the best time for me to clean is when i feel pisse the best time for me to clean is when i feel pissed off enough to do it. šŸ˜… rage cleaning works because the energy has to go somewhere. but if i just start cleaning without a plan, i end up in two traps: getting distracted by my own visual to do list, or stuck in decision fatigue on stuff i donā€™t know what to do with. so before i touch anything, i make a quick list. things that have a place go first, thatā€™s the easy win. everything else waits. nine times out of ten, twenty minutes later the mess is gone, even if the to do list pile is still sitting there. tell me in the comments, are you a rage cleaner too? #adhdwomen #declutteringtips #executivefunction
šŸ§  what does growth with ADHD actually look like? šŸ§  what does growth with ADHD actually look like? for me, itā€™s not about never falling into old patterns. itā€™s about noticing when youā€™re caught in an ADHD trap faster and adjusting without the inner critic, the shame spiral, the drama. I quit the 40-day yap challenge after just 1 week, and hereā€™s why Iā€™m okay with that: ā€¢ caught myself neglecting my wellness habits in favor of posting daily ā€¢ realized daily posting was never actually my goal ā€¢ 7 days was enough to build the muscle I wanted for making content quick note for anyone wondering if @jessijeanhome ā€˜s yap challenge is worth it, Iā€™ve done some content courses before, and sheā€™s providing the value that sheā€™s promised and then some. completely worth a $300 investment if youā€™re looking for inspiration and practical advice on yapping on social media. iā€™ll continue using her prompts and learning from her, but just not pushing myself to do daily yaps anymore and mix in other formats that have been calling to me. šŸ«¶šŸ» šŸ’¬ tell me in the comments: whatā€™s a pattern youā€™ve noticed yourself falling into that youā€™re ready to adjust? #adhdwomen #jjyapchallenge
šŸ› At the peak of my burnout and overwhelm, the Bat šŸ› At the peak of my burnout and overwhelm, the Bathtub Model of Stress was the mental model that *actually* made me believe that it was possible to feel like myself again. I think my visual brain appreciates the analogy. This model gave me a clear picture of what I needed to do to get out of the vicious cycle. šŸ”„This is Episode 2 of the Burnout Diaries. Follow along if youā€™re feeling burned out or need more structure in your life. I share one framework per episode to help you get out burnout. šŸ«¶šŸ» #burnout #burnoutrecovery #adhdwomen #jjyapchallenge
the perfect planner doesnā€™t exist, trust me, Iā€™ve the perfect planner doesnā€™t exist, trust me, Iā€™ve tried. šŸ˜… hereā€™s how my Type-A ADHD brain actually gets organized now. šŸ’¬ Tell me in the comments whatā€™s the most unhinged thing youā€™ve done or bought to try to get organized? #adhdwomen #showmeyourplanner #jjyapchallenge
For anyone sitting on an ADHD diagnosis and not su For anyone sitting on an ADHD diagnosis and not sure who to tell. The honest answer is it depends on your workplace. Google has a lot of ERGs like ADHD Womenā€™s groups, and I felt safe with my manager so I told them. But I was careful beyond that. Because the reality is there are biases around ADHD. People are uneducated, and Iā€™ve heard enough stories from other ADHDers at Google to know it doesnā€™t always go the way you hope. Even toward the end I still sometimes worried. What if people found out and used it against me. Thereā€™s both an external bias and an internal one youā€™re quietly working through at the same time. I feel comfortable sharing more openly now. Partly because Iā€™ve done a lot of healing. And partly because I donā€™t have coworkers anymore šŸ˜… Iā€™m a safe space. DMs are always open. šŸ¤ #adhdwomen #adultadhd #jjyapchallenge
Undiagnosed ADHD: the struggle is real. šŸ™ƒ Before Undiagnosed ADHD: the struggle is real. šŸ™ƒ Before my ADHD diagnosis at 34, I genuinely thought I was just bad at being an adult. I even went to therapy about it, only we never determined I was struggling with ADHD. I just thought adulting sucked. The trash room, the laundry chair, the pantry disaster, the planner graveyard. I kept waiting for the day I would finally getšŸ‘šŸ» it šŸ‘šŸ» togetheršŸ‘šŸ». Turns out, my brain just works differently. What a relief to finally have an answer to the question ā€œWhat is wrong with me?!ā€ These arenā€™t character flaws or my *chaotic* personality. Theyā€™re executive function challenges. Task initiation, working memory, follow-through. Things my brain genuinely struggles with for biological reasons. Knowing that doesnā€™t magically clean my trash room. But it does mean I can stop spending energy feel frustrated with myself and start figuring out systems actually works for my brain. If any of these hit a little too close to home, tell me in the comments. Having ADHD is less scary than you may think. #adhdwomen #adultingishard #jjyapchallenge
