Love your work Amanda! ❤️

I can’t wait to finish listening to this episode. I started it but my pesky kids interrupted me ❤️🤣 x

It’s so funny how I stumbled across this episode. I was chatting to Orla via email about an ADHD workshop and when she seen I was a designer she added me on LinkedIn. On her LinkedIn I spotted her post about this episode - I squealed when I seen the post! A podcast with Amanda Grace!? I know her!!!!! 🤣 It’s a small small world sometimes.

I finished the episode and it really really resonated with me, in a big way! I felt like Orla was talking about me 🤣🤣🤣 Using technology to help with the executive functioning difficulties that comes with ADHD just makes so much sense to me.

I feel lost without my Google calendar. And I have forgotten to collect my kids once (ok maybe twice!) before I had alarms set up to remind me. When I go into a hyper focused zone - I will get so much work done - but I will forget about what’s going on outside my computer! So bring on the assistive technology please. Although I am not a fan of how AI is taking peoples creative work without permission and using that work to build models and make money for themselves. Love the podcast Amanda ❤️

Thanks so much, Jenny. Gosh yes, that certainly is a worry. There's a lot of uncertainty with AI too, in fairness. Who knows where it will lead us?
