THE END of A CYCLE but NOT

Long awaited result has now come on surface.

Working with ADHD has been challenging to say the least. I’ve noticed I stim a lot more than I used to when I get overwhelmed/overstimulated, however I’ve come a long way in realizing I can’t do everything all at once (even though my brain says I can do it all NOW 🤣). When I first started at Avocado, my brain would be 24/7 thinking about all the guests I didn’t get back to before leaving and worrying that they’ll be mad at me because I didn’t respond right away. 😭 With three years under my belt, I’ve slowly come to realize that there will always be guests that need responding to every single day. Organization has been KEY to keeping me in check - new notebooks and consistently using them will make sure you keep your “To-Do List” on track 😊 I have also found that if success doesn’t come right away, then that just means I need to remain consistent because with consistency comes success. 🎉 Last, but not least, my special skill has been remembering all of my guest’s names because that’s how much of an impact each guest makes on me every day when I interact with them. Creating that personal relationship and connecting with each & every person has been key in having about 15-20 repeat guests over my years with Avocado. All this to say, it’s possible to overcome the overwhelm that comes with life and manage the ADHD wormhole that can happen. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

If you suspect or know you have attentional differences (generally known as ADHD), check out the video below. You may wonder how this guy knew you so well.

#CaringIsSharing 💚 Yay I scored 10 / 10 - Erm oh wait, this wasn't a test 🤦♂️ The amount of AI / Tech software solutions I buy and never use after paying £30 to £900 is shockingly high. I'm basically donating my money to others ffs 🙈 I am an 'in the moment laser focused' neuro divergent entrepreneur tackling a £1 trillion Financial Harm scandal affecting 10m Workers, and then in a split second I'm not. My brain works at a million mph and is constantly switching back and forth to different problem solving issues. I have taken some time off since suffering a 'blue screen' last year that wiped out over £350k of R&D, which tested my mental strength. I'm focusing on my kids and providing care for my Dad, who suffered a fall and has struggled to recover. I'm a Gen X-er who is smack bang in the middle of my 'sandwich years' - whilst taking on corruption in Whitehall and 'thugs in suits' who prey on the apathy of consumers and expect 'the little people' to roll over and give up, or be bankrupted through weaponising known cracks in the Justice System. Leaving £1bn of Group Enterprise Value on hold, whilst I waited for Consumer Duty to kick in for all 45m DC Workplace Pension pot owners, wasn't easy as a neuro divergent obsessed with #Pensionwashing. But I needed to learn more about AI and Web3 before building v3.0 of my 3PPS Framework and launching a prototype platform for our little Cherubs 👼 over the next 100yrs+. Currently enjoying my first holiday in almost 10yrs, with my kids and Dad. Three generations of ADHD-ers in a confined space for two weeks - what could possibly go wrong? 🤷♂️🤣

I think most of this applies to me as well.

Different times, different scales...
