Find it really weird when you’re in a restaurant and they ask you if you have any allergies, to which you reply “yes” and list them. Then they say, “they’re not on my allergy list” and shrug, then go away, as if that means they don’t exist and nothing can be done 🤨

Let's make AI jealous. Write what Al can't touch. Humans can think with their heads, hearts, and bodies. Try moving your hands. It's fine if your mind remains a jumble. Ideas scattered across the paper. Sometimes they connect by chance, and something new is born.

…but I want to try some of these things now, too. And puzzles, getting stuck into a good book or doing a puzzle to keep the mind busy. I think the running/gym thing is good, too, because the winter months feel so awful when they make you think you can’t move your body 😕

Thank you for asking this question! Navigating similar issues myself at the mo. Loving some of these answers. I think in the past (prior to being diagnosed), the things that helped me the most were putting up fairy lights (way before Christmas), going for walks through crunchy leaves, hot chocolate

Something that I do love about working from home is the ability to do an impromptu dance to an absolute TUNE while writing ✍🏻🎵🎧🪩 and no-one but your intrigued (and slightly concerned) husband is there to judge 😅

It’s weird, but I found working on a plane - in a crowded middle seat - of all places a really good place to work 😅🤨 there are no distractions (for my brain, at least - there are tons all around). You can stick some noise cancelling headphones on and just plough on through…

If I was proofing something like that, I’d say around £150 for the whole thing. That’s based on 3 hours work - if I then continued working with that person doing proof work, it might be a bit lower, if it’s not as time consuming.

Love it when Siri plays ‘Louise Essentials’ for me when the littles want to listen to Bluey 👍🏻 you’d think it’d learn with the frequency of things you search for. Same with Maps - it should look at your locality and your previous search history, surely 🤷🏻‍♀️
