ADHD and Follow Through

One thing I’ve always struggled with is following through on my goals, dreams, promises, chores and anything else you could think of that I could fail at following through on. Society would call this irresponsible or flakey. Someone who can’t follow through is someone you can’t trust. But here’s the thing: I’ve always wanted toContinue reading “ADHD and Follow Through”

Summer Bucketlist with Littles

As many of you know, I am still healing from knee surgery. As such, I’m not able to do as much as I’d like to… like go to the coast, or go hiking. Those will have to wait until next year. This year, I’m going simple but fun. Activities I can do without full mobility.Continue reading “Summer Bucketlist with Littles”

3 Apps I Love and Use

One thing I struggle with on a daily basis is setting up a routine and sticking to it. The thing is, I want a routine. It sounds amazing to me. But I can’t ever seem to stick to one. These apps help me set up and follow through with routines, and have become something IContinue reading “3 Apps I Love and Use”

Executive Dysfunction Hacks for Exercise

As many of you know, I recently had surgery on my knee. The recovery is long and hard. I have to do exercises three times a day (which is hard when I’m alone with my littles). Here are some tips/hacks for remembering to exercise and actually exercise: 1. Make a plan. I try to thinkContinue reading “Executive Dysfunction Hacks for Exercise”

Happy Independence Day

I’m trying something new for the month of July (and if it goes well, the rest of this year). I’m going to post twice a week and see how it goes. One thing I struggle with is follow through, and content creation. I can usually come up with ideas for posts, but sitting down andContinue reading “Happy Independence Day”

Bullet Journaling

I don’t know about you, but I really struggle with remembering appointments and other important things. And I love writing my to-do lists down in a notebook. That’s where bullet journaling comes in. I first started bullet journaling in 2016. I don’t remember how I discovered it, but I remember sitting in a quiet placeContinue reading “Bullet Journaling”

Mental health is health

By Clarissa Enos Plagmann I have so many ideas for blog posts, some half-written, some only vaguely thought of, that I struggle knowing what to post each week. I was tossing around a few ideas and started writing a couple this week, but then I was sitting here thinking about an experience I had thisContinue reading “Mental health is health”

I Had Surgery!

Wow! Friday already! I’ve been trying to post every Thursday, but I had surgery on my knee yesterday. I kept telling myself I should write one and have it post automatically on Thursday, but it never happened. ADHD strikes again! 😅 I’m not even a full 24 hours out from surgery, but I’m doing well!Continue reading “I Had Surgery!”

Completing Big Projects

By Clarissa Enos Plagmann Something I really struggle with is finishing projects. I have no problem coming up with awesome projects to do, shopping for the supplies/doing the research, and starting the project… but the second it gets hard and I hit something, whether a small bump or brick wall, I lose interest and moveContinue reading “Completing Big Projects”

Working With My Brain

Something I’ve been working on a lot lately is making my home more user friendly, mainly for me. My purses and bags and jackets used to always end up on the floor in our entryway, literally leaning against the door to the hall closet where they belonged. And chores don’t get done because the listContinue reading “Working With My Brain”
