RE: Qurator's Mischievous Mondays | Workstation Wonders

Thanks again for the opportunity to write in this fun dynamic.

Topic of the week: The wonders of workstations.

Indeed, this is my workstation, where all the magic happens. I assure you there is not much to see besides my mess. The entropy that is constantly being created maintains a continuous cycle of order and disorder. Am I being redundant or is it just Physics? And yeah! I use a keyboard and a mouse. I can´t use the ones the laptop brings... (Am I crazy? I bet some people will understand 😑) And, surely, I keep my laptops's webcam cover (One never knows who's watching 👀)

She is not only my workstation (yes, I call her "SHE"), she is also my amusement center, my window to the world (although sometimes she crashes 🤣). She allows me to navigate beyond these four walls where I live. I'm weird because I spend more time with my workstation than with any other device in my house (including my friends and neighbors)....

As you can see, there is an octopus that always watches me, some speakers that play music from YouTube videos 16 hours out of 24. I use some headphones to listen to conversations privately (since my speakers always sound so loud that even my neighbors find out what kind of music I love). A cup of coffee (can't miss it, it's my fuel), books, notebooks, cables, other things... Like the Cross of May, which serves to scare away the ghosts, ghouls, and demons that keep me from concentrating on my work.

So, I worry about my mess and I ask the only certified and free psychologist we now have (and in whom I trust the most): Copilot (what did you think? What was I going to say ChatGPT?), anyway, any artificial intelligence is good and well I asked him why I have my workstation in such a state and you know what he told me: I suffer from ADHD!

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), according to him/her (I mean Copilot): it is because I tend to keep everything in disorder. And that’s because I leave things for later. Actually I leave them for later as a reminder (ok!), because if I remove them I forget them forever, and maybe I also have some hoarder syndrome, I also am a procrastinator, probably a perfectionist? (is that a defect?) Because I always want to have everything in a specific place, and at the end, I end up making a mess, leaving everything where it falls. Copilot also says I have stress and anxiety (in this economy, who doesn't?).

Deep down I think I'm sentimental (a new way of saying hoarder, did I say that already?), because everything has sentimental value and I have a hard time parting with things (maybe because I may or may not need them in the near future). Hence, my reluctance to throw everything away?

Or maybe I think I'm multitasking, and I keep switching from one task to another and leaving them unfinished?

Thanks Qurator! Now I know I'm crazier than a goat! 🤣
