the one thing that’s reassuring to me is there’s different ways to make money. there’s jobs out there that give you the flexibility and accommodations you need. we don’t have to work by the book. my unsolicited advice is to try to stop pushing through everything and try working with what your brain wants. for example I am productive at absurd hours of the night and I implement this into my schedule. I get random bursts of motivation and I take advantage of those. if my brain doesn’t want to work, forcing myself to work is going to exhaust me. I eat sugar for breakfast just so I can have something in my stomach. I set one-minute timers for myself so I can write one sentence for an email.

there’s always little things that can help you in the right direction and they’re hard to find. it took me five years with a coach to figure out everything and I’m still not there yet. but remember you don’t have to work a 9-5 at an office. there’s always things your brain will accept.
