HyperStill

HyperStill Hyperstill is an evolving archive of photography, music, writing, and static works—collected slowly, between structure and drift.

I've spent 3 hours 12 minutes on one session of Foundation & Architecture for the hyperstill website. I didn't record the time spent on the first session or the other various other things in relation to it. I think 6:30ish was my start time. 12:03 would be the time i decided its time to switch the focus.

The adventure

Start the day with actual tasks, not just tasks I make for myself: resist choosing a HYPERSTILL hyperfocus, or finally finish the bedroom shelf/bench—whatever it is called.

Make the steps. Get gas. Drive. Drop something off. Lose something. Take a lap around the mall by mistake. Decide it is okay: walking and exercise are good for me and my ADHD. Learn. Grow. Communicate with people. Learn their differences.

One says, ‘No good deals. I’m not interested in helping you.’ The other says, ‘Here are your best options currently.’ Decide to come back later. Locate what was lost.

Eat. Food is essential for coping with ADHD and my brain. Also, a function of ADHD is not thinking about food at all—going the whole day without eating, or even noticing I have not eaten. Hyperfocus. Time blindness. Intention deficit. Executive dysfunction.

Travel more. Calm. Chaos. Arrive. Low dopamine. Working memory. More executive dysfunction.

But also: notice the urge. Deep breathing. Self-kindness. Grass. Birds. Lines for gas. The sporadic breeze. Patience.

Dismissed.

Drive with the windows down, music loud. Calm. Head back. Breathe—always breathe. No clenched teeth. Slower traffic moves to the right. Follow the flow: left, right, left, right. Simple. Breathe. Continue.

Arrive. Retrieve. Leave.

Stuck. Technology is not helpful. Ask for help. Communicate. Show. Explain. Look. Breathe. Accept thanks. Appreciate kindness. Be kind. Help. Learn. Grow. Patience. Breathe. Free exit. Appreciate karma. Continue.

Arrive. Relax. Rest. Hyperfocus. Remember. Drink. Eat. The Mandalorian. Sleep.

The adventure.

Sometimes creating a bigger project, produces the opportunity to create smaller ones.

Sometimes creating a bigger project, produces the opportunity to create smaller ones.

I have not done anything creative, I was planning on getting up and working on my shelving unit. This did not happen at all. I did some cleaning and laundry, and organization. And haven't done a single thing that I was planning to do today.

Oddly enough I did things I planned on doing at the beginning of the week and still haven't completed things that I should really do. It's pretty amazing to have a list of things to accomplish, things you want to do, and you don't actually do them.

Today I put my laundry away which I started 2 days ago, I vacuumed the laundry room which I've probably thought about doing for months. I've ignored the dishes and the kitchen living room, in which I need to mop.

I did spend multiple hours (4-5ish) working on the website without actually doing anything to it. Going down a path I didn't think of, and one which started in a different direction altogether.

Is the website more important than the things that I plan on doing? Nope probably less. But it's sure more entertaining, interesting, and much easier to focus on due to the dopamine?

There's the writings of losing thoughts on one thing all together. Making a post, and then it came back like it hadn't disappeared in the first place. That is some neurological miswiring I live with.

I had thought I had something to write, and as one does with a brain like mine. You sit down to write it out and then your mind says f**k that. P**f gone. But instead of letting that disappear and just not posting anything. Here are some discovered principles.

Recognition before inspiration.
Notice before change.
Observation before advice.
Understanding is iterative.
Contradictions are discoveries.
Coherence serves understanding, not the other way around
Consistency should never come at the expense of a better understanding.

Also a new word.

iterative
/ˈidəˌrādiv/

Iterative means a process of doing something again and again, usually in small, repeating cycles, to continuously improve a product, idea, or method. Each repetition builds upon the findings of the previous one, utilizing feedback and testing to gradually get closer to the desired final state.
