After just reacting to requests & urgency in my work for ages I decided to sit down & (over several days) and write out the answers to a bunch of questions that I need to know. What do I like to do? What do I want to do? And I have to write this all by hand because, for whatever reason, when I write stuff down is when I do my best thinking.
Below is the list of questions I came up with, in case it helps other #adhd / #AuADHD folks. I’m also proud of myself that I came up with these questions WITHOUT DOING ANY RESEARCH. I’m prone to Gathering Info so I can make the best decisions not make mistakes or be wrong. This time I just trusted in myself, I’ve researched plenty, I know this stuff, and it doesn’t have to be perfect.
The Questions
What do I like to do?
What do I not like doing or don’t want to do?
What do I want to do?
What am I good at?
What am I bad at?
What do my clients like about me? (I emailed them to ask)
What motivates me?
What are my values?
What do I want to do for others? For my family?
What do I want to do for myself?
What do I need to do before I die?
What are the next steps to put these beliefs, ideas, and desires into action?
