It's June, and it’s conference season! Next week, I am attending Atomicon in Newcastle. I’m also recording many more episodes for my two podcasts.
But I am pausing both podcasts this month, but I will return in July with fresh episodes with Smart ADHD Stories and expert episodes
Hope you don’t mind, but consistency for consistency’s sake is not a good strategy. Taking breaks is crucial for maintaining energy, quality content, and avoiding burnout.
