'stolen' children, dies at 106
The Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo campaign group announced Roisiblit's death on Saturday. The activist's pregnant daughter and son-in-law, both militants of the armed Peronist group Montoneros, were kidnapped in 1978, which led Roisinblit on a lifetime mission to help others find missing family members 'until the very end,' the group said.

K-12 teacher- I keep a file of student notes/drawings/gifts and pull them out when I’m feeling incompetent. They make me remember that it doesn’t actually matter if I am or not, if I can inspire something in others, I’ve done what I need to do.
Guys what do you do when you suffer from imposter syndrome real bad? Like brain being really mean telling you nothing you ever did is good enough and people are just laughing at how bad you are?
Please no compliments or anything, really just looking for inspirational memes or such that helped you.
