So ADHD brain, we want to do all of the things. And right now. Right now. But clarity is understanding that you can't and it's not appropriate and how to move ahead and design a life that you love. I think that's one thing that a lot of ADHD, especially women, think that if they're really crystal clear on what they're doing and how they're doing it and they're really organized and they have amazing routines, That they're not gonna love their life because they love the spontaneity. They love the chaos. I call it functional chaos. We can create functional chaos with clarity, getting rid of the overwhelm, creating less RSD, more function in your day.
