I’m unsurprised with your unofficial ADHD-ness, not in a bad way at all! I’m almost certain I have it, certainly coping mechanisms for ADHD help me as well. Sometimes I amaze myself at what I can get done in hyper focus mode, and other days I can’t understand why it takes me so long to get around to things. I’m trying to embrace it, and am thankful I don’t have it to the debilitating degree others do. Ps that car is super cool!
Funny how like minds cluster. :-) I did think of you when I was writing this. I’m pretty sure you can put down a lot of your success and amazing catalogue of work down to this rollercoaster ride.
🤣 Well if you agree with my diagnosis I know I’m onto something. It’s certainly a rollercoaster ride! My husband asked me recently why I don’t want to go to the GP and start trying to figure out what’s going on…basically, I’m aware other people have a very hard time with this and it’s just something I’m used to now, plus I don’t see why I should take medication for it. So going through the process seems like a waste of time for me, and taking up resources needed more by others. I’ll just keep trying to figure out how best to ride the wild horse of my brain, I suppose!
I feel the same way but I was told that if you take the meds while tacking a project it can feel a little like a super power. The medication does not have to be all the time. If my procrastinaty moments increase I'll consider it . But like you say... I've managed it for this long.

We could always go retro and just try taking speed? (I never have and can't say it appeals these days 🤣)
Yeeeeah had crossed my mind too! In only good, superpower kind of ways :)
Ha!
