I want to hear more stories of folks with #adhd who have really successfully implemented this.

Self trust, positive self talk. Who has gone from not having this to having this and what did you do to make the change.
This is way too real.

Somehow I was able to compartmentalize and keep long term insanely hard promises to myself — but still have massive guilt and shame around broken micro commitments like showing up to meetings on time
Had a roommate who was pissed at me for not remembering to put away his sun lamp try to tie those together

if you can’t remember to do this tiny thing, how can anyone trust you for larger projects like Roam

this was maybe a year before launch - we were close to out of cash...
To which my response was, well you fuck RIGHT OFF with that garbage

Keeping those separate—keeping confident in my word to myself on crazy hard tasks - despite fact that I would forget small commitments to others over and over... this has been extremely extremely hard
I’ve had advice to be “Impeccable” on the small stuff from so many incredible incredible mentors - and read so many great books that advocated same, but every time I’ve tried this so far have found failures all the more soul crushing.
The best thing I’ve found with my team so far was to setup an SLA - where I’ll pay into a “late jar” for every minute I’m late. Setting expectation that lateness will happen and creating env where that doesn’t break trust. Just being honest w what I expect of myself
I very much want to get to place where every statement and every commitment is absolutely rock solid, but if you are similar place.. please do not lose faith in yourself every time you get distracted and let something slip.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God

Interesting... I’ve mostly only seen my mother ask this question to White Americans, and it’s literally first thing she asks most everyone I introduce her to...

We’re first gen immigrants - most are pretty confused at first, say things like “Ohio”

Never an acceptable answer
The obsession with individuality and desire to be detached from our ancestors has long long history in America — most of us came here because it offered something better than where we were — but curiosity about family history seems like dangerous subject to label as racist.
Is it still racist if my mom decides it is ONLY safe to ask white people this question, and decides anyone else is more likely to be offended than have it to be a nice conversation starter...

Can see how someone might assume they’re getting special treatment - but not here

Why do we need need new tools for collective intelligence?

The sensemaking system that produced this is still dominant.
Turns out, was not “just the flu”

And Corona wasn’t and isn’t the only thing the news is wrong about

Al-Khwarizmi is often referred to as the father of algebra – a word we owe to him, from the Arabic al-jabr, “the restoring of broken parts”

So - pretty sure I just figured out a way you could get End to End Encryption for some or all of your @RoamResearch notes - as an open source #roamjs plugin - right now.

I'll sketch the idea out in this thread, and in 2 weeks, will award 10k to those who push the idea furthest
I'll also share another big decision we've made -- this week (if God wills it, inshallah, 🤞) we'll be shipping the first version of #roamdepot - an easy way to discover and install themes, javascript plugins, and community developed features that have been vetted by Roam team.
The obvious move would be to have #roamdepot be a marketplace - but we want to make sure the folks building free plugins are rewarded too - so to start we'll be distributing a portion of our revenue back to plugin authors based on installs and reviews.

Idea Friction

The time between having an idea and converting it to a shareable form.

[[Key Term]] from @jordanmoore

jordanm.co.uk/2019/04/13/ide…
I know this is tongue in check - but does annoy me a little when I see folks act as though writing things down is a barrier to action

Big plans, big questions require collaboration (at the very least with your past & future self)

and THAT requires getting ideas out of your head
When you are faced with a question you had no previous opinion on, and two authors who disagree on the answer - who will you believe?

The one who can “muster on the spot the larger number of well aligned and faithful allies”

ht @worrydream for the paper
