A few things ive been doing recently that help manage my adhd
Not sure if this will help anyone but i've made a list of things ive been working really hard to do to help manage my adhd and general inability to be a functional adult:
Make reminder posters! Get on canva and create personalized posters to put around your room/house to help remind you to do daily things like take your meds, feed pets, take out trash, etc.
Keep a junk notebook! Anything you think of that cant do immediately write it down. If its important it'll help you remember it, if not it saves you from getting distracted or making impulsive decisions. (This is especially helpful if you tend to get distracted when studying!)
CLEAN AS YOU GO! Whether its taking a cup out of your room every time you leave or washing each dish immediately after use. If you can develop this habit it keeps your space so much cleaner!
Have two laundry bins: one for worn but not dirty things and one for dirty things. It limits what ends up on your floor!
Make use of bins. I have several around my apartment that I use for things that dont have a home. Once those bins are full, I go through them and discard or find a permanent home for them.
Don't study/work at home. Even if it means buying a $5 coffee just so you can sit in a spot and effectively work, its much better than getting so behind on tasks you get overwhelmed.
It takes some work to develop habits and im far from perfect with all of these, but if I can do these things even 3 days a week it makes a huge difference!

Decoding TikTok's Newsfeed Algorithm: Unlocking the Mystery Behind the ForYou Page
TikTok, the popular social media platform, has taken the world by storm with its addictive short-form videos. At the heart of its success lies an intricate algorithm that curates the content users see on their ForYou page. This article aims to unravel the secrets behind TikTok's newsfeed algorithm and shed light on how it pushes videos to appear on the ForYou page.
Understanding the ForYou Page:
The ForYou page is the main feed on TikTok, where users are exposed to a wide range of videos, tailored to their interests and preferences. Unlike other platforms, TikTok's algorithm is known for its ability to quickly adapt and learn from user behavior, ensuring an engaging user experience.
Key Factors Influencing Video Recommendations:
User Interactions: TikTok's algorithm takes into account various user interactions, including likes, comments, shares, and follows. It identifies patterns in these interactions to determine the kind of content that resonates with individual users. The more engaged a user is with a particular type of content, the higher the likelihood of similar videos appearing on their ForYou page.
Video Details: Beyond user interactions, TikTok's algorithm also considers video-specific details. Factors such as captions, hashtags, sounds, and effects play a role in determining the relevance and appeal of a video to a particular user. Engaging captions, trending hashtags, and popular sounds increase the chances of a video reaching a wider audience.
Device and Account Settings: The algorithm considers the device type, language preferences, and location settings of each user. It utilizes this information to personalize content and provide a localized experience. For instance, users in the same geographical area may see videos related to local events or trends.
Following and Discoverability: While TikTok's algorithm primarily focuses on personalized content, it also considers the accounts a user follows. Following specific accounts may influence the types of videos that appear on the ForYou page. Additionally, TikTok strives to introduce users to new content creators and trends, striking a balance between personalization and discovery.
The Power of Engagement and Virality:
One of the defining features of TikTok's algorithm is its ability to rapidly amplify content through the power of engagement. When a video receives a high level of engagement early on, such as likes, comments, and shares, the algorithm recognizes its potential to go viral. Consequently, TikTok will expose the video to a broader audience, increasing its visibility and potential reach.
TikTok's newsfeed algorithm is a sophisticated system that combines user interactions, video details, account settings, and the power of engagement to curate a personalized ForYou page experience. By constantly analyzing and adapting to user behavior, TikTok strives to provide an engaging and addictive platform for its users. Understanding the factors that influence video recommendations can help content creators optimize their chances of reaching a wider audience and going viral. Ultimately, TikTok's algorithm continues to evolve, making the ForYou page an ever-evolving tapestry of captivating content.

Enid: (after yet another round of intense peril due to helping solve a mystery) Wednesday, do you remember when I said payback's gonna be a bitch?
Wednesday: (solemnly but with a note of intrigue) I always remember when someone swears vengeance.
Enid: I've decided what that payback is going to be.
Wednesday: I must admit I did not believe you had the fortitude to carry out your threat. I'm actually impressed.
Enid: (gleefully) you're gonna film a tiktok!
Wednesday:
Enid: :D
Wednesday: I have only the vaguest notion of what that means, but from the way you're smiling, I'm not sure even my worst machinations warrant such a harsh response.
