as an AUDHD person, switching tasks is hard for me, I relate to what you were saying a lot. I have to have like good focus for several hours to really get good writing done on a single story. I know some people who write all different things at once, but most of them do not have ADHD.
The bathroom is a beautiful quiet place x
@@EmmaBennetAuthor When raising our kids, we always taught them that a bathroom is a private place. So if someone was behind a bathroom door, you were NOT to knock and bother them, unless the house was on fire or if you were bleeding. Best decision we ever made! Many quiet chapters have been read from the side of that bath tub while seeking refuge!
@NicoleFordThomas that's awesome!
I have HARD ADHD, and task switching only works for me when I’m following the actual movement of the muse.
I do better when I allow the hyper focus to flow.
I’ve never drafted an outline. I’m an intuitive pantser alllll the way. Maybe plotting and outlining will work for me some day, but that day has not yet come. My brain simply doesn’t work that way.
Let that tingle in your tummy be your guide.
Follow your bliss, follow your excitement.
You got this. ❤️
I will never understand how people don’t see ADHD as a disability. Let’s see them overdose on caffeine and then try to thread a needle, because mentally, that’s exactly what it’s like. Task switching is like trying to do all that while ALSO jumping on a trampoline. 😅
@@NicoleFordThomas It's only a disability when people expect everyone to accomplish the exact same tasks in the exact same timing and manner. "Disability" implies an inability to accomplish xyz. But when we shift our expectations about the how/when/where/why of a desired outcome, we start seeing that the paths to what we want are seldom thrones with all the road signs.
We might take the meandering path. The bizarrely parkoured shortcut, or we may learn how to fold time and space and realize that points A and B exist in the same here and now and all we have to do is shift the thing within us that determines our relation to space time.
It's not a disability, unless you are trying ti do things in a way that you are not built or intended to do ithem.
Focus on the desired outcome, and let your natural ABILITIES show you the best way to achieve them FOR YOU.
"Task switching" sounds like a terrible idea, no matter how you are. LOL
@@MIchaelDawnBrooks Yes, exactly! I can do okay with task switching in all ways but creative, it seems. LOL
I’ve reverted to stopping myself of this task switching altogether this week. I swear we are in sync with this topic. Lol ❤
One, single, task only.
The struggle 😂🎉
@@RitaSlanina Yep! I don’t know why this didn’t occur to me when I realized sprints don’t work for me. Like, duh. Pick one lane, Nicole. Don’t stop until it’s done. 🤣
