Day 10 of my #ADHDjourney: "Eating the frog" is the WORST way for me to be productive with my neurospicy brain. Starting my day with short and/or pleasant tasks (with the understanding that I will definitely go off task during side quests) is the best way to get shit done.

Woke up to the news that Rev. Jesse Jackson joined the ancestors last night. I have a photo I took with him on the steps of the Alabama State Capitol building in 1995 at the 30th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery March.

Rest well my brother. We will continue the work.
