❄️ It's rare to have a "snow day" when you're an entrepreneur, but the weather changed my circumstances and I wound up with an empty calendar.

▶️ My ADHD life has been well-functioning lately, largely due to the structure I’ve created for myself so it's really difficult when I wind up with unscheduled time. Here's how it's going after 60 minutes...

🌪️ Lie on office couch --> remember something I have to do on laptop --> decide to start an overdue project that I promised myself I'd complete before end of year --> Hazel wants to go outside --> water more of the plants in the kitchen I started watering hours earlier --> go back to office, remember I need to order something online --> let Hazel in instead --> water more plants, find 1/2 bagel in toaster oven from earlier and leave it --> back to office --> randomly and impulsively start emptying boxes in office closet still unpacked from move 10 years ago --> notice pile of dog hair in closet --> get vacuum --> open another box, get overwhelmed --> back to couch, mentally exhausted by noon --> repeat, repeat, repeat

The process of thinking through a multi-step task (like a bigger homework assignment) and mentally ordering the steps to completion can be the breakdown area for some kids. (Get out the backpack. Find the right folder. Gather the papers, books, pencil. Find the page number. Organize thoughts. Filter out distractions. Create mental responses. Organize and problem solve. Recall what was mentioned in class. Put answers to paper.)

That ability to identify high priority tasks and rate them compared to low priority tasks can be quite difficult.

Prioritization is the process of figuring out what parts of a task or activity are the most important and what is the first thing that needs to be done and what is the most important part of the project that needs to be completed. Prioritization is the ability to identify tasks in an order that makes sense!

Prioritization is an executive functioning skill that requires several other executive functions.

🧠Initiation
🧠Planning
🧠Sustained Attention
🧠Working Memory
🧠Task Completion

👩🏻‍🎓 Traditional schooling does not fit everyone, yet it's where most kids are presented with societal standards for success.

(NYT article is my 🎁 to you)

From A.D.H.D. to anxiety, disorders have risen as the expectations of childhood have changed.
