Streamins service UI is increasingly bad deliberately. It's dark UX patterning as access to show catalogues narrows. If you let the user search, they will look for shows you no longer have (or never had). The goal is to hijack that journey and force a show they'll feel is 'okay' in front of them.

I popped along to the socialising group in Glasgow today and it was heaving - 30 people or so all playing... dungeons and dragons? (or something like that at any rate!). It was so lovely to be a space where ADHDers were just chilling and enjoying; not even discussing waiting list problems! 😍😍😍

Crossroads

From James Brown of the ADHD Adults Podcast: A massive new study has landed in The BMJ, pulling together 221 meta-analyses on ADHD treatments across the lifespan, easily the most comprehensive picture we’ve ever had about what helps… and what just helps your wallet empty faster. /1

"How can we nourish our mental health? We’ll be delving into burnout, perfectionism & more. Using ancient & modern Jewish stories, explainers, hints & tips, you’ll come out with a better understanding of how you can look after yourself & others, regardless of whether you are neurodivergent or not."

Waiting lists for NHS ADHD assessments are literally closed in some areas of Scotland, so this is will hopefully be a reckoning... Legal challenge against NHS Tayside’s failure to provide ADHD assessments for adults govanlawcentre.org/2025/11/25/l...

If everything is a top priority, then everything gets done quickly. That's basic management

Picard morality tip: If one side of a conflict preaches purity of bloodline above communal benefit for all, join the other side.

It takes 225 million years or so for the Solar System to make one orbit around the galaxy. Sharks evolved long enough ago that they’ve done it twice.

This was fun when I visited in Glasgow.

Two truths and a lie! #14 😶 We lie to ourselves all the time 🫣 Lying to ourselves doesn’t work 🕒 Time blindness presents in many different ways /1

I would like to this this would be me. Future husband, whoever you are, you have been warned! 🤣

Just had an anti-stress dream. Very weird. I only dream occasionally and they can be stressful, non-stressful, simply processing sometimes, but never an anti-stress dream. And what was it? I imagined I was explaining to a new barber my preferences for having my hair cut! /1

Good morning

Back in the land of ADHD, the Scottish ADHD Coalition wants to know why the Nordics, the Netherlands and Canada have managed to address a health challenge that the Scottish Government believes is beyond our own current capabilities. www.scottishadhdcoalition.org/2025/11/16/m...

Delighted to be facilitating at Limmud again this year! I'll be helping create a space for ADHDers. Somewhere we can discuss our concerns and where we at in life. See you there? I'll also be presenting, but that's for another post!

There's a reason for my big grin - with a business update - even though I also talk about Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria... all in the latest edition of Notes from a Coach! naturallypaul.com/blog/the-rig...

This is a bit of an eye opener(!) Challenges perceptions, but makes me even keener to do things in this area.

The fools! They'd be so much happier now if they had just talked endlessly about battery trains and hydrogen.

On Thursday, I went to a major interfaith event organised by Glasgow Council, including everyone from Jewish groups to Pagan. I initially wondered whether this would be performative, but the need is proved by the fact that the world would be a lot poorer without. /1

You can also stop them lowballing estimates on how much time a project will take. You just need to engineer a situation where they see three or more high estimates on a list. They'll then make theirs fall in the same range, as they don't want to be the outlier in case they look stupid.

Well this was unexpected. Because time blindness is still a thing. But I checked my diary and NOPE. No space for new clients this year(!) /1

Got an ADHD script/session provisionally passed!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 (requires formal sign off so always a chance for things to go wrong, but pleased as fuck). Now "just" to pass an ethics exam and then I will be a certified ICF coach. /1

Why don't people test their surveys? Get some initial feedback from one or two people. It's not hard. And yet, by not doing this, it totally invalidates all the rest because there are "schoolboy" errors 😔 And this is by an organisation which claims to be helping disabled people. /1
