Well, hello there. It's Morgan here and welcome to today's episode, which is for the one who may be

struggling with focusing on the bigger picture. So focusing on the bigger picture, focusing on the larger

picture, that's something that gets said a lot is something that I personally say a lot. However,

there are areas in my life for that. It's just really hard to do. And I have a very hard time zooming out and trying to see some

larger thing. And what I'm kind of arguing in this episode through just my personal experience,

but also some other things that I've read and I

just want to show those with you is that maybe maybe maybe we don't always need to focus on

the larger picture so I'm going to explain what I mean by that and I have to tell you a little

bit of where I've been and what I've been kind of dealing with to arrive at this.

So one of the most common questions that I get about the work that I do is why and also how do I

share my work so often. And I'm also also asked some variation of this. Why don't I just work on a larger essay or a video or

some larger body of work and just post weekly or monthly instead of trying to do all the little

bits every day? So the short answer is that I've tried that, but it just

doesn't work for me. And breaking down what I'm doing into smaller pieces just feels more natural.

And a lot of this has to do with the fact that I'm autistic and I have ADHD.

So this can be really difficult, though, because I do also have this fear that I'm bothering

people with my work by not doing a collective essay every week or every month.

I really, really wish that that was something that

felt natural for me to do. And as a result of this, I've considered sharing less many times because

I fear clogging people's feeds or taking up too much space and I get very insecure about sharing in this way,

even though it feels natural to me. However, there has been an image that has really helped me find peace amidst all of this, and that is the image of a paintbrush.

And I want to just share with you a little bit of why that image has been valuable to me.
