ADHD has got to be the weirdest disability going - giving and receiving in the most peculiar way.

Anyway, again, maybe he is worthy of the scorn for the other stuff, and maybe I am worthy of scorn for similar efforts at time management, but I have a job (only recently cut back from having three) so just had to say it's not necessarily due to his being too rich for his own good.

I thought that his making it public might be a way of encouraging himelf to stick with it longer, like some kind of anonymous-accountability-outside-yourself kinda blog project as many people do with diets or other lifestyle changing stuff. (Which I sort of just see as the internet version of going to a Weight Watcher or AA meeting, looking to a group to help you stick with a goal.)
I also have found if I can somehow harness some kind of creativity or game to tasks that usually arouse that kind of "I'd rather gouge out my eyes than do that" itchy ADD feeling, I'm slightly more likely to stick with it. Nothing is 100% but I just take whatever I can get to try to scratch out a little more productivity and stability...

Usually what happens is this: I have a huge project deadline looming, ergo my daily consumption of visiting websites like gawker increases, I take to cleaning the grout in my bathroom or going to the gym. Then deadline really looms near, I freak out and sit down and schedule out every hour of the day for the remainder of the month and power through with relative success. I also write compulsive lists for what I call "taking care of business" stuff all week long. Not on the list? Never gonna happen.
For years I didn't own a calendar, I kept all appointments/deadlines in my head. Life was a mess.
@ The One: The neti pot collects dust on a bathroom shelf. I consider planting a cactus in it every time I notice it; but that task has yet to make it on a list.

Although, I just now remembered that Jakob's bipolar disorder was "outted" by Julia on here last year. Bipolar makes sense with this too.

Oh wait. No, no, even if he had one, he's long since converted it into a bong somehow.

So no, you're not missing anything at all.

My apologies to all the random internet haters who are being forced to watch his work somehow.

Also, I can't help but feel that 'haters' is the new "You're just jealous."

I don't think people are jealous of him. I do think that people who are using Internet commenting as a form of therapy to work through whatever stress is happening in their own life by bashing someone else should seek more rewarding and constuctive forms of therapy.
Most importantly, if a mob assembles to ridicule any friend of mine, I'm going to be there to say that I'm glad my friend is alive. I'm glad my friend is doing creative work. I'm glad my friend is attempting to find the best way to live his life. I'm glad that my friend is making an effort to improve himself through various processes.
