You might also get diagnosed with things out of the blue. I have dealt with depression MST of my life and one Dr tried to say I had psychosis. I am pretty sure he was wrong.

So I recently found out I have ADHD inattentive type. I think that is a cause of my current unemployment. I have been trying to say about ways to compensate that are science-based but having a hard time finding good information (I am on a medication now). Any suggestions would help.
I donated a small amount
I have been trying to find ways to compensate for some of the worse problems of my low conscientiousness. I tend to not be thorough when it comes to things I do (for instance checking spelling before posting comments,checking to see if I made a mistake in a project I am working on, making sure I pay attention to detail). I really haven’t found anything worth noting so any help would be appreciated. (The seriousness of this is I am close to being fired for it and fear I wont be able to compensate well enough)
(I realize I cant change my conscientiousness score I am trying to compensate for having a severely low one)
I have also started rereading HPMOR so I can get caught up.
I have been thinking a lot about career choices and maybe long term goals lately and I feel like I am lost on both fronts. The goals/dreams I have had in the past are gone (due to me not being conscientious enough see above, being talked out of the other option , having medical problems that prevent me from doing them). So I feel kind of like I am a leaf being blown around by the winds of the situation I am in. Instead of an agent acting in the world (sorry for the rambling)
“Emotions Revealed” has a test in the back and is recommends to read along with doing the training (I am currently reading it)
i find that heuristic to be silly. Pesticides that are used in conventional farming are heavily regulated unlike ones used in organic foods.
Most of it is safe from my reading and it saves a ton of people
I am terrible at commingled up with ideas for goals I want(meaning I cant think of any goals) How might I use these techniques for that
Do you notice yourself ever wanting to scream at people to be specific? Also, screaming at people on the Tv to be more specifi happens a lot. I wont even mention listening to politicians......
Do you think an intro to CBT would be useful at a minicamp? It seems to me rationality applied to ones own thoughts about oneself (something that i am extremely irrational about)
I have seen a lot of people suggest remember the milk. Can someone explain why that one compared to others like Toodledoo?
Hey I’m Zach, So today, using Critich’s idea for associative memory. I went to the cupboard 5 times pulled out my phone and did a little dance. This is to help get me in the habit of calorie counting.
Oh and i told a few people about this but i’ll share this too. I have always hated fashion with a passion (i did not mean the rhyme). I found out what i actually hate is “mainstream fashion.” For those at the fashion session watching luke’s part of the presentation left me with a “well crap i have to look like that in order to be “fashionable” ” feeling, it was a dreadful feeling. Reflecting on it and talking to Rick more i found out that i actually like more around what Colin was wearing.

After reading and taking classes in judgement i really am curious why we put any stock in eyewitness testimony. The only thing i can thing of is that it might be the only type of evidence in a trial but should that be suffienct to convict someone?
I am curious is there any RCTs on the effectiveness of these enzymes?
