I stopped living by expectations and found clarity through values. Now on a journey to help more people become aligned with their true selves.

@NaturalMVMT I agree, even with the Darth Maul vibes it feels chill. Whats your favourite move?

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@FlufffyMonkey Did it need many changes?

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@x_rachit_ Welcome Rachit, where do you think your struggle is with this?

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@WhatTheADHD Fun fact, I heard that bird noise calms our nervous system. Silence means the birds are scared of a predator in the forest and our primitive system kicks in!

@StructuredSucc Our brain learns this, sometimes without awareness, so we end up changing how we approach every task to get some novelty and interest.
Before being diagnosed, I wondered why I would start a project with a system redesign. it was to find novelty and interest from this boring job.

@DavidBowieGlam I must be only one who likes Remastered, just feel the original is too blown out.

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@ADHDdesigner Getting to the end of the day and being stressed, despite having done nothing.

This is why I love holidays, its like a line in the sand to forget about the rest of the to do list.

Then overcommit during a period of stress free living and start the cycle again ;)

@FlufffyMonkey Congrats, well deserved!

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@JossBiggins Not about your sexiness.

@rahul23_4 Find someone you can work alongside, I do a weekly cleaning sprint (I hate cleaning) but because I clean while on a call with others I can get it done. I save body doubling for the hard but important stuff, planning, cleaning, working out and deep work (focus).

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@FlufffyMonkey These are great, the 2 minute rule is especially true. If I add a short task to the to do list it is never happening.

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@get_inflow every 6 months I would look ta a big change. Now I only envision 3 months ahead and plan weeks, keeps time more short term.

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@ADHDForReal this one is too real, literally looking at my pile of abandoned hobbies as I type.

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@ADHDdesigner Heard this described as the 'Night Watchmen theory', that its evolutionary to have a member of a group/tribe with a different circadian rhythm.

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@AdultingADHD Totally agree job applications suck, I've just started using a custom GPT that has my resume and cover letter and I upload the job description and ask it to rewrite. It removes a lot of friction for me. Now I just need to stop applying for jobs.

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@ADHDForReal It can be a problem for me, I forgive/forget someone and they do the same thing to me again.

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@Pam_Rubin1 First one I made was just a playlist of my knowledge, completly useless other than to my ego. Always be clear what the zero to hero outcome is for any course and cut anything not relevant, or add as bonus content.

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@coachcamg Hey Cameron, I've had the same thought. But how do we make people aware, I think get that attention first for something helpful, otherwise the attention is one something even less helpful on socials.

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@FlufffyMonkey This I feel, that pain is so crushing. I just wish we could go give that version a hug and sit with them when they are in pain.

[John Clayton @Valuedactionman]

@carenmagill Too often we compare ourselves where we should be, look at the gap and the horizon. Lets measure progress always, small steps repeated.
