Welcome to my new newsletter "ADHD and company". In this inaugural edition, I pay the obligatory obeisance to Ganesha and set the context for the rest of the newsletter.
I could relate to all of it - the flow, the non-finisher, extreme focus. I recently came across this tweet from ADHDJesse - "My time is 50% not working, 50% frantically trying to make up for the not working part". Keep it coming!
I've been thinking to write to you (on twitter) but since you've reached me (via substack) I will write it down here.
I actually read your 2019 article on 'type of batsmen' and had mentally noted it as 'good classification' but did not appreciate you directly.
It is 2023, I am playing cricket occasionally on the weekends with colleagues and I am recommended to install an app so that it is easier to track scores. I install it and notice the batsmen classification the first thing (as I envy the big hitters records in my cricket team)
So, hey Karthik, even if I did not appreciate you then, your work has come back to pinch me. It classifies me as a 'classicist' and man am I struggling to move out of that classification !
But that was a good one mate! And I hope too see more of such insights from you. Cheers!
Super like. Thanks for writing this, Karthik. I enjoy reading whatever you write.
Nice start - keep them coming!

Interesting read! Could totally relate to the comments on the math booklet in particular :)
