If your focus had a spirit animal, what would yours be today? Pick your animal… then share one real thing that helps you shift from scattered to focused. (October call-back😎) Because behind the humor focus isn’t about control, it’s about remembering what brings you back to yourself. 💫

I’m Mel 🌱 I’m a doctor specialized in neuroscience and health education, and I’m neurodivergent with a high capacity brain and a neurospicy 🌶️ profile (ASD level 1 + high‑functioning ADHD). I run an online academy for medical students and physicians, and I’m building two small Skool communities for people like us who have a lot to process and organize - around neurodiversity and realistic, brain‑friendly productivity. I love the vision of this group and I’m really grateful to be here, learning how to grow in a way that protects both joy and energy. Thank you for creating this space. 💛​

Can someone give me some insight and maybe tips on how to handle this ADHD pattern? I really enjoy recording and editing videos for social media. I’ve only been creating Instagram Reels so far, but this year I’m also making videos for my Skool classroom and YouTube. It’s a lot of work, but I genuinely enjoy the process and can drop into hyperfocus once I’m in it. But for some reason, I massively procrastinate starting. I can’t seem to get myself into my office to begin. I’ll spend hours doing other things I don’t even enjoy, or doing nothing at all, before I finally drag myself in, and then I’ll spend hours happily creating. Often working way past my bed time and totally messing up my am and pm routines. 🙄 This happens with other things too, but video creation is the most pressing right now. Why do I do this? And how can I work with it rather than fighting it? Thank you so much! 🙏

Today is my birthday! Jan 23rd! I am one of those people who loves their birthday. I don't know why I just do! I also love being an Aquarius! I made this field guide for ADHD somatic (body) regulation. Safety starts in the body. Attention starts in the body. If you see any errors let me know. I've already fixed a few, but I've stared at it so much that my brain just sees what it wants to see!

Quick win I wanted to share because this one genuinely felt good. Just received our first client testimonial for ConstructionX AI from Steel Serenity 👉 https://steelserenity.co.uk/ They run 13 independent businesses under one roof, which means constant messages, calls, and context switching. Exactly the kind of environment that can get overwhelming fast. We built: • A complex multi-business website • Automation • An AI agent to handle inbound messages and calls The biggest win wasn’t “AI” it was mental space. Less noise. Fewer interruptions. Nothing slipping through the cracks. Sharing this because systems that reduce cognitive load are a game-changer, especially when your brain already runs at full speed. Onwards 💪
