This one feels easier to read. Guess it doesn't work for everybody, huh.

I picked up bullet journaling, writing down by hand in meetings, and the occasional journaling in my bullet journal.

It helps slow down that speeding brain of mine. Often speeding to nowhere, I find.

Congratulations 🎉 Go get a cookie (or whatever nice treat you really like) you deserve a reward for this accomplishment.

I love em dashes. My colleagues had asked me to remove them because "it doesn't exist in the wild, it makes your text look AI generated." No! AI has taken soo much already from creative humanity, it won't take yet another method of personal literary expression—my personal expression—as well.

Besides, I'm all over the place—hardly concise. Anyone who thinks I'm using AI just by using em dashes should really reevaluate how they spot AI in the wild, as well as read a book—it's where you'll find all the em dashes in the wild.

Oh, I would break down my tickets into tiny baby steps, to the point it's so utterly ridiculous from the outside looking in that my colleagues and manager would comment on my "work journal" and are concerned about the "way overcommitted wasted effort."

It of course, helps a whole lot despite the amount of additional added hours I would put into that. Each little checkbox is a much needed dopamine trickle to keep me on task, and the whole thing seems far less daunting once I've been able to sit down and break things down into atomic subtasks—checkpoints—that I could stop at and still be able to come back later on without losing track of where I'm at mid-ticket. And not ending up debugging myself round and round in circles as I forget what I already did before.

I didn't use to do that though, nor did most of my systems even exist in any tangible form really. They were the products of my brainstorming and research on how to get around my ADHD and not things that I would've naturally settled on on my own. So, if I'm understanding what (this aspect of) autism is correctly. I'm only ADHD as well, at least on this (and many other so far) aspect.

Edit: reading comprehension failure. Um, I haven't been using AI for the breaking down of. Maybe it's something I could try?

If it's not written down, it doesn't exist~
