NOTES FROM ARTEMIS’S WORKTABLE

Things I learned while making the tools behave.

Practical notes on technology, AI, fiberarts, creative work, and building a business with a brain that doesn’t always move in straight lines.

Come in. Poke around. Try not to lick anything.

Everybody Wants Community. Nobody Says Hello.

We have more ways to meet people than ever. So why do good conversations so often end in silence? A funny, curious look at community and belonging.

AI-generated content isn’t what annoys me most. It’s artificial authority, hollow expertise and a web where the robots sometimes seem to be talking only to each other.

Two illustrated versions of Artemis, both with curly brown hair, a silver streak and teal glasses, smile at one another across a table in the autumn Secret Lair Publishing Den. One wears a white embroidered blouse and the other a purple T-shirt. Between them, the title reads 'I Wish I'd Met Me Back Then'.

I Wish I’d Met Me Back Then

I loved making and teaching fiber arts. It was the businessing that kept derailing me. Here’s what looking back through an ADHD lens taught me to ask before giving up.

Illustrated Artemis, with curly brown hair and teal glasses, gestures toward a large sign in her autumn lakeside Publishing Den. The sign reads, “The Point Isn’t to Save Time. It’s to Get Things Done.” Below it: “ADHD, cognitive overload, and why I’m making my tools do some of the damn work.” The cozy TechAlchemy Village studio features books, a publishing planner, and poppies.

I love writing. Publishing was the problem. Here’s how ADHD, cognitive load, and a few practical systems changed how I run my business.

Illustrated Artemis in teal glasses and a purple ‘I kayak so I don’t kill people’ shirt sits by an autumn lakeside cinema. The headline asks ‘Was That a Productive Rabbit Hole, or Did I Just Lose Two Days?’ Her rabbit-hole test asks what she’s getting, what it’s costing, and what’s enough for now. A note reads ‘What I did. What’s next.’ A witch-hatted frog holds a ring, and a banner invites readers to Practical Magic on October 31 at 1 p.m. Eastern.

Was That a Productive Rabbit Hole, or Did I Just Lose Two Days?

Two days building a cinema, then a client intake plugin. Was it a productive rabbit hole or procrastination? Three questions and two simple breadcrumbs help me find my way back.

I went looking for a better break. Naturally, I built a diner.

My quick breaks have produced an Obsidian database and a whole campground. This time, I built a dopamine menu for ADHD inside TechAlchemy Village: colour, writing, silly questions and little TakeAway Specials to help us step away, have some fun, and come back.
