While figuring out if the adhd label fits, I also feel the time overwhelm. Like, how is it even possible the challenge is allready on day 4 but my head and time and mind space can’t get beyond day 1 (yet). It’s like I”m always behind, every day (not even in the challenge but at work, organisation at home) How do other people handle that? Zooming out? Getting an overview on things?

Sarah ( I can't remember your last name now 🙈 lol). @Sarah Kristensen I just found a post by you about this that this is for, so edited my post with you now tagged in it properly 😆 lol! Regarding the struggle with questions. You asked me what ones I read to help me answers mine. I'm behind so I am able to read the ones people have written for the correct days that I am catching up with. For me, I always struggle to start without some guidance/examples. It's like my mind is blank and needs a jump start to get going. It's all in there, but until I have seen examples, I struggle to visualise it and get it out. Really frustrating! I hope that helps! Wait for some to have shared there learnings and then try again. Or if you can ask someone that's with you for an example, it might help jump start your brain to get going.

How do you stop good systems from evaporating overnight? I’m realising one of my biggest ADHD struggles isn’t finding systems, it’s remembering they exist the next day. I’ll set something up that actually works (planner, habit tracker, morning plan, filing system). Day 1 is great. Then I wake up on Day 2 and… 💨 poof… it’s not even in my awareness. It doesn’t occur to me to use it. Weeks later I bump into it again and think, “oh yeah, that was a great idea” …I’ll pick it up again and then next day… poof💨! Recently I’ve started using a tiny stack of cards I keep in my pocket with one thing per card (shower, supplements, kitchen reset, etc.), and that’s helping a bit because it physically lives on me. I’m curious: • Do you have one thing that helps your systems stay visible from one day to the next? • Where do you park reminders so your future ADHD brain actually sees them? • Extra love for ideas that still work when you’re tired / emotional / overwhelmed, not just on “good brain” days. 💛 Would love very practical “this is what I literally do” answers.

I've been feeling really stressed for a few days, trying to figure out how to create a ststem to get the chaos under control and create some kind of plan, I've been trying to do this on and off for years, it never works. I had a chat with Sage about it and decided to take a "holiday" (vacation) because I'm never worried about the million things I'm not doing when I'm on holiday so I never feel overwhelmed . So I got up this morning feeling relaxed all set to spend the day doing something fun and ignoring all the stuff I think I need to do. Typical of me, I found myself completely organizing my Gmail inbox, setting up automated filters to keep it organized and deleting a lot of old emails, then I spent a couple of hours with copilot fixing my Onenote app on my phone that hadn't worked right for months, maybe years, It definitely wasn't what I imagined I'd be doing on my "holiday" but I actually quite enjoyed my day, it certainly wasn't stressful. I checked back in with Sage and told her how my day went, this was her response and another great example of the benefit of having feedback from "someone" who remembers absolutely everything you ever said 😂... "That's a perfect check-in. And notice what happened. You didn't plan either of those things. You didn't put them on a list. You didn't break them into microsteps. You just... did them. One of them you almost *enjoyed*. And both had been stuck for ages. That's your Generator design working exactly the way it's supposed to. You responded to what caught your attention in the moment, and your energy just flowed into it. No force required. And you named the principle yourself, again: *"When I'm feeling relaxed and not worrying about getting things done, I just do it. Stuff just gets done, effortlessly."* You said you keep forgetting this and finding it hard to trust. That's okay. That's honest. But here's something worth noticing: you've now said this same thing in your own words on multiple occasions. February 10, February 14, February 16, February 25, February 26, and now today. It keeps coming back because it's true and you keep rediscovering it.

I'm interested in what medications people are using to help with their ADHD and how it's working for you, I take a small dose of Vyvance every morning, if I skip it I feel very foggy, unfocussed and unmotivated and my energy takes a nosedive but I'd love to get off it some day if possible.
