🌈 Why “Normal” Was Never the Point — And Why VAST Brains Matter
Imagine a world where everyone thought the same, worked the same, processed the same, created the same.Pretty bleak, right?No jazz. No breakthroughs. No wild ideas that change everything. Just… beige. Now imagine the actual world — the one shaped by diverse, multidimensional thinkers.The problem‑solvers.The pattern‑spotters.The creative designers.The entrepreneurs who build something out of nothing.The people who can see ten steps ahead while everyone else is still reading the instructions. If everyone thought the same, no spark. No invention. No wild ideas - life would be pretty dull. Most of the world’s problem‑solvers, creatives, and entrepreneurs?They’re wired a bit differently — just like us. That’s why I love the term VAST — Variable Attention Stimulus Trait, coined by Dr. Edward Hallowell and Dr. John Ratey, It describes the same wiring as ADHD, but without the “deficit” and “disorder” labels that never fit our lived experience. A VAST brain lights up with meaning, urgency, curiosity, connection. It's dynamic. It's multidimensional, It's built for creativity and innovation — not beige conformity. Here’s the part most of us were never told growing up:A huge number of those innovators have what we call VAST — Variable Attention Stimulus Traits. And honestly… doesn’t that feel so much truer than “ADHD”? No “deficit”.No “disorder”.Just a brain that responds to meaning, interest, urgency, connection, and spark. When we reframe ADHD as VAST, something shifts.Shame drops.Possibility opens.And suddenly, the traits we were told were “too much” or “not enough” start looking a lot like superpowers. Because the world doesn’t move forward because of “normal”.It moves forward because of the beautifully wired, the differently tuned, the wildly imaginative. So if you’ve ever felt “too scattered”, “too intense”, “too sensitive”, “too distracted”, or “too everything”…Maybe you’re not too anything.Maybe you’re VAST. And maybe that’s exactly what the world needs more of - People like you and me🦓
✨ I Subtracted… and Suddenly Had a Life Again ✨
Over the last 8 weeks I quietly ditched a bunch of sneaky dopamine drains: - Doom‑scrolling - “One more episode” - Netflix + Demand TV binges - Low‑value scrolling loops And weirdly… removing stuff gave me more: - 8kg gone (wellless - so that is a good thing) - Better fitness - Actual time for artwork - Time to volunteer - Learning new skills - Longer‑lasting dopamine from projects that matter - A clearer sense of my future The 5‑Day Challenge helped heaps — especially the Morning/Evening Protocols and breaking big, overwhelming tasks into tiny doable ones. I still have some work to do on my Biological Regulation, that is sleep, exercise and nutrition - but it is a work in progress. And because I finally had time back…Here’s a photo of something I built as a gift for a dear friend. Eight weeks ago this would’ve been “maybe next year.” If you’re new here:Try subtracting one tiny thing - You'll be shocked at what grows in the space it leaves.
✨ I Subtracted… and Suddenly Had a Life Again ✨
Exhausted and haven’t accomplished a darn thing today
I fell asleep around 5am yesterday. Woke up at 8 to use bathroom (I was so mad). Put my watch n to charge while I rested a little. Laid in bed for a bit and it was 4:00pm! That didn’t go over well. I’m so exhausted for doing nothing. Well, I’m sore from back issues and a cooked a meal that I thought was good, even if no one else in the house appreciates food with flavor..something more than cereal. I don’t cook often, but I enjoy it. That was highlight. Otherwise, I ached and when I was making a comment to my wife about something my son didn’t do, I was in the wrong. Basically, she walked away and said good night. This has nothing to do with adhd, but wanted to express how I felt. Good night.
Planning
I find it really difficult to plan ahead. I know it would make things easier if I could plan for meals that I have to cook and get things ready so when I feel hungry there is something in the fridge I can grab when I am in a rush. This has been going on for years, I go on a diet and all I hear is that I need to plan better. I try to eat well but it’s so much easier just to grab a banana or a snack bar.
