Executive dysfunction is my nemesis, but now I run the show (mostly). Learning to rewire my ADHD brain with books and taking action even when it's scary.

I put the ‘pro’ in procrastination today. Tomorrow I’ll be much less professional. One «bad» day doesn’t mean it’ll be a bad week.

I've been using Loop earplugs for a week, and here's my verdict. For many neurodivergent individuals with sensory issues, they could be life-changing. For others, these plugs might simply enhance their sensitivity. 🧵 Here's what I mean:

If you don’t realise you’re meant to thrive elsewhere, you might spend your whole life thinking you just need to try harder. "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." —Albert Einstein

When you unlock God Mode at 3 a.m. but can’t even find the start button during office hours.

Just saw Wicked, and I’m so emotional I can barely type through the tears… of disbelief that people can’t hold it for 2 hours and 40 minutes. Bladder training, folks—it’s a thing! But also tears because so many saw their own struggles in the story. People hugged after. No wonder it hit so hard.

ADHD taught me this: Support and acceptance feel good in the moment. But solutions? They’re what feel good in life. Understanding is the first step — going from “I can’t” to “I’ll find another way” is the real game-changer 💡 📚 Reading daily was my first win. Turning knowledge into action is next.

A few years ago, I couldn't finish a page. I hated feeling ignorant, so I experimented—formats, genres, focus hacks. It was hard, but it got easier. 991 days ago, I started a streak: 45 minutes of reading every day, no excuses. It changed how I saw my brain: not broken, just wired differently.

Having ADHD isn’t a get-out-of-jail-free card. Statistically, it’s more like a how-I-ended-up-in-jail card. The good news? We’re not doomed. Learning self-regulation starts with grace—not guilt. One pause, one choice at a time. It’s not easy, but neither is jail.

At 10PM I gave up cleaning the kitchen because sleep is important. At 3AM I’m in bed thinking up ways to solve the climate crisis. Sometimes my wind down routine just winds me up.

Being able to think critically is such an attractive trait. Forming your own genuine thoughts and opinions is truly beautiful.

Your excuses can dress up as good reasons. “You don’t know what you don’t know” is a reason to research—but also an excuse to avoid action. Think of the song "Bad Guy": I can’t recite the lyrics, but when the song plays? I know every word. “You don’t know what you *know*—until you just do it.”
