Oh my God, I've got to renew my car insurance.
Can you just like be with me while I do it?
It's almost like a hand-holding thing.
Or if it's something really like, I've got to go make dinner.
Right, will you come with me?
Or he's like, come on, let's go make breakfast together.
Like it's almost just having a buddy.
So there must be something in your brain that, like I said, I'm not a neuroscientist or anything, that just kind of triggers that whole, okay, actually someone is here and maybe then you're not going to be as distracted.
So they just keep you on track.
Well, exactly.
And the thing is, it sounds like, doesn't it, that everyone's just done and they're watching while you do all the cleaning or the cooking or whatever.
And that's not the case at all.
But I think sometimes, actually, you don't need the person to help you.
You just need that person to help you, almost like I say, keep on the straight and narrow, but kind of keep focused on what you're doing.
Yes, yes.
Literally, you can do... I keep talking about this.
We've got a big... It's a group called Norfolk Women with ADHD up in Norfolk, obviously where I live.
And we keep saying we need to set this up where you can just have someone that either, you know, on FaceTime or they're on Zoom or whatever...
just keeping you on track you can do it with work as well but you can do it with you know sorting the house out and just you can either do the same thing at the same time but actually you don't need to it just keeps someone on track the other thing you can do as well which is really nice is message a friend or if you're part of like a community or a group or whatever and say right I'm going to set myself a bit of a challenge I've got to tidy my dining room or living room or whatever and
I've got to do this in an hour.
