Turn Your To-Do List Into an Action Plan and Get Things Done

a post by Natalia van Rikxoort for the Navigating ADHD blog [via World of Psychology]

Organize the kitchen. Clean out the garage. Get to the gym. Send out thank you cards. Meal prep for the week. Pay the bills. ADHDers often have lots they’d like to get done, but somehow their to-do lists never get any shorter. Why? Because simply deciding to do something isn’t enough. You need an action plan that includes the What, How, Where, When, Who, and Why for each task on your list.



Planning isn’t something that comes naturally for many people with ADHD.

How to allocate scare resources without discriminating against people with disabilities

an article by Tyler M. John, Joseph Millum and David Wasserman (Clinical Center Department of Bioethics, Bethesda, Maryland, USA) published in Economics & Philosophy Volume 33 Issue 2 (July 2017)

Abstract

One widely used method for allocating health care resources involves the use of cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) to rank treatments in terms of quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) gained. CEA has been criticized for discriminating against people with disabilities by valuing their lives less than those of non-disabled people. Avoiding discrimination seems to lead to the 'QALY trap': we cannot value saving lives equally and still value raising quality of life. This paper reviews existing responses to the QALY trap and argues that all are problematic. Instead, we argue that adopting a moderate form of prioritarianism avoids the QALY trap and disability discrimination.
