My family calls me hurricane Ariana. When I get into any project, whether it’s operational or just cleaning the pantry, it diverges into chaos, so I can find the patterns, in order to put it all back together in a better way. Kind of like Sherlock’s mind palace.
Although my family says it as a term of endearment, it’s also a loving warning to one another that I’ve got tunnel vision for whatever I’m doing and it’s best to give me some space.
I remember, one of my co-workers used to describe me as a wind up toy. Turn the dial and I go, go, go until the gears stop, then I’m unable to function. This hyperfocus is my superhero power, but it’s also my curse. It’s gotten me to where I am today, but it’s also caused migraines, panic attacks, inflammation, and strains in relationships. It has been, by far, the greatest contributor to any burnout I’ve had over the years.
