New fave adhd object: a wristwatch.

@ozzelot yeah, I guess there's a slight danger of accidentally pulling out an Object Of Distraction while going into a pocket though. Certainly would be for me
@stavvers Distraction Objects or Sensory Issue... which way, western AuDHDer

@stavvers I also have notifications disabled on my non-work Android phone (which is realistically used as a little phablet with GPS and Fedi access, and as a quick info looker-upper at say the flea market, nobody has its number) for anything but OS/app updates and SMS. The phone I may be called on is a Nokia 3210 4G (2024).
@ozzelot old school phones are absolutely fucking amazing, I love those things
-
@stavvers I wonder if this is one of the reasons I have a bunch of them
@stavvers @adhdeanasl this you

@stavvers Yeah, the firmware of the 3210 4G has a few annoying quirks (for example, unlocking the phone throws me straight into the menu instead of the home screen), but so did the phones of Back Then - and at least this one can theoretically easily get a firmware update, though I'm not giving HMD much chance in that regard.

Cannot emphasise enough how life changing it is to know at a glance what the time is, how much time has elapsed, and have all of this information without learning if a group chat is popping off
Also weirdly finding a face clock way better for time management, like 13.47 feels a long way away from 14:00 and therefore Heaps Of Time while Hand Pointing To Nearly 2 is much more of a "girl you have to get a move on" signal

@stavvers and for those of us who can't stand things on our wrists for long, a pocket watch is available!
...I should get a pocket watch.

@stavvers Enthusiastically agree.

@stavvers (it's neat to see times such as 8:08, if i'm awake by then, or 13:12 though)

@stavvers switched to mechanical watch exactly to drop cortisol levels.

@multiplex it's genuinely such a de-stressor, £100 well spent

@ozzelot 13:37 is one which the always delights the Terminally Online millennial in me

@stavvers Oh yeah, that one too :3

New fave adhd object: a wristwatch. Just a little miraculous doohicky that tells me what the time is without telling me I have a ton of texts and emails to look at. 10/10 would recommend.
@stavvers
repping an a700 has been a godsend for looking subtle but clean -
@stavvers @adhdeanasl this you

@stavvers Wristwatches without added internet functionalities are the bees knees! anyone who doesn't have touch issues or anxiety should have one (neither my anxiety nor my touch aversion allow for one, but I love how they look)

@stavvers I am old(and old fashioned) and have always preferred analogue wristwatches and would really like cheap mechanical ones to become available again.

@stavvers still love a Swatch (I am very old though)

@stavvers Getting a Smartwatch was a huge life changer for me. In addition to time, it also tells me when my next meeting is, and how warm it is outside. The watch face can basically show anything I want to quickly look up, but without the distraction that a phone would have.
