Isn't that more ADHD? Maybe AuDHD?

Trick is not to plan. It knows you're coming. Ya get a lot more done if you just start doing and retroactively convince others it was a plan. Middle management 101!

It's missing a "do it" bubble at the top otherwise it would also mean below it's getting done.

I'll die on this hill 😂

Feeling called out. Seems like ADHD, but could be AuDHD. I have the former, and strongly suspect the latter (100% fits me). Working on finding someone to diagnosis ASD for Adults now that doesn't cost a fortune. Struggle is real.
