So this idea of writing down all your thoughts is great in an interruption to not jump up and do stuff to rewire your system in that way.
But then we also want to challenge like, oh, do I feel desperate that I can't ever forget anything ever?
It's similar to hoarding.
So we can have physical hoarding where you want stuff.
Oh my gosh, I might not be okay without this.
I better keep it just in case, just in case we can have that with thoughts.
I better keep every idea I've ever had just in case.
Or we might have that with planning.
Oh, I better make this day, the calendar as efficient as possible.
What if I forget something?
But all of that is just reinforcing this idea that I'm unsafe and I need all of this to be okay, which further dysregulates the nervous system, which makes ADHD symptoms worse.
I'm like, I don't care.
So irrelevant.
It doesn't matter how you do it is am I regulated enough to know, hey, once I write the list, now it's time to start doing the things or am I stuck in this kind of perpetual organization of my ideas and like keeping it all really close?
It would really to be to start challenging the behavior or challenging the thing that you're doing to soothe.
So if you're writing down every single thought you have when you're working, try to let some of them go.
That's a start.
Go, oh, that's, oh, that's a cool idea.
And if you know, okay, that's, I'm not gonna be doing that this week.
It's not for the project.
