Unknowns…

Ever find yourself avoiding a random bag of tangled cables, an unopened email, or a vague gig brief that’s been sitting in your inbox for days? You are not lazy. You are not disorganised. Your brain is simply doing what it does best when faced with uncertainty, protecting you from the unknown.

For ADHDers and creatives, “unknowns” often sneak in as clutter (physical, digital, or emotional), and they can trigger a powerful freeze or avoidance response. But what if one clear answer, one solid detail, could shift everything?

This blog explores how uncertainty hijacks creative energy, how it shows up in our everyday lives (hello, chair of despair), and what practical, compassionate steps we can take to turn confusion into clarity.
