I was in the middle of something in another room and it occurred to me that this familiar expression could be adapted for ADHD: A watched pot never catches fire. Good reminder to exercise a little extra caution in the everyday tasks that get boring but are still dangerous if you get complacent. Driving, cooking, poking around in a running computer with screwdriver even though you know you should shut it off, that sort of thing.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I should get back to cooking breakfast before the “food is done” alarms start going off throughout the building.
If you have an instant pot, you can make rice in that. I’ve ignored it for like 40 minutes before, and the worst thing that happens is that it gets a little dry, which you can then fix by microwaving it in a bowl with a splash of water.
That’s cheating! Why would I want anything easier :)
