Bi-polar Disorder

Planning, without taking into account my fluctuating energy, was always going to fail, leaving me feeling frustrated and quietly eroding my confidence. So this week I stopped planning by days and times altogether. No Monday goals. No hourly schedules. No long to-do lists that silently judged me. Instead, I started planning around energy zones. I’ve only been doing this for a few days — but the impact has been immediate.

This week I look at why redefining your goals isn't failure and the importance of knowing your own limitations. I didn’t write a Week 10 blog. Not because I forgot. Not because I was busy. Not because I was lazy. I didn’t write it because I didn’t have anything to say. I still felt sad, overwhelmed, and broken. Nothing seemed to be changing. Writing a blog about “nothing happening” felt pointless — so I avoided it. And if I’m honest, this week doesn’t feel all that different.
