If you live in a constant loop of “I am so overwhelmed” and “I’ll do it later,” this episode is for you. I am breaking down why ADHD brains get stuck in overwhelm and procrastination, what is actually going on behind the scenes with your executive function, and the specific behaviors that changed everything for me.
We talk about the shame spiral that comes with never feeling caught up, why procrastination is not technically an ADHD symptom but shows up constantly, and how time blindness, low interest tasks and emotional dysregulation all team up to derail your day.
Then I walk you through practical tools you can use right away, including a simple time awareness experiment, how to externalize your time management with alarms and prompts, and how to build a weekly planning rhythm that actually works for your ADHD brain. This is a small taste of what I teach inside my Distraction to Action productivity framework.
If you want to feel less overcommitted, stop resenting your “past self” for saying yes, and finally know what to do with that never ending list of projects, press play.
