Thought experiment:

If the world was going to get reconfigured in 2026 for maximum benefit to people with ADHD, what would it look like?

All bills can be done by automatic debit, which can be started and cancelled easily.

Medical referrals call you instead of the other way around.

More free public phone charging stations.

Menus ask a series of questions about your preferences, online-quizlet-style, rather than present you all the options at once.

Abolish clock time completely.

Giving both an initial thesis sentence and a concluding summary sentence becomes normalized in verbal communication.

Not so sure about the "call you" one - I really need to be in the right frame of mind to deal with it, and being called at any random moment isn't likely to work well for me. By all means email/text me, tho!

I'll make a modification:

It's normalized for people to form rings of personal assistance, where the one person who's good at making appointments does it for everyone and the other person who actually likes filing taxes (me!) does that for everyone and the person who has a system for sending in warranty cards and rebate forms does that for everyone in the group.

Seriously, why aren't we doing this already, I'm ready to live in a commune.

What do you mean by clock tine? How else would we tell the time?

[-] Nemo@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

The sun. Our bodies.

The long and the short of it is, there's no fundamental difference between 8:59 and 9:01 except that one of them gets you written up at work.

If you have a shit employer maybe. I don't think knowing exact times is the issue there like.
