Oh, why hello there!

 


Long time, no post! And not just posting, I've been completely away from my Utopia project/history research for this long! 😮 I've miiised it! I think the second half of 2019 I just got caught up with my cogsci/executive dysfunction project, and then 2020.... well. Everyone gets a pass for that year. 


(Tho for real I got covid super early on, I think exactly a year ago in fact, and the longcovid was awful, and my brain just could not read a paper on any subject for basically the entire year.)


But I've started back up on my utopia stuff (and another history project I'm v excited about but not sharing quite yet!), and so I'm back here (& on twitter) again, too! 

And, since I'm on a different computer set up from last time and I have h̶y̶p̶e̶r̶f̶o̶c̶u̶s̶e̶d̶ ̶o̶n̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶d̶u̶c̶t̶i̶v̶i̶t̶y̶ ̶s̶i̶t̶e̶s̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶a̶ ̶s̶o̶l̶i̶d̶ ̶w̶e̶e̶k̶ ̶o̶r̶ ̶t̶w̶o̶ ̶w̶o̶o̶p̶s̶  had to re-figure out all my organization and workflows and so on, so I've got a bunch of things to post about here once I'm more confident with it all. 

I especially want to talk a little bit more about researching and otherwise being an info nerd with ADHD and how I'm learning to accommodate my brain so I can get the best out of it! I'm in my early 30s now, and I was diagnosed in my early-mid 20s, and this is still very much a learning process. One which is not at all helped by the lack of academic resources specifically available for adults with ADHD who are in grad school or academia in general, or do similar stuff (like me).
