Passing Notes EP 2: Flirting With Deadlines & The Hard Side Of Hyper-fixation
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit jennaknapp.substack.com
Hey, hey! Good news — I survived the vulnerability hangover that washed over me after I pressed publish on Passing Note’s first episode two weeks ago. Not only did I survive, I had some really wonderful conversations about queerness, psychics, and the current political climate of the world with a few of you ❤️
It all made me want to keep going, to keep sharing, to keep getting vulnerable. Because that’s where the gold is. When we say the scary things out loud, we create space for other people to say their own scary things out loud.
In this second episode of Passing Notes, I’m diving deep into what it’s like to go after big creative hands-on projects (like designing, printing, and hand binding 286 page planners) while living with ADHD.
So often the internet seems to cope with ADHD as something that is cute or funny. I participate because humor helps everything, but lately I’ve been feeling the weight of my ADHD differently while navigating year three of producing my self-love annual planners.
BTS!!! Sneak peek!!!! 2025 DSWL Planners drop in the shop this Saturday!
Last night I recorded my second Passing Notes Podcast episode about how my time perception challenges and hyper-fixation negatively impact me and my nervous system when pushing to finish big creative projects like this.
It’s not cute. It’s really really hard.
I LOVE this project. It means so much to me to have enough people interested in purchasing year after year. It means so much to me that I get to keep going. A part of me hesitated recording this because I don’t want people to think I don’t love creating the planners. Isn’t that silly?
I’m pressing publish because I think it’s a really important conversation to have — to talk about loving something and having a hard time with it too. The internet does a very good job of making us believe that if we are doing something we love, it shouldn’t be hard. I call BS!
I’m passionate about having this conversation with others who may also belittle the bigness of their own projects and how major it is to cross the finish line as a person living with ADHD 🏁
I want to celebrate you. I want to celebrate me. I want to celebrate US!
We’re making magic against all odds.
This is your reminder to give yourself grace if you also experience difficulty with the creative process, or deadlines. Let’s normalize how natural it is to feel all these complex big feelings at once. YOU are birthing ideas into the world out of thin air. YOU are making something that never existed before.
That’s pretty f*****g phenomenal.
With Love,
Jenna
