It seems like the logical thing to do, but when I first started driving I had no idea how the side mirrors had to be adjusted. I eventually decided that I should at least have it angled to see the other lanes for when I wanted to merge. It wasn’t until much later that I learned that the side mirrors could and should be used to check the back of the car as well.
Hi sorry about that! Thought I had it in the text body my bad. Just added it in.
Got really bad ADHD so short-term memory things like this are not something I can remember consistently. There are other factors like new drivers or how others have mentioned using multiple vehicles due to work or leasing.
I have to literally isolate myself from anything that can distract me. I’ve noticed that pressure from a looming deadline helps, but that’s not very healthy. What really gets me is the motivation to actually study, but I have been getting some good results with putting those ambient music or sounds on noise canceling headphones. For motivation, it’s hard. The mindset of “might as well” seems to work but is hard to get into the habit of doing. I have long commutes to school and if I’m bored I might as well look over my notes on my phone then be bored. Sometimes I just have a “blah day”, which is literally a day I just won’t get anything productive done if I don’t have to. And that’s ok, we tend to burn out quickly so it’s good to listen to our bodies. But I hope this helps!
I learned this recently. I would end up circling the gas pumps trying to remember if it was right or left. It wasn’t until the person who was on the pump beside me, who also saw me do this circle before getting it right, told me about this feature. I remember telling a friend of mine about it and they told me that they already knew, but no one ever told me about it. Glad to know I’m not the only one who would have to play the guessing game of “which side is the gas tank”.
