Overthinking the small things, particularly when it comes to my 📆 calendar. This leads to avoidance and 3am anxiety

Unbidden Bids for Attention
Does anyone else struggle and feel incredibly irritable about the insane amount of email and text creep in the world? I just had a very basic medical procedure and received EIGHT emails and as many text messages about it. They sent me so many calendar invites that I was actually late because nothing lined up correctly and I just took a stab at the right time. At this point I just try not engage, but I swear every email and text is a chip at me and I can't stop people from doing it.

Yes, it's crazy how easy it is to miss the important stuff with so much junk all the time. Congratulations Mike on cleaning your inbox, even if it feels fleeting it is an impressive accomplishment! :) Has anyone been really effective with unsubscribing?

ADHD and honesty - 🎉Hooray new content!🎉
➡️ Find our newest video on ADHD and honesty here! ⬅️ Sam and Ian went for a walk in the hills above Encinitas — very California 😎 — and ended up having one of their more honest conversations. Which felt appropriate, given the topic; honesty. Honesty in two kinds - the tricky ADHD kind where you say "yes I'll have that report to you by Friday" and fully believe when you say it. And the even harder kind; honesty with yourself. About where you actually are, what you actually have capacity for, how long things actually take, and why the gap between your intentions and your actions keeps showing up in ways that confuse and exhaust the people around you — and you. For us, its the most important thing to get right. If you have ADHD and you don't understand your relationship with honesty, everything else you try to build, the systems, the plans, the goals, the relationships, will sit on an unstable foundation. Put it on, podcast style, while you're driving, cooking, folding laundry, or doing anything else that keeps your hands busy but leaves your ears free. Don't feel bad about the multi-tasking, for a lot of ADHD brains, it's actually the optimal listening condition. Or if a 25-minute video feels like too much of a commitment right now, we've chopped it into five-minute segments that you can drop in and out of. Same conversation, smaller bites. Start anywhere.

Thank you for sharing Alicia and great response Sam :). You are definitely not alone on that impulse to express our feelings and anxiety response with out pausing. I think that is where being "honest" with our selves can become even more powerful when reflecting on these scenarios we experience honestly to lead towards an opportunity for growth. The statement you made "I find that I can come off as being very rigid about what I'm comfortable with or I have a vision of perfection that reality can never match and I get disappointed and then my energy can have a negative affect on others" is leading towards being honest about the challenge where facing to be able to grow from. Let's do a quick exercise... imagine you could go back in time... And you could guide yourself through this situation... How would you have liked to have responded to this situation? What would have left you feeling good about how you handled this uncomfortable situation?
