It’s Always Something with ADHD

?
This is a long, complicated story, but that’s life, isn’t it?

I always try to find strategies to make my life better, to make it easier. That doesn’t always work.

I wanted to play an old song, “It’s A Man Everytime”.  I  was able to find a recording on the net, but I couldn’t find the lyrics. I knew there had to be a way to get speech to text so I could easily print out the lyrics from the recording. I spent three hours on it and couldn’t do it, so I used a good strategy and went to a friend for help.

He couldn’t do it either.

Finally, I gave in and decided to do it the hard way. I started playing the recording on my PC and paused at the end of every line and dictated the words into my iPhone. I knew this would be slow and laborious, but the easy way didn’t work.

It took me five minutes.

Strategies O the Day: 

When what you’re doing isn’t working, try something different.

Sometime you need to just grit your teeth, hitch up your pants, and grind it out.

Personal Notes O the Day:

This isn’t the post I intended.  I wanted to post an excellent comment one of you made; I think it was Jeff?  Couldn’t find it.  If it was you, please resend it.

They hid the comments over in the right hand margin or way way at the bottom.  I recommend checking out the comments; they add a lot.

I love comments.  Thank you.
