You quoted me and linked my new blog and I’m tickled pink. With ADHD, also caused by lack of dopamine, there are definite issues with time management and understanding how time works. With Parkinson’s some of the same executive functioning issues might apply. Lack of sleep certainly doesn’t help nor does being in constant pain. I’d say so much more but I’m saving that for another blog post lol. Big hugs to you Emma!!
I'm in procrastination mode, and also I'm too busy doing a million other things called the school holidays and I have a 6 year old but still feels like excuses to do anything but write. So familiar with the where did the time go thing and how do I get anything done feelings. Apparently dopamine and blinking are our time moderators but I don't know how/ the specifics. Why does everything seem to need dopamine goddamit?!
As I recall, if you have small children, the hours between 4 and 6pm seem to last forever in the winter. And blinking . .. seriously? A consultant said to me “you don’t blink enough.” Apparently that’s a Parkinson’s thing. So if blinking is a time moderator, all the Parky people must be way off

School holidays have a habit of demotivating even with dopamine 😅 I know, right?! Why can't it all be run on good wine...
Hee hee. My daughter rates me as a good mummy when I'm 100% devoted to her - playing and doing what she wants.
Tiny tyrants!

Let's float! It's tough to know what to do, the present is probably the best solution xxx
