📅 Daily Check-in - August 15, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Second day on the trot that my youngest has gone to school happy. He was going to be a marshall for the school cross country - but the heavy rain put paid to that! He still had a fantastic day and he had his enrolment interview at the high school. The interviewer was quite understanding about his ADHD and mulitple head injuries that he's still recovering from. They can't offer any additional support so we're still stuck on the same record track. But that's ok. He's positive and that's the most important thing. I spent the evening at White Cross with my eldest. Football training was futsal which is hard on his body. I told the coaches a white lie (talk about double standards from me!) and took him to get his leg looked at. Long story short - he was taken out at a tournament in Christchurch and his leg has been bothersome ever since. No fractures which is a relief. But because it's on the bony part of the shin, they suspect he's bruised it badly and it's not getting a chance to recover. When we said that he's going to Australia for a tournament in a month, the doctor felt that it was too soon but he wasn't going to tell my son to stop playing football. So he's still going - he wants to go. Fingers crossed his leg holds out. As for me personally? I managed to finally get back onto my paid work. I started untangling a couple of things - well it's more understanding than untangling. It's was wonderful to have that time to do it at last. I felt positive all day. I even managed a 1min cold shower for the first time - wahoo!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 7/10 ⚡ Energy: 7/10 🎯 Focus: 7/10 😌 Calmness: 7/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 6/10 🔥 Motivation: 7/10 ⭐ Average: 6.8/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 🥦 Ate Vegetables 🍳 Home Cooked Meal 👥 Quality Time 🍽️ No Phone at Dinner 👂 Active Listening

It's only taken me 5 days and sever nudges from Jim to get started. Can we say ADHD procrastination in full force? Sheesh! I came across this from an ad on facebook and it spoke to me. I'm here to hopefully find out what keeps me from not fulfilling things I start and help me understand how to power through it and make some real change in my life. I've had a vision of the man I want to be for a long time. It wasn't until about 2 years ago that I started becoming aware that I was different from the people I surround myself with. Have done all kinds of programs, coaching, groups, plans to help me become disciplined, a better husband, father, business owner and nothing has worked for me.

📅 Daily Check-in - August 12, 2026 💭 Reflection: "nothing much to say tonight. I'm tired, I have to wake up at 5:10-5:15. It's 10:00pm now. I hope to be in bed soon. Having a quick snack until I'm cut off until after surgery. Well, I can have clear liquids from 12:00am to 4:30am, but I'd rather be sleeping. I know, I've been repetitive. I still haven't used JT other than this check in. I need to get motivated again to do it. I just don't have it right now. I've been working with ChatGPT a lot lately, but not as I would JT. I just go down a rabbit hole and engage in a conversation. No limits. Also, not a real person. I tend to still lack in my interpersonal skills. Text - Check; Email - Check; Phone - half check; In-Person - I'd rather not be anywhere will this will happen. However, this is unavoidable, and so I pull up my big boy pants and force myself to socialize, a little I said this was going to be short. I was wrong. I usually am. Why change now?

I think we sometimes dismiss ADHD wins because they look ridiculously ordinary from the outside. Made the phone call. Opened the mail. Put the laundry away. Answered the email. Scheduled the appointment. But if something has generated days of resistance, completing it isn’t small just because another person finds it easy. It IS a win! What seemingly tiny thing have you done recently that deserves more credit than you gave it? For me, it was trying to get back on here more regularly. If I log in? Or do a check in, that’s a small win for me.

📅 Daily Check-in - August 14, 2026 💭 Reflection: "Well yesterday blew me away. My youngest went to school quite happy. He had a high protein wrap for breakfast and was all ready to go while I still struggled getting the eldest motivated to get out of bed (typical teenager!). It was so refreshing after such a tough week to date. I was able to have a work meeting to discuss progress (or lack of in my case!). My drivers licence is due for renewal and I've completed the form so now I just need to go in and do the eyesight test, pay the fee etc. I've enrolled my youngest for High School next year. We have the enrolment interview later this afternoon. I'm particularly focused on how they plan to support him through his learning journey. I had a rough night with hubby being controlling and taking things away from me but I went to bed, listened and fell asleep to Yoga Nidra, and woke up really refreshed this morning, ready for Jim's live Q&A. And it was a great session too! I love the Q&As as they help keep me on track. Something I need a lot of lately!" 📊 Wellbeing Scores: 😊 Happiness: 7/10 ⚡ Energy: 7/10 🎯 Focus: 7/10 😌 Calmness: 7/10 🌙 Sleep Quality: 7/10 🔥 Motivation: 7/10 ⭐ Average: 7/10 ✅ Activities from yesterday: 💧 Stayed Hydrated 🥗 Healthy Eating 🍺 No Alcohol ☕ No Late Caffeine 🥩 Hit Protein Goal 🥦 Ate Vegetables 🍳 Home Cooked Meal 🎯 Deep Work 📚 Reading 🧠 Learning 🎓 Online Course 🎸 Skill Practice 👥 Quality Time 🤝 Helped Someone 🍽️ No Phone at Dinner 👂 Active Listening
