Feel Like You’re Too Much? ADHD, Intense Emotions and Validation. CLOUD With Sabrina Zohar

Again, I don’t seem to be alone in that either… Joining the…

Mark Manson - ADHD, Novelty & Work. Why Traditional Productivity Hacks Won’t Help.
For a lot of us with ADHD brains, the idea of working a 9-5 job with stable productivity seems like an unimaginable concept. The ways that we thrive in our careers or our work lives seem to be a little bit left of centre when compared to others. When it comes to structure, goals and productivity, is it best that we listen to the ‘expert’ advice, or do we need to go about it in completely different ways? Mark Manson is a #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F ck* and Everything is F cked: A Book About Hope with 20 million books sold in over 65…
