A Charm for Making Life Interesting

2022 and October 30, 2024

This project was created in an effort to stimulate my ADHD into working for me, instead of against me. Throughout my life I struggled with executive disfunction, and it has always been easier for me to do something if it is actually fun for me. The image below shows an open journal spread with a collage-style layout. The left page features a "Daily Play" calendar, floral and celestial stickers, and a glass bottle sticker with two mini tarot cards layered within the bottle, Strength and The Fool. The right page is titled "Charm for Making Life Interesting" and includes four elements that can be motivating factors to getting something done: New, Challenging, Interesting, and Urgent. In hindsight, I would switch out the word "Interesting" with the word "Fun." The right page is also decorated with author quotes, artsy stickers, and elements centered around the theme of making life more engaging, creative, and colorful.
