@actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd I expect most neurodivergent folk can relate to this: whenever I have an idea for a project, I have an initial phase of excitement. Yes, I can do this! Love this idea! Then my brain spins off in a hundred different directions, identifying all the complexities and things I have to think about and all the work involved and all the ways it could go wrong. I feel WAY overwhelmed before I've even started, and it just takes the wind right out of my sails. Now I'm overwhelmed and stressed and this doesn't sound interesting or exciting at all. The obvious answer is break it down into smaller, manageable pieces. What other ideas or strategies might help alleviate this overwhelm? #ActuallyAutistic #AuDHD #ADHD #Neurodivergent
