Re: "Two minutes of effort now will save me ten minutes of effort later" 

It's like the old saying "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure," or the idea of nipping problems in the bud. Doing stuff before it becomes a problem is much easier than dealing with it once it has. But, ADHD brain. It can wait.
Yeah. It can wait. But it'll just get harder, and you'll only want to put it off more until you can't any longer and what would have been a simple task becomes a seemingly Herculean feat.

"Two minutes of effort now will save me ten minutes of effort later" 

This is something I have to remind myself of a lot. I have a tendency to put off the unpleasant, such as taking out the trash. But, putting it off often leads to the issue becoming harder to deal with. What was a simple pulling the trash liner out and taking it to the dumpster becomes reining in an overflowing trash bin and carrying 2+ bags out. Two minutes of effort becomes ten.

Getting one of those showerheads that split off into a handheld shower, but replacing the handheld shower with a handheld eyewash station for when I get soap in my eyes

CW meta 

I've unfollowed some people who won't CW their end-of-the-world stuff.

Guys, every other social network is JAM PACKED FULL of the end of the world. We already know about the horrible things that are happening in American politics. You're not getting the word out, you're not keeping the public informed, you're hammering people into hopelessness and making them want to unfollow you.

Read the room. Adapt your message and your method to the audience. This isn't Twitter. Don't be THAT GUY.

Did you know I own cuvettes? I do! For some reason, Fisher Scientific sent them to me when I bought my lab coat and goggles. 500 of them. Did you know these normally sell for $175 for that many? My lab coat and goggles were less than half that! So far, I've only used 25! I should get to use more soon, but not much more. And I can't even use them as fancy shot glasses because they only hold 1.5 ml of liquid. Sad.

An important reminder for those who are grieving 

Acceptance isn't just "I'm okay." It's saying "I'm going to be okay" and meaning it, one step at a time
