I just like saying that. XD
On the recommendation of my therapist, I bought a book called ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life. This book is AMAZING. Not only do the suggestions actually WORK, but the book itself is written and organized in such a way that a person with ADD can read it and make sense of it easily without becoming overwhelmed with boredness. One of the suggestions that's been especially helpful to me is to make a "stubby to-do list" each day. When I first read it, I thought, "I don't really need to do that, because I already keep a to-do list." Problem is, that to-do list is a long-term list, and hardly anything on it ever got done. The stubby list, you write 5 things that you NEED TO or WILL do THAT DAY in big letters, and stick it where you will always see it (and take it with you if you tend to forget easily). For example, my list for today was:
1. physical therapy 10:30
2. mail DVD
3. make appt. for Sei-chan
4. register for JLPT
5. send change of e-mail notice
Just small things, but the last three I've been putting off for months. But since I started this stubby list, I've been able to do everything on my list every day! Today, I'm already done! :D And even though it seems like "oh, only 5 things, that's not a lot," in reality, I'm getting sooooooooo much more done. (Like putting a new song up at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
geek_mythology!) *bounces* Seriously, I love this book. I'll marry it once the gays destroy society's heteroexclusivity, because IF WE LET A MAN MARRY A MAN, WE'LL HAVE TO LET ANYONE MARRY ANYTHING!
Physical therapy hasn't been too bad. Today we did stretches and then I got mildly electrocuted for ten minutes (my skin hates that part). The therapist says that I have a lot of mobility in my shoulders, but not enough muscle to control it properly, so once the pain is gone, we'll do some upper body strength training, which is something I've been wanting to get to anyway. Hopefully, it will stay nice like this, and not turn into torture like it did when I had to go for my knee. D: (In my XxxxYuu AUverse, Yuuta goes into sports therapy (as a profession, I mean), but that's entirely unrelated.)
Also, Murdock is happiness. Murdock and Yuuta should have totally hetero wild and crazy fun adventures together. That would be awesome. ♥ (HAHA, and Yuuta's expression when he's introduced to BA! XDDDD)
