The only skill that matters
Funny… I moved into my new home yesterday. This morning, as I was unpacking my office to get ready for the work day, I stumbled upon an old box of books from many years ago. I used to be a very avid reader, and with this new home I figured what the hell… I want to pick up my reading habit and shift into the identity of a reader again. So I open one of my many boxes of books to see what I had inside. The very first book? The only skill that matters by Jonathan Levi. A book about learning to become a “super learner”. Speed reading. Memory enhancements. Learning how to learn. Funny how the universe works like that sometimes. I don’t think there’s a single book in my entire collection that makes more sense for me to read first than this one.

Sparks, Spreadsheets & Second Businesses
Who are you and what do you do? Hey there! I’m Amrita 👋🏽 By day, I’m a Well-Being & Belonging Leader in healthcare. On purpose, I’m a career and life transitions coach supporting people through growth, reinvention, and building what’s next. And for fun (and probably dopamine), I’m a metal artist. Yes… sparks, color, and spreadsheets. We contain multitudes. Why were you interested in joining this group? I’m relatively new to Skool and currently building my second business - which means I’m juggling big vision, big feelings, and approximately 95 open tabs. I joined to connect with other ADHD founders who get it - the creativity, the intensity, the overwhelm, and the brilliance. I’m especially interested in building something sustainable without losing the spark. Excited to learn, contribute, and grow alongside you all. 💜 What’s your biggest challenge right now? In true ADHD style - having 35 brilliant ideas before noon and being personally offended I can’t execute all of them by 6pm. 🙃 Time blindness has me thinking I can fit a week’s worth of work into a Tuesday. I’m supported by amazing people, but the real growth edge is prioritizing, focusing, and doing less - better. Apparently restraint is part of entrepreneurship. Who knew?

Productivity vs Time
How many of you work in 'normal' 9-5 working hours? Does that mean that when the clock hits 5pm your brain switches off and all creativity stops? We live in a world where productivity is defined by how much time and energy to put into something, even if it means you're burning out. This is where ADHD really shines as a super power. Many of us work in irregular times-I personally get sparks of creativity just as I start preparing for bed. Why is that? Because my brain has less pressure and distractions as the night slowly quiets. It has taken a while for me to unlearn that when these boosts of creativity hit, I must follow them. It's in fact the energy that I was pushing the whole day that now has the space to speak and be heard. Don't get me wrong, that doesn't mean getting out of bed and 'burning the midnight oil', your body and brain still need the rest. But just like Rick Rubin says, use the energy whenever it comes and follow it until you feel satisfied. You can dive into the details behind the creativity in your 'normal' work day, but don't force yourself to sleep when you're getting fuelled with great ideas before bed. There is so much more I can say on this, but let's use the comments to discuss further x
Proximity Is Power
My community is my rock. Their energy steadies me, sharpens me, and reminds me who I am and who I am becoming. When we co-work together, train together, speak of the future and plan accordingly something in me is set ablaze. It's fuckin invigorating! I do not have to force motivation. It finds me. Something I was blessed to learn 7 months ago and as clear as ever now is that I am not meant to build alone. My nervous system regulates in proximity to aligned humans. Their presence expands my capacity, and in that expansion I execute. When I invest in community, I am investing in my own momentum.
🔥 When Fast Thinking Looks Like Chaos But Isn’t
Someone recently asked "how do you expect to get results, or get anything done, without a framework or clear focus ?" I get that in their world, that’s a fair question, but in mine, it triggered two things at once. First, I got that sharp internal RSD flicker. The familiar link to failure, shame and the internal jackass voice of “Maybe they’re right.” Now, for some reason, I remember that it linked to a word, and the word that had subliminally been associated was “destruction”. But then, that word lit another fuse. ⚡️ And it spread fast. 💥 Destruction became fire. > Fire became arsonist, then firefighter. > Then whack-a-mole. > Then Fix-It Felix jumping around with a hammer. > That landed on Wreck-It Ralph. All in seconds. From a neurotypical lens, that kind of jump can look scattered. Unfocused. Lacking clarity. But in a neurodivergent mind, it’s pattern recognition running at speed. It’s seeing the consequence and reaction at the same time. It’s mapping disruption and containment in one sweep. The problem isn’t intensity. It’s translation. Without structure, fast thinking looks like chaos, but with structure, it becomes strategy. Not all nonlinear thinking is lack of focus. Sometimes it’s simply uncontained capability, and when that's directed well, that capability produces outstanding results. Agree?
