I finally made some zines! I was having a hard time deciding what to make a zine about so I made it easy for myself and had a lot of fun picking some poems from my One Note poetry notebook. There was some learning curves here and they’re not perfect but zine’s are perfectly imperfect, so that’s ok. I love them and can’t wait to make more.

I left some copies in Newcastle’s little free zine libraries.

so for those of you who don't know, I was recently diagnosed with ADHD-I. So far, I think my favourite thing that I've learned is the idea of "embrace the pivot".

Have you ever found a productivity system that works for you (whether it be your Google calendar, bullet journaling, agenda-ing, etc), and you're so pumped because it's like finally! Now I can actually get some stuff done! But then time passes, days or weeks or years, and the novelty of it runs out, and then it kind of just... Stops working. It can be so frustrating, because this thing that used to work no longer works for seemingly no reason.

But, that isn't a failing of the thing, that thing worked for a certain amount of time, and that's good! I used a massive agenda in my first year of uni, and it kept me on track for all my assignments. My second year agenda? Barely touched it. Instead, I started to use a bullet journal, and that was the thing that helped me through most of the year. But as time went on, my spreads got less creative, and in the final term, I didn't even want to touch it because it was too much work. So I switched to Notion.

The agenda didn't fail me, and neither did the bullet journal, it just worked for a certain amount of time. And when that time inevitably runs out, you can just say, "thank you for serving me for so long, I'm going to pivot to the next thing." And then you do it without feeling like you should try harder or like that thing failed you.

This doesn't just have to apply to productivity either. Systems, tools, habits, hobbies, coping mechanisms.. They all serve their purpose. It's okay to let them go when the time comes.

Sometimes all the pivot needs is some novelty too, for example I always wanted to keep a diary but got bored with it and wouldn't want to go back after a long break. I found two things that made it work long-term for me: 1) discarding the "rules" I stopped caring about only posting "today" and if I wanted to write about something I did two months ago because I found the photos in my phone and haven't touched my diary in three months then I'd write about it and if I chose to write like I'd written it that same day or write it as something I did two months ago, whatever. 2) Novelty! I have been making my own journals (Junk Journal style) using the packaging from collectors editions of games or from the massive hoard of crafting supplies I have and I LOVE using these journals I'm excited for the next one which motivates me to fill up the current one. I'm not saying you have to make your own journal too, but find one you love the thought of using and don't wait until it's full to buy a new one, have another one on hand waiting that you're equally as excited to use.

Style wise this was a boring apartment to build, however, notice Jo Sally in the holographic game, who wouldn’t want all those gadgets and gizmos!

I just heard the best way to finish a phone conversation, man on the train was on a call, “Anyway, I’m done talking to people, c’ya.” *hangs up straight away, not even waiting for a response.*

#social anxiety #phone calls #don’t call me

When you thought you were finished writing/coding chapter one but realise you have a chunk more to add after you read it through… I was so excited to start on chapter two today 🤦🏻‍♀️
