    Yes, but that top layer isn’t square. There’s one more row towards the top left. Some Qs need to be removed or added to bring balance to the qube.

      This post inspired me to make my own. I started by laying 10 q-tips on the table, then another layer of 10 perpendicular, and kept going until I had 10 layers of each. In hind sight, I recommend doing 9x9, because the next step was to poke q-tips through the grid vertically, and that pushed the other layers around and some fell off. Once you have the 9x9x9 cube, you can fill in the edges to get 10x10x10. Note that the final cube will actually be a few short of exactly 10x10x10 due to the way the shapes hold together.

      HAHA! I was just trying to explain this to my wife. I was like

      “Okay, yes, it DOES help you get stuff done but it’s kinda like casting magic…You need the right intention and materials in front of you, or else it backfires and you end up focusing super hard on the first silly, likely useless thing that grabs your attention, and forget time is still moving…”

        Me, too, but I for sure need to be trying to do the thing I want to do when it kicks in, or I’ll find myself doing something ridiculous because I can.

    Caffeine doesn’t do much for me, in fact it often seems to make me sleepy

      An atypical response to caffeine is one of the most consistent markers of ADHD I’ve seen in the wild. I’ve yet to meet someone who has it and didn’t have some level of ADHD symptoms as well.

          True. I tend to hang out with a lot of high functioning weirdos. We worked out that about half of us either were diagnosed with various neurodiversities, or reasonably could be. Several got diagnosed, after the caffeine point.

          Unfortunately, high functioning ADHD diagnosis can be VERY hit and miss. My diagnosis was apparently fairly blatant. A friend, with very similar experiences and issues, got the opposite end of the deal. Since he could hold down a job, he obviously had no issues. A depressing chunk is down to the personal opinion of the assessor.

              My house might be tidy… one day… I don’t think it’s been truly tidy in over a decade.

      Caffeine doesn’t do much for me, unless I have taken my Elvanse. Then it can be like I am too focused to actually focus on things.

      I struggle with falling asleep and it gets worse with caffein. So I never drink a lot of it after 16:00

    lol that’s like the opposite of ADHD. I worked a pretty long day today and had… idk, 10 cups of coffee? I’m not gonna have trouble falling asleep in a couple hours.

    Edit: this me joking about the situation. Caffeine is 100% extra stims, and I use it that way.
