That's a different decisional balance of what I'm actually facing.

Writing eight hours of dissertation?

No, but I'm just going to go work at a coffee shop.

Maybe I'll scroll for eight hours.

I don't know.

But working at the coffee shop might actually get me to a different set of behaviors that is going to generate change.

OK, and you can do this whether you're scrolling for eight hours, whether you are

you know, turning on your video games or audio books at midnight and then not going to sleep until five o'clock in the morning, it's because you didn't have enough time for games earlier in the day or your favorite people that you play with are up at that hour.

And so this is like special dedicated time to play with my favorite folks.

Okay.

Well, once I map out that constellation of pros and cons, that helps me tinker with, oh, I need more of here and less of here.

And I need more motivation for my replacement behavior.

Okay.

I'm not doing terrible on time.

So with that, I'm gonna swap over into our Slido to see what specific questions you all have.

Ooh.

Okay.

Question with the most upvotes at this moment in time is how do I know if I have autism or ADHD or both if I have social anxiety?

yeah uh i mean obviously my easiest answer is find a professional um that you can talk to about all the things you are experiencing and have experienced um and they can help you with a diagnosis that being said uh access to highly skilled mental health professionals is um

is tragically limited.
