#Today I'm getting my act together in the studio, to produce a cover version of a favourite song for my dear love to sing to, in a couple of weeks time at a local show.

There will be no #procrastination, #impostorSyndrome, #selfDoubt or anything remotely #neurodiverse getting in the way, for I have spoken!

Please cheer this frustrated musician along a bit; so much to offer, so long held back by #executive #dysfunction

May nothing get in your way either 🫶 🧠 🎵

Let's all thank magman Mike for installing the first of many OCD detector devices in #birkenhack

So work moved me to a new team, assigned me only one project not already on the Kanban and then cancelled the meeting that was going to give me the only direction for today.
