Did you feel better after doing it?
Kind of? If that makes sense. It's less a feeling of accomplishment and more relief cause it isn't hanging over my head anymore.
I see it like this; Instead of raising our mood from say a base 0, we're getting to 0 from a negative deficit. A net gain, but not really making you feel better.
Hygiene factors [β¦] do not give positive satisfaction or lead to higher motivation, though dissatisfaction results from their absence.
Getting things done you know you need to do is a hygiene factor.
whoa, cool study. Never heard of this before, but it makes sense. I do still think ADHD brains process dopamine/seratonin differently - maybe that makes more or most things "hygiene factors", where a neurotypical would have them more as a "motivator"?
The common "oh I accomplished this, but it rather than elation, I just feel relief", and if you don't accomplish the stress of it being unmet
Iβve never heard of this before. It seems useful. Thanks for the intro!
This was news for me as well, bookmarked and looking forward to an in-depth read later - thank you!
I'm always so happy to learn more about how this works so I can recognize and adapt. I know it works for many, but the thought of medication as the answer is something I really try to avoid.
This is something I'm currently studying for a class so this is really intriguing to me. For what it's worth, that task is not as easy as it seems and you can tell from others here (myself included as I often get frustrated by things like forgetting to send in a rebate form) that it may be more common for people to NOT accomplish this kind of task.
I just wanted to tell you that I hope you can feel some of that sense of accomplishment along with the relief. Whether it's hard or easy is irrelevant....you did it and that's what matters! Good work!
You are good people.
βSorry sir, but your warranty expired five months agoβ
That was one of my fears as well. Thankfully, the issue is so wide spread that they are replacing them outright even after the warranty has elapsed. Sony WF-1000XM4 has an issue where one of the buds drains 5 times faster than the left. Started with firmware 1.4 or 1.4.2.
Thatβs good
Good job. ADHD can be a real struggle. π
I have these and the left one is failing, much quieter. They also kinda have uneven battery usage. They wouldn't help with the quiet audio, due to the warranty expired. I wonder if I could get them to bite on the battery issue.
I mentioned the difference in battery usage and heat when charging. The date of purchase and model may make a difference though. Bought mine at the end of 2021. This is a good article to get some info going into it. I did the online chat with Sony. Good luck!
Well done!!
Sony?
Yepp. The WF-1000XM4 battery issue.
I did that too in a late night productivity burst, just in time before a really long flight. I was pretty proud of myself on that one.
I should really do that for my monitor
Well done!
Fuck yeah! Congrats on doing the thing!
Fuck yea!!
Teach me your ways
