  1. 0:30 When I was young I intuitively took the knife in the left hand and the fork in the right one. But I've been told, that you take the knife in the right one and the fork in the left one. Maybe I'm really left handed? But maybe I just did it randomly, and only remember when I had to change sides because of norms I took too seriously. Nowadays I never change fork and knife when I put them in the wrong hand. But it almost never happens to me anymore anyway.

  2. 15:35 This video is getting boring. I probably don't have ADHD anyway. I'll just get back to writing ;)

  3. 6:00 Sounds like it fits me well. I eat a lot and like to watch videos a lot. And I often can't get myself to do even the simplest tasks. It's just not worth it. 6:45 My mom often thinks I'm lazy. But I've been doing a lot. I'm often exhausted from doing too much. It's annoying to just relax. I played video games all the time. I sometimes wrote my own stories. And I learned programming on my own. 7:30 First year of university: I visited all courses. Second year: I only visited exercise courses, where I had to do homework, and failed the course(s). :) 9:45 Yeah, it can be pretty difficult not to get distracted during home office. The longer I do it, the easier it is to get distracted.

  4. Oh, that's funny. I never heard about this month before. And it even is november. I just try to write around one scene of around 1000 words daily. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I was able to create some weird rules to motivate myself. It allows/forces me to write a restricted number of stories at once, so I still make progress when I get stuck in one story or it bores me (currently it's 30 stories, more than 20 of them having less than 5 scenes). Not being able to focus on one thing until it's finished sounds like a sign of ADHD to me. And this way I turn this "weakness" into a strength :)  @NoBoilerplate

  5. Same goes fro programming btw. I'm way more efficient if I'm working on multiple tasks at once. So when I get stuck somewhere, I can work at something else, while still having the other tasks in the back of my mind to think about them. Otherwise I get easily distracted. It's like always having a few background processes open, which cannot be turned off, and always need a job.
