Some marbles. I’ve lost a few over the years.
A cat.
Some years ago, I lost a drawing notebook full of sketches I’d done over a few years. Dunno if that counts as ‘valuables’?
I’m 99% sure it’s somewhere at home, but either way I’d really like that back.
Nice snack I bought myself and forgot, and then finding it again later while browsing aimlessly.
I took the cargo hitch off my bike and set it down somewhere in the basement…
Happiness.
We said no valuables
Oh, I found such a thing three different times, yesterday! In a county office, an employee patiently, compassionately, happily helping an elderly lady with paperwork; at a takeout restaurant, a genuinely happy individual who graced me with a smile that would shame the sun, in it’s glory, an authentic wish for a great day and a hug, at another business, another absolutely fabulous smile from a spry elderly lady with the most brilliant gray hair.
My motivation
Motivation is fleeting. Discipline is a trained skill.
Whatever thing you wish you had motivation for, make a schedule for yourself and start doing it. Pair it with something you like (“I run each morning and I get my morning coffee after I finish my run”) and stick to it.
To someone with ADHD, this is like telling them to just pull ya’self up by yer bootstraps. 🙃
The problem with adhd is that we know the guy who set the rules is full of shit
I lost my friggin glasses two weeks ago, it’d be nice to find them.
Weird little drinking related story about finding my glasses from my college times: Got accepted for a PhD and wanted to party. Met a good friend and went to a Balkans party with loads of cheap booze. Wake up at 6am in a night bus out of town and can’t find my wallet on me. Run like crazy to the club/bar where the party was. Last people there let me search for my wallet. Only find my glasses in the bar toilet that I didn’t notice I had also lost. Lock credit card and go home happy that I at least found my glasses.
