umadoshiAs so often happens, I had several things I meant to post about and now they've mostly evaporated.
But I do know my tabs situation is staggering out of control. (Reliably over 1700 for at least the last couple of weeks.) Odds that I'll get to replying to all the posts I've read but opened in a tab to reply to later on...are currently very slim.

If anyone has any thoughts to share about getting past this sort of rut (despite what I said about self help books I am open to advice!) and I would particularly be interested in experiences of neurodivergent people who are also prone to fixation.
