Looking for new posts…
This is always the goal.
And even though it's an unrealistic expectation, I still feel like I "failed at my hobby" if I'm not immediately perfect and successful 😬

If I do, what kinds of topics would you guys want me to cover?
Doesn't necessarily have to be ADHD-only! (e.g., parenting, emotions, sleep, psychology, medication, executive functioning, etc.) I'm a scientist at heart, so I always focus on research for my sources!

Seriously considering getting back into making ADHD videos again on YouTube, given the rise of AI slop and content that only caters to algorithms. We're in desperate need of more authentic content with valuable information... and I think I'm capable of that... 🤔

Why is it still legal for companies to give 8-hour time windows?? 😭 It is 2026.
"Someone will be at your house between 8 and 4" = stuck in waiting mode all day and nothing will get done.

What helps?
- External structure: deadlines, accountability, visible task lists
- Limiting options before deciding
- Converting abstract plans into concrete steps right away
- Separating “thinking time” from “doing time”
- Treating anxiety signals as data, not decision-makers

Motivation:
- Interest-driven (ADHD) + challenge-driven (IQ)

- Cycle: high standards → pressure → avoidance → last-minute push

Decision-making:

What each one means on its own (at a very basic level):
- High IQ: fast pattern recognition, abstraction

How it feels internally:
- Rapid idea generation + poor filtering = all the mental noise
- Multiple solutions appear instantly; none feel settled
- Anxiety fills any gaps with worst-case predictions
- “I see/notice everything!” but also “Why can’t I just pin ONE thing down?”
