As a person with ADHD, I have trouble with time. I have something called “time blindness” which means that the passage of time for me is… interesting. Basically, I lose track of time all the time. I often need alarms to remind me what hour of the day it is. One result of this relationship with time is that I have difficulty maintaining schedules and habits. Like this blog for instance: if it weren’t for my pact I probably wouldn’t have been keeping up with blogging as much as I have. (As a reminder, I lost that content as part of a migration: see my post about it.)
Harlan Ellison wrote a short story called “Repent, Harlequin!” Said the Ticktockman about time schedules, and I remember being very moved by the ideas in the story. One conclusion that I came to was the schedules should be tools for people, not the other way around. I agreed to the pact because I want to write more, and there is money involved as an additional incentive. I don’t anticipate the pact becoming to onerous to comply with: I just need to make sure that I pony up the cash if I miss a week!
So, despite the ADHD, I’m going to attempt to follow a schedule of publishing new posts based on the deadline of Wednesday at midnight, according to the rules. I will attempt to have enough material to publish for a whole month or two, so I won’t be rushing to write something last minute like I have been doing.
The Official Schedule
Starting in May, a new post will be published on this blog every Wednesday morning at 9am central time, which will give me a full day to do any small revisions.
I have mastered some points through your site post. One other thing I would like to state is that there are various games that you can buy which are designed particularly for preschool age little ones. They incorporate pattern identification, colors, animals, and designs. These often focus on familiarization as an alternative to memorization. This makes little children engaged without sensing like they are learning. Thanks
