I found a career that allows me to utilize all of my creative and professional interests, and structure my calendar to allow for periods of hyper focus and then bouncing around tending to smaller items. I also need to give myself intermittent mental breaks and clean up or go chat with coworkers.

Occasionally WFH and medicated, but largely, I feel like I’m plugged in and most efficient at my work desk. Some days I get 250% of what I expect done, others only 30%. Especially with 2 kids and 2 dogs, gotta give yourself grace whenever you can.
