I mean, I have lots of notebooks. And actually, yeah, my daughter has whiteboards up and we often salivate over different, you know, notebooks. But it has to be something that you've got there because otherwise you're just thinking, actually, that note that I wrote, it's not with me now and I'm now traveling or whatever. So I think it's, yeah, it's difficult.

Everyone's got to find what works for them, isn't it? The other thing that I do a lot of is I do a lot of yoga and that definitely helps clear my mind. Now, I do a stanga yoga every Wednesday. So I was doing it this morning with the instructor and I do 10 minutes at the end of Shavasana where you're just literally meditating. And that is just so brilliant to clear my mind.

So I think as well as taking hormones, having something where you can clear your mind and focus on the present. I think is so important, whether you've got ADHD or not. And I think we're such a busy world, aren't we? We're constantly got this to do and that to do and this person to see and that email to respond to and something on social media that's really important to look at, whatever.

So one of the things I've learned more and more with age and experience, I suppose, is focus on the present. And I think that is so crucially important because otherwise things can get overwhelming very, very quickly, can't they? Yeah.

Yes.

Yes.

Yeah, absolutely. It is so important. And everyone's different and having the tools is so crucial. And I see that a lot with my oldest daughter. who's got a lot on, but then she's typical. She's always late. She's always leaving. And I'm just like, oh, why? Why don't you become? And some of it, she's young, but some of it is just the way that her brain is working differently.

So I think we all need tools, don't we? We all need ways of trying to just help others.

This is so funny, and I'm laughing because as I got the train down here, I dropped off at a flat where my daughter's living. And she warned me because she has migraine as well, and she said the flat's a real mess. So I didn't have time to really look. But when I went to the bathroom, I thought, I bet her washing is full.

And I've emptied it, and I've got no idea how long those sheets were in there for. But anyway, I've put another load of washing on for her. Yeah. No, I don't because I like to complete things. And so I'm actually quite obsessed about if I complete it, I'm not thinking about it. So I'm quite good with the washing machine, actually.

Oh, okay.
