self care
A lot of maxims, truisms, corollaries, and such got left on the metaphorical cutting room floor. In the interest of completeness and inclusion, here are some of the related phenomena that have epitomized my experience of ADHD:
papermancy
The TL;DR for those who are not quite as brain nerdy is that between taking notes by typing, writing notes on a tablet, or making notes in a physical notebook, the most brain activity (related to comprehension and retention) came from good old dead-tree-and-ink.
focus
In a perfect world, you wouldn’t need an excuse. The poet Toi Derricotte’s told us already: “joy is an act of resistance” and Mari Kondo said that things that spark joy are worth keeping, so if picking up that Oasis notebook from ProFolio makes that dopamine flow, more power to ya!
