On mornings I have energy, I burn it touching everything. Email, lists, half finished tasks, a bit of scrolling.

I’ve figured out a way to increase the global IQ average.
Just round up everyone who replied @highlight on these engagement bait Facebook posts and we’d increase it by at least 20pts.

My old ADHD visibility plan:
3 polished resumes.
2 rebrands.
1 massive identity crisis.
Nothing stuck.
Then I stopped rewriting and started aligning.
Same story.
Everywhere.
Finally got seen.
Turns out cohesion was the confidence all along.

Quit a six-figure job for “freedom.”
Now I celebrate small wins like:
☑ remembering lunch
☑ inbox = zero (exactly once)
☑ didn’t talk to myself out loud much
Living the dream, apparently.

Spoke up instead.

ADHD burnout isn’t chaos.
It’s that moment you open your laptop
and suddenly need to reorganize your sock drawer.
Forget motivation.
Do one small thing, get one tiny win,

Your ADHD brain was built for novelty.
The job search was built to kill it.
It rewards the wrong things:
— Slow progress
— Repetition
— Silence
Momentum dies when systems forget to reward the boring.
Keep your loops short.
Proof beats pressure.

If I apply to 100 jobs at once, I’ll definitely feel productive while avoiding all of them equally.
Structure fixed that.
Still overthink, just… with folders now.

Then ignore them like it’s my job.
Turns out, the hardest part isn’t starting.
It’s remembering I already started.
