@Noodlehen Thank you, that's very kind! I don't really think of it as a skill - it's just a hobby that I enjoy.
My ADHD brain loves challenges and learning new things, so I've done lots of completely different jobs since I left school at 17, and I definitely haven't followed any kind of career path. I've always made the most of the many opportunities I've had, though, and I'm an expert on 'faking it until I make it' whenever it's time to do something new :)
I decided in October (in one of my highly impulsive moments) that I was going to design and build my own software product for schools. Ten months of extreme hyper-focus later, and it's about to hit the market in time for the new academic year. Which is all very exciting but also a bit daunting if I let myself think about it too much (I try not to!). My previous 40 years of extremely varied work experience meant I was able to do everything all by myself: design the software, project-manage the development, create a limited company, do all the graphic design and brand identity, plan a marketing and social media campaign, write and design all my own marketing materials and build the website.
My lovely DH and my sister both died far too young, but even before that, I had a 'life is short' attitude. I try to squeeze as much into mine as I possibly can. My children are starting their own adult lives and adventures now, so I thought I'd take a risk and do something really big this time. Hopefully, my software will be a big success, but if not, maybe I'll start another new career - finding missing people and solving mysteries :)
