These years and working through some of my son’s struggles have take a real toll on me. I shared about my seeking help with that.

There is an aspect of my job that I've been doing (successfully) for the past 6 years.

Today, I am *struggling* to repeat that success. Oh, it's not that I can't. I'm just...ugh. It's feeling harder to push this relatively low lift over the finish line.

I was more successful doing this thing at 7.30 am yesterday than now.

For all you high performers out there who are struggling to do the simple things....I feel you. I see you. I am you.

Took 2.5hrs to get ready for the beach with 3 kids. Kids kept interrupting my thought process, which led to panic that I was forgetting something important.

Took 4 attempts at thought processes to remember to hand out morning medicines.

Took 1 trip back to get inhaler for asthmatic child.

Being an parent brings so many challenges.

But. On the plus side... I'm now on my way to the beach woohoo. Sweet sweet ocean.

Turned out that the reason I'd been putting certain jobs off was that I didn't want them to distract me from finishing my chapter. As soon as the draft was completed, I was suddenly energised to complete a task I've been putting off since December. Funny how that works. Almost like makes easier...

Me: I haven’t eaten yet today.

Me: makes coffee, drinks coffee, another hour goes by

Me: I still haven’t eaten. I think I’ll make a grocery list.

Me: I ordered too many groceries because I’m hungry.

Me: now I have a headache from not eating and from only drinking coffee.

Me: I still haven’t eaten I should eat. I don’t know if I have the energy any more to eat.

why is this what living inside my head is like?

Last week I had all the student group meetings. My office on campus is flooded and off limits for the foreseeable future, so I stayed home and met on Zoom — no in person class. Today my husband didn’t have to go in so I slept in the guest room and set an alarm on my phone. Between these two things, my brain defaulted to the Early Morning Travel subroutine. I am here at work (early) showered and with electronics, but no coffee or lunch packed. Alas.

I like to cross tasks off in my planner in order for extra dopamine (because likes to steal it from me). It always makes me happy to close out a week with completed rainbow cycles, especially when heading into a long weekend!

But I'm over here in NIH land because I'm also very interested in from an animal behavior perspective. As an scientist I'm often perplexed and infuriated by mouse model work, but I think there is a lot of potential to use mouse models to explore questions that are more immediately relevant to the needs and questions of actual neurodivergent people.

So I'm playing in this space and thinking deeply about for a bit.

@AnokheeTara luckily, it happens more rarely these days. But last night the dishes hadn't been taken care of, so I had to do those before I set up the coffee (cuz the sink was full so I couldn't get filtered water for the coffee) so I ended up doing that, and forgetting about the coffee. If I don't do it when I think of it, chances are, it doesn't happen.

My fellow humans, especially those with or
My job at the moment (I'm 5 weeks in) features many moving parts and lots of external meetings. How do you manage and keep track of tasks? And the throwaway "Could you please do X" requests?
I struggle with memory & focus which means the messages asking. "Have you done X" are starting to build up.
I'm really good at my work, but need to get this sorted! Help!
