Hi, #NeurodiverseSquad! I make YouTube videos about my experiences with ADHD… usually while procrastinating something else. ✍️ Blog:

the ADHD urge to start boiling water and come back to find an empty pot

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

Looks like someone needs to get sh*t done when he doesn’t feel like it.

My superpower? Losing my keys right when I need to leave the house. Every. Single. Time.

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

Wake up at 5:30am to knock out some housework before logging into work this morning…

8am rolls around and now I’m tired from the house work and need a nap

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

@elonmusk What is free speech?

I feel like it goes along with the question…What is Art?

Is it how an individual defines it? Or is there just 0 consequences for what someone says?

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

@elmforkJBGC Can you publish any social accounts from the people that aggregated the list? I can’t find any info on them other than a linkdin page that has 112 connections.

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

@danidonovan Why you gotta tweet this right when I’m starting an overly ambitious project!?

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

Ain’t it the fucking truth!

the ADHD urge to turn a small task into an overly-ambitious project, only to get so overwhelmed/intimidated by the massive undertaking that you abandon it and never return

[Monthly Hustle @monthlyhustle]

I heard a quote once that is probably one of the single most useful things anyone has ever said to me.

"Pay attention to what you pay attention to"

I took that to heart and still use it to this day to get rid of unneeded distractions.

Since I’ve just been laid off and have the energy and time during the day , I want to put more focus in content creation while I’m on the job hunt.

Now to just come up with a premise that makes me stand out from the crowd.

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

I know we hear these same things a lot but broken down into simple terms like these really help.

It’s the small steps each time you try that help you improve.

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

It’s the best thing I’ve seen at a conference. Sometimes you need somewhere to escape if crowds are overwhelming.

[Dani Donovan 👩🏻‍🎨 ADHD Comics @danidonovan]

Noisy auditory environments can get overstimulating, especially if you’re neurodivergent.

Mad props to the #INBOUND22 conference for providing a “quiet room” at for people (like me) who aren’t used to having accommodations for sensory overwhelm 💖

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

@FrankMcG @AmyPearlman I’d be stressed if everyone was mad at me all of the time too.

In my experience things are demanded be done by security teams without prior conversations with other teams on prerequisites. Will this work with a current implementation, or cause an outage? Investigation is Key.

[Dani Donovan 👩🏻‍🎨 ADHD Comics @danidonovan]

I'm super-stoked to attend @HubSpot's #INBOUND22 conference in Boston, Sept. 7-9!

This is the first year there's a virtual option if you can't make it to the in-person event.

PS. Can we talk about the speakers lineup? 😍

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

In order to focus it requires extreme amounts of sensory deprivation just to stay on task.

📵No Phone
🤫No Sound (noise canceling headphones)
🚷No People
❗️No notifications
🚫No Social Media

If I don’t do these things I sit and spiral with negative self talk.

#ADHD

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

I keep forgetting to post each day but I am on day 4 of #100DaysOfCode

I’ve only made it to Day 5 in the past because you know life and #ADHD novelty wears off

I get a #MagicTheGathering deck every 25 days. New computer if I make it 100 days.

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

I just made TikToks and uploaded old YouTube videos instead of studying for a test…

Maybe I can get focused now?

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

I mentioned before I’m going to record my many ideas as I attempt to chase them down.

#1 is completing #100DaysOfCode Code using Python.

I’m not trying to teach but explain what I’m doing in the video.

[Dani Donovan 👩🏻‍🎨 ADHD Comics @danidonovan]

Productivity anxiety/avoidance is a vicious cycle I’ve been trapped in more times than I can count.

Anyone else feel the same? #ADHD

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

I spend my own personal time and money trying to fit in… all I’m asking for is noise-canceling headphones.

[BrainFog @BrainFog8]

My #ADHD feels like I have to constantly accommodate everyone around me to fit this mold of “normal”

…but the second I ask for something that’ll help me, I’m being “unreasonable.”
