This is the absolute best! I don't know who from my virtual workshop series sent me this but thank you for both the sweet note, cute cup and the laugh!
For context: When we first started the Virtual Workshops in January, I was recovering from a nasty respiratory infection, so I always kept cough drops, water and hot tea on hand. As the weeks progressed, I could talk for an hour without coughing. I often wasn't organized enough to have my water bottle full, but I always had hot tea.
Then, last weekend I received this in the mail. Someone must know me (and my sense of humor) well and to answer the obvious question: Was it tea or wine in my drink every week? That's for me and only me to really know my friends! Cheers!

When we talk in Groups about executive functioning, we often talk about CHUNKING. Yesterday in a Group I was talking to a young man who was overwhelmed with the number of things that needed to get done this weekend. We "chunked" the information in a different way - we did it by convenience - so when he's already out running errands what can get done? When he's sitting at his desk what can get done? Etc. Add in a bit of color coding and a bonus "F" for things he thought he could do Friday afternoon and *mic drop* what started as a very long overwhelming list looks, feels (and therefore is) more manageable!
