My boss, Leonie has been selling their Goal Getter Books since October, and they were on sale until January 15th! It’s been an…
Okay so. The first thing you should know is that I have ADHD. When I was originally diagnosed in 2017, it was, ohhh idk, 80-90% managed by having a structured routine. The other 20% was medication, taken as needed. Oh the freedom. I worked at a restaurant as a waitress, I was doing bits of…
