Project Planning: The ADHD Way [Part 2]
In part 1 we talked about getting those crazy times under control, gaining discipline, and turning the curse of ADHD into a superpower. Part two is about the master list. On days like this when I’m cracking from energy overload and excitement for a big presentation I have coming up, I can’t focus. The master […]

Project Planning: The ADHD Way [Part 1]
Another Q from the Q&A bucket I get a lot is “How do you manage to get so much done when you have unmedicated ADHD?“ First off, I find this hilarious. Why does everyone assume that if you have ADHD you are dysfunctional? Get rid of that notion immediately because it’s bullshit. And I’m calling […]

You suffer when you have lots of busy “work”
We all dream of doing something more with our lives. You, in particular, probably plan on saving the world with your inventions, creative ideas, and research. And it would all happen, too, if you weren’t so busy. Let’s get something out in the open first: You are only as busy as you decide to be. That’s […]

Have a little faith
The title sounds odd coming from an atheist, doesn’t it? Bear with me for a few moments and hear me out before you hit the exit button. Since dropping off into depression due to my father dying, things have not been the same. Then, as I was bouncing back, I came down with the worst flu […]

When pacing restlessly is a good thing
Last week, quite literally, my personal world twisted about again. Travis came home and informed me that Tuttle Aluminium and Bronze, the place that provided our stable income, was acquired by another company a state away. In 4 months he would be without that job, and we would be without that stable income that pays the […]

Not all obstacles are worth fighting
The last few weeks have been utter hell for me, and by extension, Insanitek. Excavating my office took a week longer than it really should have. Not that I’ve found half the work stuff, but enough has been excavated to limp by. That, shockingly, is enough for now. It is what it is because the chaos […]

Science literacy and homeopathy
When I attended uni, I wanted very much to be able to share my love of science and what I was learning with the world. Thus, I decided to volunteer at a local museum called Imagination Station and sign up as a substitute teacher at the locals schools. I was young, idealistic, and frankly quite […]
The Communication Gap
How does this sound to you: We will transition integrated articulation to close the achievement gap. Or this? We will agendize multidisciplinary explicit direct instruction within professional learning communities. This is what we call bullshit jargon. It’s a word salad of impressive sounding syllables thrown together in attempt to amaze. Frankly, though, it just makes eyes glaze […]

Don’t be a wantrepreneur
The word wantrepreneur makes me wretch. It should make you wretch too. Why? Giving it a fashionable word embraced by the masses makes the mere want acceptable, but when you say it without putting forth the action to get past that want point, that’s all it will ever be. It’s fake. Mark Manson makes a point that there is […]

It’s time to grow a spine
I could spend blog post after blog post for years trying to convince you it’s not safe to be an entrepreneur, but it’s so worth the journey. There are already a million (I didn’t count) blogs out there already centred around this. Some of them are horse shit, others are not. While I could easily […]
