The Variance

I want to say something before I get into the science. I’ve watched people blame themselves for struggling in the kitchen. Good cooks. Experienced cooks. Their hands hurt, they’re slower than they used to be, and they assume that’s just what happens — you get older, things get harder, you adapt. They work around the tool instead of asking whether the tool is the problem. It is. The tool is the problem. Why Standard Kitchen Knives Cause Wrist Pain and Joint Strain Here’s what’

There's a concept in Aikido and other Japanese martial arts called shugyo. It doesn't translate cleanly into English, and I

A question pulled straight from Reddit — and an approach that the ADHD community usually won't give you. I pulled this question off Reddit recently. “I constantly am about 30 minutes to an hour late to everything, especially during the morning and I’m close to being fired. Every morning I get desperate and just can’t move. I even cry sometimes yet everyone thinks I’m just lazy.” If this is you — or someone you know — the struggle is real. But the answer most people give isn’t

A label does not change the contents and it will not be answer to everything. I use the word ADHD because it’s the common language. Not because I accept the disorder framework.

It’s coming from a mismatch between how I’m built and systems that weren’t built for me. I’m not a clinician. Eve
