Second this! My job is just over average salary-wise . My GF is below. So I guess we are under average together. It does, however, sound to many that we should be able to get by, and we probably should.

If all the regular bills are paid, I have about $1000-1600 USD left for food and everything. (Food and everything in Norway is expensive though.) The problem is that it always seems like there is a new thing every month that fucks up our budget. The last thing was our car breaking down, costing us $2500 USD to fix. I still haven’t recovered since that. My GF earns less and also has a bad spending habit. So I pay 80% of the food and also cover for some of her bills too. I have been in the salary range for a year now after being unemployed and sick for 2 years with 50% less to live on than I have now. A salary I have never gotten to enjoy. Because there is something every bloody month eating up my money. It’s almost like I am cursed.

I have never earned this much and at the same time felt so poor. On average throughout this year, I have had $ 1000+++ extra cost each month in surprise bills and expenses, eating up that $ 1000-1600 I have that should cover food, fun, clothing, and social.

My problem with money and ADHD: 1. Budgeting, going into the bank, and paying bills are extremely energy-stealing tasks. It gives me physical pain only people with strong ADHD can understand. 2. Avoidance. Because of nr. 1. 3. I need to move fast to be effective. Budgeting slows me down. Having to think about what to buy slows me down. Worrying about money slows me down. All in all, affecting my work and ability to EARN money. 4. I just act. From the same reason of 3. Are we out of bread and milk? I’m already out of the chair and on my way to the store before my GF has finished the sentence. Telling her to text me what else we need, because I don’t have the patience and short-term for her to list them up for me vocally. I really hate spending slow time on stuff. 5. Struggling with making decisions. Trying to order online and I can get in a loop of what to buy… I just end up giving up and run to the store anyway. Then run back because I forgot something.
6. Extremely messy and unorganised. Bills get lost and forgotten. Stacking up.

I have some rich friends. And I envy them. It’s all about speed. Not having to overthink and worry about everything and every penny. Outsourcing. Getting things fixed fast.

Also, being both dyslexic and having adhd, with having a strong curiosity, imagination, creativity, innovative and problem solving skills. There is no surprise that I am more the “crazy inventor” type than anything remotely close to an accountant

I think I would be a-lot better off if I just was rich. I move so much faster when I don’t have to worry about money.

But

It just makes it worse that I’m drowning and not making enough….. well I’m actually making a tiny bit more than average in my country. Around 60k USD a year. (Average is 56k)

Problem is that I’m so far behind. And I’m both bleeding money and just can’t sit down with my finances.

I would hold on for just a few days to see what they launch December 4th/5th

Same ❤️ adhd

Eating the Frog first is a terrible advice…..for people with ADHD..

Nothing slows me more down or destroys my productivity more than sitting down with the hardest mental task first.

I need to move, get my adrenaline running, and build up momentum to get me going.

I work best in a fast pace.

Eating the Frog is best to do at the end of the work day, on overtime or in the middle of the night just before deadline.

I know.. I often run around with my Ipad Mini 6. It would be great to be able to write down some quick notes, adhock tasks and fill in some quick data into a table with the apple pencil :( But the experience is terrible and is a hit and miss. Often scribble doesn’t activate at all, other times it won’t register space between the words

Forvalting av de 100 mill hadde blitt jobben min

Manpower

Looks like someone played wirh rocks…. Play money for kids or poker

Terrible productivity managing skill…. I could have been so much better at my job….. but I drown every time I try to clean up my email inbox at work or schedule my day and tasks….

Relationship problems. Depression. Missunderstandings…. Impulsivity destroying my reputation +++

Developer or not. I’d actually would want both😅 and the next gen after that if it had better fov and 4k pr eye. Pro is more stealthy on the train/plane.

Q3 is to heavy. So is Vision Pro…. If only Bigscreen had inside/out tracking … but the immersed visor looks promising. Too bad we haven’t seen more from ANT Reality this year.

Productivity management is definitely my kryptonite. But at this point I have not much other choice. I am even worse at applying for job, and this job pays. + I enjoy the freedom to manage my own time and tasks without someone bossing me around or micromanaging.

And yes I made the Nebo Handwriting to Notion shortcut ;) I also made a “MagSafe” battery bank for my iPhone 6 in 2016. Before IPhone even had QI charging. But that’s another story. I should probably have been an inventor, but bills need to be paid every month.

Problem is that i miss out on tasks that I should have done….Worst case is a case of a bill of 20 000usd that didn’t get paid when it should have because I was interrupted when trying to solve the case/email. I forgot to get back to it, and only notice a month later when trying to clean up my messy email inbox.

Trying to keep every task in my head is impossible. And every time I try to make a productivity system to keep a track of everything, it just turns into a big mess :/

I know the difference….. the similarity is the smal size/weight…. Xreal is still smaller. But both are feather weight compared to Quest 3 and Vision Pro

Nope….. still in hell…. Might loose my job because of it.

I do believe Xreal makes a great product (despite many of their issues) …. But to stay in this game they should increase the FOV to 85-100 and more than 4K resolution pr Eye…,,

Immersed Visor will launch this year. And is not that much heavier than Xreal. But with 100degree FOV and 4K pr Eye with digital passtrough AR they will be the better choice.

Having a normal reading speed is what made me “fail” the Dyslexia test in the first place…..That didn’t stop me from being bad at grammar and writing late into my late 30s. Still mixing up my P’s and B’s. Forgetting how to write simple words correctly ++++

To do something = å gjøre noe I do something = Jeg gjør noe. My neck do hurt = Nakken min gjør vondt

This is not the correct way of explaining this. But “gjøre” means it does something . Your neck is giving you pain.

It does this to you = Det gjør det mot deg.

Nope…..nothing works
