Just did the first part of my Operating Manual and realised the problem was never my discipline - it was the mismatch. Every app and planner I ever tried started at the action level while the belief underneath stayed untouched, which is exactly why none of them lasted more than a couple of weeks. Even my snack drawer has been making my choices for me.

Just did the first part of my Operating Manual and finally saw it: the problem was never that I "can't focus or think or talk," it's that I've been graded on the one channel that fails me while my real door - saying things out loud - was open the whole time. Even spotted how my phone hijacks my best learning by pointing it at a screen instead of at Korean.

Woke up at 6:30am, outside for some grounding and quick meditation/Breathwork. My book proof came in on Friday. I am so glad I got a proof because I saw several changes that I wanted to make and believe that it will be "live" by this afternoon...I am going to set my goal for 3pm today! My fingers are crossed!!! Hope everyone is having an amazing day!

I have not been formerly diagnosed as couldn’t get appointments. I have always felt different and never fitted in. Looking forward to how I can turn my neurodivergence into a positive and learn to work with it.
