I need help with this right now. I have no motivation, but I have so much work due for finals. Im in a competitive post-bac program. I have to get a 3.7 or no grad school. Ive asked friends and family to help me be more accountable, but they distract me with fun or don’t follow through. I am great helping others with this but terrible at doing it for myself. If anyone wants to pair up let me know. We can motivate each other!

Its taken me forever, but I just don’t take things so seriously. If I want to get something done I make it into a game. Games….those things we played, made-up, and loved back in the day. The “arbitrary rules” are the ones we adopted when we stopped making up our own. Why make-up a game to stop talking so much?

Because talking to much is annoying and none of the other kids will want to play with us. Also you’re (me too) really not that special (*gasp, yea I said it!!). So in the words of Nighthawk “Shut your mouth. Sh-sh-shut your mouth”

OK  if you really want something serious….(I don’t know if this really came from Mother Teresa)

Mother Teresa’s Humility List (AKA

1. Speak as little as possible about yourself

2. Keep busy with your own affairs & not those of others

3. Avoid curiosity

4. Do not interfere in the affairs of others

5. Accept small irritations with good humor

6. Do not dwell on the faults of others

7. Accept censures even if unmerited

8. Give in to the will of others

9. Accept insults & injuries

10. Accept contempt, being forgotten & disregarded

11. Be courteous & delicate even when provoked by someone

 

**Im not comfortable with this list and I have ADD to prove it.**

I solved this problem for myself!!  I made up a game; I call ” Whatcha say!?”
I find it fun. Here is how you play:

Whatcha Say Game:

You are at an event, in a class, home etc, and you feel the urge to talk. STOP you must identify one person to listen to and  ask ?

1. You cannot talk unless person x asks you a real question or  – 1pnt each time.

2. You must provide honest reactions to what the other person is saying (via body lang & vocalizations) ( boring = yawn, funny= laugh, cute= wink*, crazy= big eyes, etc..) +1 per reaction

3. Ask two questions and 1 more anytime you drift off  -1 per drift

4. If you must talk (ONLY if person X asks you a real?) you speak calmly and be concise <  2 mins! +2 per x

5. After listening, go tell a friend/another person what you learned from person X. Must have at least 1 thing from 4/5  categories.  + or – 1 per

a. Personal detail (name, age, religion, hobby, subculture, religion, single?, ext… )

b. Professional detail (job, like it?, subject?, school?, classes, grades, etc…)

c. Were they interesting? (funny, selfish, crazy, etc…)

d.  How did they talk? (fast, slow,  good voice, bad breath? etc…)

e. What could come from this interaction? (friendship, job, work-out buddy, sex, headache? etc…)

6. Fun fact: During your next interaction with person x  you will engage them with a question or comment that contains information you learned in your previous interaction (ex: Hey, did you ever get that tattoo? How’s your mother? Your lecture on cerumen impaction was difficult to hear before lunch.)  + 2

I created it to improve my listening skills (not talking so much) and work on my issues with people pleasing. It is fun to play with yourself and others with ADHD.

Hope you try it.
