I used to think journaling just “wasn’t my thing.” Not because I didn’t like reflection, I’ve always been a reflective person only it lived in my head, and every time I opened a notebook, I froze. I just didn’t know what to write about. The blank pages always seemed to interrogate me in a way lol. Everything changed when the fire nation attacked.... LOL I couldn't resist 🔥 Everything changed when I found prompts that actually flipped a switch in me. The kind that jump straight past thinking and into the body. That was the turning point. Once the right questions were there, journaling stopped feeling like a chore and started feeling like a conversation, with myself and with my body. And honestly, I have AI to thank for accelerating that. Having something that can generate, refine, and adapt prompts to where I’m actually at has made journaling a daily anchor instead of a “someday habit." Shoutout to @Frank Palomino for planting the seed by asking me a simple question today: “What’s your favorite journal prompt?” So now I’m curious 👇What’s a journaling prompt that genuinely opened something up for you? Looking to take a step away from the machine and hear what the hoomans have to offer hehe

[Edit I recently posted this in another forum about using Google Calendar / Tasks, Bill asked me to post here, hope you find some useful strategies to deal with those appointments and tasks that just seem to whoosh by] Back in the day I was a programmer. I was all about 'doing' tasks / bug fixing and avoided meetings like the plague. Meetings just got in the way of the tasks assigned to me. Back then I was a 'Maker'. Today I'm more of a 'Manager', I have to manage a team to move the company forward. But as a small business owner I kind of have one foot in both sides. This is something I've struggled a bit when using the Calendar. In addition I also have a separate Calendar to track Projects inside our Project Management Tool. This goes against the 'everything in one place' concept that Ali teaches. The Team mostly uses the PM Tool but there is stuff assigned to me on the PM Calendar and some of this has been falling through the cracks since I've been hanging out more in Google Calendar / Tasks. Interested to hear if anyone else struggles with this? Below is how I am currently dealing with wearing the two hats. - I integrated our PMTool with the Google Calendar / Tasks so I everything is now in one place. - I blocked out Mondays and Wed + Thur 7-11 am for Doing Tasks. No meetings can be booked in these slots. And for the 7-11am sessions and I have my phone off and 'focus mode' on. - I only have one team meeting a week. And one development meeting and make sure I have a clear agenda before the meeting. I put bullet points in the Google Meeting notes. - When I'm in Task mode I hit the Focus button my Chromebook, I can then select the task I'm working on and set the 'do not disturb' time, so no notifications / tasks pop up to distract me. - I also use focus mode during meetings, to stop all the message pop ups. - The team also now have visibly of my calendar so they know when I'm free. Most have been with me for 8 years, no secrets.. - I use Events to 'time block' similar tasks. e.g. Tax, but then drag in the related tasks to do in that block. Often I end up dragging these over, but at least they don't get lost. - Every month I still go old school and divide up an A4 sheet of paper with the 8 core parts of the business and place the priorities in side those boxes. It's a mix of Company / Product / Client focused stuff. I like to have main 'goals / needle movers' all on one page, which just sits on my desk so I can glance at it. The process of writing it out really makes me think about what's important and keeps me on track.

Morning all, I don't know if this I new thing or been about for years and I've just not seen it. Saw something on another platform about 8d audio and benefits for people with adhd so decided to have a listen. It is incredible. Best way I can describe it is you don't just hear the music, it totally fills your head. I have issues with brain chatter, I can't relax as my brain just does not stop. When listening to 8d it fills my head so much there simply doesn't seem room for the chatter. I have never felt so relaxed. Have any of you lovely people tried this and has it helped in any way?

I am in the process of publishing a book but, In creating this book I have a challenge of creating a clear and aligned title for it... I have narrowed it down a bit but would love your input. Which title carched your attention most? and does it feel clear on purpose? Or do you have a completely different line of feedback? Ok, listened to advice so far and refined: How do we feel about "True Capacity: Stop Forcing. Start Regulating. Get Shit Done."

I just sat down with @Amber Kay, a single AuDHD mom of 3 and member of the Focus Founders Accelerator, to talk about how she: - Quit her 9-5 and went full-time as an entrepreneur - Made $1,600 more in the first month of launching her business than she ever did working her job - All while working the same or fewer hours - With zero experience running a business Amber shares how she followed a voice inside her head that saved her life, signed a contract with herself to make the transition, fought self-doubt and perfectionism, and MADE. IT. HAPPEN! She is such a badass human being and a wonderful soul. I watched this woman buy a homeless man a sandwich when she could barely afford one for herself. I'm so honored to give this woman the credit and spotlight she deserves, and to be helping her build her dream life one brick at a time! 👉 Join the Accelerator waitlist here to be notified when it reopens.
