  • Often, I loop some music such that it becomes slightly annoying for me, and tell myself that I can’t turn it off until I do the task. I’ve heard of something called “Autistic Inertia”, which states that we have a lot of difficulty starting to do something, but can easily keep doing it once we started.

    Another thing I sometimes do is set micro deadlines. Eg: If I finish getting ready before 8:30, I can have a short break, otherwise I go directly to the next task which I must complete by 9:30. (Though I might adjust the time if I am running behind)

    Something I remember hearing is “Don’t wait to be motivated to do stuff, or you won’t get anything done.”

    Edit: Added some YouTube links for some videos I remembered. Not sure if they’re the best references, but I guess they should be helpful.





  • I usually start by identifying the “meat” I want to have, then preheat the oven if necessary. The meat usually takes longest to cook.

    While that’s happening, I check that I have all the other stuff I need. Once the oven’s preheated, I put the meat (and anything else to be oven cooked) in and set the timer according to the packaging instructions. Once it reaches 10-12 minutes, I usually boil some pasta/rise with some veg.

    I’m not sure if that’s the best way, but it works for me.



  • Laughing out loud; watched the original video again.

    How it started: “I could ask friends for help or talk to an interior decorator, but that’s social interaction and I don’t support it, so instead I wrote a Twitter bot”

    How it went: *Has to ask friends for help and talk to an interior decorator to sort out the mess that the bot made.
