Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition including attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness.

    Hustle culture has been rampant in popular culture for the last decade from entrepreneurs, music, TV, and famous social media voices. Now, with the rise of slower living, quiet quitting, and self-care, a counter-culture movement is gaining steam as people opt out of chasing success in traditional means and opt into slower-paced lives.
