As promised, here are a few reads that stayed with me over the years. Not because they were “nice books”. But because each one left a fingerprint on how I think, feel, and move through life. Psycho-Cybernetics (Maxwell Maltz) This one taught me that self image runs everything. If you keep “seeing yourself” as the person who quits, procrastinates, or disappoints, you will keep living that loop. Change the inner picture, and behavior starts to follow. The Untethered Soul (Michael A. Singer) Big reminder: you are not the voice in your head. You are the one who hears it. When I really started practicing that, the mental noise lost a lot of power. The Power of Now (Eckhart Tolle) I read this while traveling in Thailand and I applied it immediately. It was honestly bizarre how quickly you can feel the difference when you stop living inside “later” or “what if” and return to the present. It was one of the first times I experienced peace as something practical, not philosophical. The Expectation Effect (David Robson) This gave me a grounded, research-backed way to understand something we all feel: what you expect shapes what you experience. He uses practical examples and data around placebo and nocebo effects, where positive expectations can improve outcomes and negative expectations can worsen them. Mastery (Robert Greene) This book helped me connect the dots back to childhood. Greene argues your “Life’s Task” often leaves clues early on, in what you were naturally drawn to before the world told you what was “useful.” What hit me most is how many masters went through a real shift after years of apprenticeship. A phase where they stopped copying and started experimenting, and something more intuitive and original switched on. He uses biographies of people like Darwin and Einstein to show that pattern. Reality Transurfing (Vadim Zeland) This one goes deeper for me than “just think positive.” The idea that stuck is reducing “importance.” The more you overcharge a goal with pressure, identity, or desperation, the more you create inner tension and weird resistance. Another concept is “pendulums,” basically dramas or group energies that try to hook your attention. When you stop feeding them with emotional charge, you get your energy back and you move cleaner.

Fifteen days in and look — I don’t feel lighter yet, and the laptop isn’t exactly sprinting — but I can see the path. I’m on the way. And honestly, that’s enough for now. Current (completely scientific) stats: - 4,392 screenshots deleted — mostly “inspiring craft ideas, flowers, recipes ” I never made - 27.8GB of random files gone - 812 duplicate photos (still adorable, still unnecessary) - 7.8K to still go through - 3 apps removed - USB Zoo: 22 USB sticks with 47 versions of the same files, all waiting for categorisation, de-duplication - Hard drive still hiding duplicate files like it’s running a witness protection programme Email Goal: Operation Inbox Tidy I’m aiming to maintain my three inboxes at: (currently sitting at 12000) - 250 - 150 - 100 …with proper folders, actual structure, and a daily rhythm that Future‑Me can actually follow. The Newsletter Chaos (I Did This to Myself) I unsubscribed from 27 newsletters I joined because of one interesting article each. They’ve stopped bombarding me. I’ve stopped panic‑subscribing. And I’m learning to trust that I can think of what I want to know later — and go research it when I actually need it, instead of hoarding content like a digital dragon. Since I Stopped Doom‑Scrolling the Book of Faces My “subscribe to everything shiny” reflex has dropped dramatically. Yeippe. Yehaa. Turns out less scrolling = fewer impulsive sign‑ups. The Photo Problem (I Am the Problem) No more snapping 47 blurry photos of craft ideas “for later”. If I’m not in creative mode, the camera stays in its lane. My Daily Rhythm - 20 mins per day - Quick inbox tidy → keep those numbers in range - Close all tabs except the ones Tomorrow‑Me will actually use - Save half‑done docs so Recovery stops judging me - Downloads sweep → delete the goblins (there is over 2.7 K of files and 4.65 GB- of mess) - Laptop to sleep → “Night night team, we’re doing our best” Day 15. Not lighter yet. Not faster yet. But I’m building the rhythm, the habit, the muscle — and that’s where the magic starts.

Hi everyone👋 Im based in the UK and Im doing my Masters in Creative Practice, and Im loving the challenge but also drowning in it. Overwhelm and imposter syndrome are both taking their toll. I've not had a formal diagnosis, but I really don't need one. My son is Autistic with ADHD, my husband is ADHD, and I am without a doubt, ADHD, though I have been treated with antidepressants for the last 40 years of my life. I'm not depressed, just ADHD. I read so much when my son was diagnosed, some of it rang true for me too, but I just thought I was projecting. There wasn't, and still isnt, a lot out there about women with ADHD, and how the issues are similar but different. As time has progressed I have realised that I fit into the niche of ADHD female, and it made my life make sense, but not easier. I am 60 this year, this is me taking my life back, and becoming a whole person. Its taken a lot of sacrifice to get here, so many missed opportunities, but I'm nearly 60 not nearly dead, so its worth a shot. It cant make the situation worse than it currently is, though I accept that change will probably bring uncertainty. I'm hoping this can be limited by having a community alongside me who is going through the same process, and that we can prop each other up if need be. I can't wait for this to start, I look forward to sharing the journey with you. Kate
