How it goes... Let't do the task First I need come caffeine. ... Next I need some food. ... 🥱🥱🥱🥱 Time for a nap

[@lionelthebuilder]

omg thanks

[@MrEpsilonZero]

How does one do a task that "needs" doing but doesnt have a deadline. EXAMPLE: car making funny noise. Or oil needs changing... like I know it is best to adress it early...

[@sean32038]

this is so long. why give people with adhd an hour long video with commercials? omg

[@jamie.777]

That's why I have Premium, worth every nickel...I haven't heard a commercial in years

[@cristianaraujo9293]

@@jamie.777 the commercials are in the video lol

[@tysian03]

I don’t know if this works for you, but you can adjust playback speed…and it will allow you to get through the lecture much faster. Also, When I have to take breaks during the lectures, I screenshot the timestamp in the video…and pick up where I left off at a later time

[@michellejackson8877]

If you hit the link in the description that links to original video and slides you can access the presentation on their website. No commercials

[@Heatherlelane]

It drives me crazy they have no visual interpretations to their “videos”. I’m always sitting here DYING to SEE a diagram, equation, or even list because I HEAR new things but can’t “GET” them.

[@tysian03]

If you check the description box, there is a link to the actual video lecture and slides. If you click the hyperlink and provide your email address, you will automatically be able to access the private video. I hope this helps.

The betterhelp sponsor💀😭

[@sean32038]

betterhelp is a scam. their "therapists" are bottom of the barrell. i had a subscription and went through at least 20 of their "therapists". the most unprofessional and inexperienced people in the world. omg. one therapist would only communication and do session via text message. TEXT MESSAGE!! I guess she was better than the "therapist" who was wearing a dirty t-shirt with no bra and exposed her side tit.
