Artwork of female hugging a heart. Text reads, But here's the truth: Your worth isn't measured by productivity. You are capable. You are enough. Your potential is real. And progress comes through working with your brain, not against it.

Abstract artwork. Text reads, That's why you might: * Feel frustrated that you know what needs doing but struggle to initiate. * Shift between interests, searching for the one that provides enough dopamine to sustain focus. * Wonder why neurotypical workflows don't yield the same results for you.

Artwork of someone typing. Text reads, Here's why: * Executive dysfunction makes follow-through challenging-even when motivation is high. * Your ADHD brain processes rewards differently, making distant goals harder to pursue. * Rejection sensitivity often manifests as perfectionism-creating decision paralysis.

Artwork of female with head in”potential” written next to her, standing at a bridge with “action” written across it. Text reads: It's not that you don't want it enough. It's not that you aren't trying. It's that your brain works differently when bridging the gap between potential and action.

This thread by superskillsadhd over on Instagram really resonated with me. I’m definitely struggling with executive dysfunction…

This is why I’ve plotted out five books but can’t seem to get past chapter one of writing!

Upside to my sick day… read all of The Widows’ Guide to Backstabbing by my lovely friend (and #NZauthor) Amanda Ashby. Loved it… it’s got an English village, great characters, sewing, baking and murder!! 🧵🪡✂️🍰🧁🔪🩸
