30 Days and Change: Day 24

Day Twenty-Four: What has been the biggest challenge of your life thus far?

Word Count: When I think about this biggest challenge in my life right now, it always falls to time and prioritization. When you stop and think about it, what the fuck is time? It’s clearly subjective based on where you live and, hell, if you even acknowledge time at all. I think about all the things I hope and want to do in a day, the constant creativity in my head in a 24-hour period, and the prioritization it takes to make all those things happen.

Additionally, one must have a level of discernment to decide whether or not everything should be done and when. I struggle a bit with that, causing inconsistencies in the manifestation of these creative ideas and sometimes derailing my entire ideation. As someone who identifies as neurodivergent, it can be a full-blown show-down struggle in my head each and every day. (the ADHD be ADHD’ing) As my anxiety rises, and I continue to try to manage it, being mindful of time is so important to help out. Diagnosed last year with GAD (generalized anxiety disorder), my challenge with time is exacerbated by the worry of time. Crazy, right?

Even down to the consistencies of the writing challenge, I have been struggling to manage all the elements that I am required outside of the quiet moments I get to write here and share with you. Bleeding right into how I show up to write. It’s a lot and can all be managed when given some prioritization. So, to help myself and all my creative works see the light of day, I implemented a project management board for my life through an app called “Click Up.” In about a week or two, see how I survive. Lol
