This looks like a fantastic set of tools, thanks for sharing :)

Because it's not a habit. It's a deliberate choice to pick up their instrument and play. Every time.

Muscle memory helps, because that seems to be separate from forming habits. Once you've got it, it seems to stick.

I was in a band in my late teens, and I had to force myself to practice if I was alone. Practicing with the band was much easier because it was something that I really enjoyed, but even then, I'd almost always be late, or have to be reminded to go.

This was something that I loved to do, but still really struggled with. As soon as something else came along that was a bigger distraction, the band was done.

That sounds more like the muscle memory isn't there yet. I can play a few instruments (badly), but it's because I really wanted to do it when I was younger, and developed the muscle memory.

I haven't played properly for a few years, so now I'm back to a similar place to you, and have to think about what I'm doing again.

What I've been finding helpful is making a playlist of the songs I want to learn, or to play again, and putting it on nice and loud. It makes me want to play along, and seems to let me concentrate on the songs.

Good luck :)

this is not automatic, all my toothbrush stuff is set up as a visual cue any time I'm near the sink

I can't even do that. If I leave my toothbrush in the same place, it becomes part of the background and I don't really notice it.

Brains are weird.

Cool, I'd do that if my brain didn't confine me to my bed for 18 hours without meds.

Is that what that is? I'm in my 40s and trying to get diagnosed, and the possible ADHD has got worse over the last few years. I've gone through periods of weeks where I'm really struggling to get out of bed, and they coincide with each other.

Ah, for £4 it's worth a look 🙈😁

Ah, I convinced myself that I was wrong to think that. I know you can get electricity from lemons, and thought I'd mixed them up 🙈

I'm new to this, and not sure if Lemmy.world is an instance or an app, so please forgive me if I step on any toes.

Voyager is an app that lets you have infinite scroll, along with letting you block communities from the 'all' feed

Anything that stops me from seeing the same posts every time I open the app would be nice. It feels like I have to scroll past 50+ old posts before I start seeing new content, and that's every time.

I don't know if it's something to do with Voyager, or if it's a Lemmy issue, I just know that it's annoying.

That worked out well - one copy in stock for £4.05. I've been trying to learn JavaScript for a while, so thanks for the recommendation :)

You're misunderstanding. It's not to prevent emergencies, it's to create them 👍

You posted an hour after the devs had said that the request had been merged and was available. That's not being helpful, that's advertising another app.
