I Got Issues
We all got issues. I just happen to issue mine daily. And today I need to share this one. Since doing an email once a day, it has caused me to have the feeling of being productive. This is the folly, it’s faux productivity. My ADHD is telling me all I need to do is finish is one simple email and I’ve done my work for the day.
If I get my email scheduled for 4:20, I feel like I and be done, like I’ve accomplished some important task by ranting to strangers. I don’t even proofread what I write, I just turn in the assignment and then sit back and kick my boots off.
Don’t take this as if I’m a complete non-contributing zero on the planet. I have been somewhat productive in other areas of my life like recreation, travel, and family time. However, the majority my of limited attention has only been going towards finishing these simple words each day.
This fixation and attention to one thing would be more impressive if the daily practice yielded monetary value. I can say that writing yields emotional value and mental wellness for me. I meet great people through my posts. But there is no financial gain, making it a hobby, I guess.
If anyone wants to join me as a fellow hobbyist, I want to make the 420 News open to many more authors and ideas. I don’t think it should ever have ads or monetize. If you want to help on editing or writing or even gatherings, please reply and let’s share the hobby in 2025. I want to rename and rebrand, too.
Happy 420 (this one went out Pacific Time)

I got targeted on social to buy this hat today. Care Bears made for good times for my single digit years growing up. This one seems like the care bear that would have enjoyed my ramblings at 4:20;)
