I'm diagnosed ADHD predominantly inattentive, and I am supremely distractible, and my focus bounces like a bad check.
I would like to give you my history with my own focus and the process of becoming cool with myself about being distracted.

Is it wrong to be oppositional? I feel passionately oppositional sometimes! Or could it be that our inner compass is telling us we are not in alignment with something? I'll share my journey and thoughts about my leaving social media.
Let's also talk about why the answer to getting past the tension of a crappy task isn't to figure out how to make the task have less tension. It might not even be to make the task more fun. It might very well be looking at elevating the tension elsewhere! Let's discuss!
