First — thank you to everyone who showed up for my talk this afternoon! And holy wow, 40+ of you joined the waiting room for my Skool community right after. That genuinely made my entire week. 💚
And as we wrap up this summit, I want to chat with you about something I've been sitting with the question entire week...the question of whether I have ADHD.
I don't have a formal diagnosis.
I might never get one.
But I know my experience is real.
And one of the clearest patterns I've noticed? My brain gets MORE anxious when ideas, tasks, or projects aren't captured somewhere I trust.
Here's the thing: Capturing and implementing are two completely different things.
It's actually been so interesting to see your responses to my other post about that (here) and how this community is PRETTY damn split! And it made me think...
Just because an idea or project isn't a "right now" doesn't mean it's not a "someday." And my ADHD brain needs to know that idea is LOGGED somewhere safe so I can trust myself to come back to it when the time is right.
For me, the anxiety doesn't come from having a list of somedays.
The anxiety comes from NOT capturing.
From losing ideas.
From that nagging feeling that something important slipped through the cracks and I'll never remember it again.
This is why I focus so much on systems that capture.
Not to do everything.
Not to finish 47 projects at once.
But to build infrastructure that holds the ideas safely so my brain can actually relax.
Because when I know nothing gets lost? I can focus on the ONE thing that matters right now without the background noise of "but what about that other idea I had last Tuesday?"
That's what sustainable systems do.
They don't force you to act on everything immediately.
They give you permission to park things intentionally — and trust you'll find them again when it's time.
If you're neurodivergent and you've ever felt guilty for having a long list of "somedays" — this is your reminder that the list isn't the problem. The list is the solution.
You don't need to finish everything.
You just need to trust that you won't lose it.
Thank you again all for the love on the talk! What a WONDERFUL summit this has been! 🫶🏻😘
