Creative Chaos & Good Vibes: My Current Obsessions Keeping Me Sane
Current status: Somewhere between thriving and forgetting what day it is.
(Honestly, both are valid.)
Being a creative solopreneur with an ADHD/neurospicy brain is a wild ride.
Some days I'm out here like a visionary genius. Other days I'm congratulating myself for remembering to eat lunch. (Spoiler: It was 3 bites of cold pizza standing over the sink, but WE MOVE.)
Honestly?
It’s vibes > perfection around here. Always has been. Always will be.
Life Lately: A Quick Vibe Check
This season of life feels like building an empire with sticky notes, blind optimism, and an alarming amount of coffee.
Some days I’m in full flow state. Other days, I’m one minor inconvenience away from launching my laptop into the sun. As a matter of fact, my laptop died on me and I JUST had to get a new one.
✨ Creative chaos is the energy.
✨ Tiny wins are the gold stars.
✨ Resting and recharging are productivity tools — not luxuries.
Things I'm Loving (aka my current Survival Kit)
Here’s a little roundup of the stuff keeping me functional(ish) and vibing lately:
🧠 Brain Hack: The "Two-Minute Task Rule"
If it takes less than 2 minutes, I do it immediately before my brain can convince me it’s Everest.
(Ex: Respond to that email. Refill your water. Put socks on your actual feet.)
🎧 Work Soundtrack:
My workflow playlist (with a heavy dose of soul, R&B, and lo-fi beats)
Occasional chaotic playlist that screams, "You have 72 hours to live out your dreams."
Basically bouncing between a chill day and final boss battle energy.
🛠️ Tools I Swear By (Today, Anyway):
TickTick: For the illusion of having my life together.
Google Keep: For random 2AM ideas like “start a sticker line for neurospicy humans.”
Notion: Because I need a Sales CRM. I’m not a numbers kid.
☕ Tiny Joys Keeping Me Alive:
Iced coffee…or hot coffee. Just give it to me.
Late-night Pinterest rabbit holes labeled "business research" (it’s a lie and I’m fine with it).
Impeccable playlists.
One good laugh a day = therapy.
A Real Moment: Creative Chaos is NORMAL
If you're reading this and feeling like you're "too messy" or "too all over the place" to build the life you want — please know:
You’re not broken.
Your brain is just wired for fireworks, not spreadsheets.
Success isn’t reserved for the most organized.
It belongs to the dreamers who stay stubborn enough to keep going — messy desks, impulsive ideas, existential dread and all.
We don’t need to "fix" ourselves to create incredible things.
We just need to trust that our chaos has magic in it.
