My fellow Americans, you're not in trouble at work. No one is mad at you. You're just anxious about the future of the nation.

A step we often skim over what trying to start is determining why the task matters to us. It usually obvious for the tasks we choose, but might not be when tasks are given to us by others. In which case, it's often worthwhile to take the time for figure it out.

People pleasing means feeling like you're only as good as the last time you did something for someone else, while simultaneously worrying that whatever you did wasn't enough.

One of the things I do to train my focus and attention is reading. I'm not picky about the kind of book that I use for this, I just make sure I schedule 20-30 minutes to read and then settle in. My current book is an autobiography. "The Gamemaster: Almost Famous in the Geek '80s" by Flint Dille

I keep seeing stuff about doing things before you're "ready". But they don't provide context on how to decide what to do before you're ready and what to make sure you're ready for before doing it. And little is said about risk. What do you think about being "ready" to do things?

How much of being late for you is based in resentment (of where you're going, how you have to get there, the person pushing yo to leave)?

We're told to chase happiness, but aren't told that it's temporary and made up of other positive emotions that are more lasting and more actionable - connection, accomplishment, engagement, being valued, feeling you've contributed to something. Those are things to pursue. Or, even better, create.

Societal expectations for home cleanliness often feel impossible for ADHD folks to meet. That's because they're unrealistic for everyone, too. 1/4

Forwarding an email chain without providing takeaways or a clear call to action is a great way to create corporate communication breakdowns even if ADHD isn't in them. But if it is, things are bound to go wrong. ADHD folks - develop the skill of reading those chains so you don't get bit by them.

I consulted on a student - 7th grade, autism, bad at reading social cues, keeps doing stuff to offend peers. My theory: Leaning into rejection and being disliked for over-the-top stuff is easier than being unsure about what you did wrong, and gets attention. Gave me a new lens on Musk's behavior.

I'm having the kind of week that undermines my ADHD something fierce. It was filled with disruptions to my usual routines, and came close enough to the disruptions of the holidays to pack an extra punch. Since it also undermined my efforts to get back on pace overall. 1/7

I've been contacted by an organization that apparently thinks I'm cool enough to make a Wikipedia page for me (for a fee, of course). So I've got that going for me.
