Episode Wisdom Nuggies:
💬 "I haven't been as creative because my table for creativity is covered in stuff that I need to deal with. That would probably take me 10 minutes to deal with. Maybe I'll do that after this episode. Wish me luck! If in the next episode, that table is clean. I want you to leave me a comment and say, good job. Cause I need that... to live, okay? Thank you. We now have a social contract. Praise me if I clean that desk. Thank you!”
💬 "There's operations happening in our brain, and standards of what a workspace should look like and function like. So that's part one, is identify those standards and assumptions. And then, step two of creating your neurodivergent, friendly, creative workspace is what are your patterns and habits?”
💬 “You will not be creative as much as you want if you're holding yourself to a standard that is very hard to achieve.”
💬 “Anything that is going to like distract you out of having the enjoyable experience you want because of a bad sensory input, go make accommodations for yourself.”
