planner chat: life updates, mental health check-in + some ADHD thoughts in my hobonichi cousin

Hi, friends!

In this video, I’ll share some life updates and my experience tinkering around with my Pilot Vanishing Point (fine nib), thanks to Wendi Sue from ‪@FountainPenNews‬. Not only did she send me some brass shims, but she talked me through how to use them and sent me some video examples to give me the confidence to using them with my pen on my own! Thank you, Wendi Sue!

I share an update on how I’ve been feeling lately and how I’ve been using my #hobonichicousin and #hobonichiweeks to reflect on what’s going on and consider how to move forward.

I also talk about an interesting article (Hatak et al., 2021) that I read that explores the differences between successful and less successful entrepreneurs with ADHD.
