I've struggled with focus, organisation and productivity for as long as I can remember. Thinking back to my early childhood, my brain felt chaotic and always 'on'; as I've grown up, I've managed to (just about!) hold the threads together well enough to function.
But throw something else into the mix - tiredness (always, I have three children), stress (again, the children!), hunger, hormones - and I can easily tip back into feelings of overwhelm, causing me to drop many a ball along the way. And the worst part? People may assume that my lackadaisical attitude makes me so go-with-the-flow that missing the occasional doctor's appointment or school meeting is no big deal.
