Da har jeg endelig fått laget meg en bruker på Bluesky: https://t.co/95B18sjk5c

Hvem andre finner jeg der? Har funnet noen av de jeg følger her på Twitter, men mange jeg ikke har funnet enda.

But if I don't answer, they send SMS or a new message. So I then end up answering them anyway and wasting my time... Maybe the best solution is to just formulate a generic answer I can copy/paste as a response? Or is it ok to just keep ignoring them?

[Hilde Vestøl @hildevestol]

Do recruiters expect you to answer inquiries?
Most of the messages I receive are very generic and they haven't even done any research on my skills or previous employments. So I just ignore them because I value my time...

This is a great thread 👍

When parents talk to me about gaming and screens, it’s always about fear. ‘Will they get addicted?’ they ask me. ‘I can’t control my own use, how can a child do it?’. There’s so much fear that we have no time to talk about the benefits. So here are some of the things I see. 1/

We all talk about how infinitely scrolling websites are often bad for user experience... but we never talk about how it makes the footer feel.

So I made this @CodePen to help shine a light on the footer's never-ending sorrow. 😢

them: Oh, well have you tried fixing that by [using executive function]?

Testing out Pomodoro Technique (again); and so far I like it 🍅

Previous attempts has involved some sort of an app which got in my way and made it complicated

Now I just start a timer for 25min, then a break for 5min. It really helps me focus and my #adhd 🧠 seems to enjoy it!

Finnes det kodelås som har en timer funksjon fra man låser opp? Jeg har funnet låser som har en timer i det man låser, men det jeg trenger er noe som har timer fra jeg låser opp. Ønsker f.eks å låse inn godteri og at jeg må låse opp 24 timer før låsen faktisk åpnes.

I used to obsess over time management, but I think what's better is working on energy management.

Sometimes I'll have time to do a thing, but I'll just be... tired after doing other tasks in the day.

Prioritizing + scheduling based on how many spoons I have has been helpful!

Dear programmer...

[Hilde Vestøl @hildevestol]

Now I either have to pick up the phone to see if something has happened or I will see the notifications on the phone in front of me in the timeslots where DnD is not on.

[Hilde Vestøl @hildevestol]

This is probably the best idea I have had in a long time! My ADHD brain gets so distracted by all kind of notifications or just red dots on apps that I see when I switch between apps forcing a time (and brain) expensive context switch back and forth.

[Hilde Vestøl @hildevestol]

Testing a new thing to try to reduce distractions and context switch..

I scheduled a bunch of focus times on my work iPhone with just 5 min here and there where I can receive notifications and closed all “noisy” apps on my Mac.

So I have basically scheduled distractions 😂
