2409: Client Case: Unblocking & Tackling (Not a Football Strategy)
It might not look great on the gridiron, but unblocking and tackling your tasks might unlock reserves of productivity stuck behind fear and uncertainty!
2406: Manage Your Time, Not Your Systems
Pete offers a case of a client struggling with task overload. Thanks to a tour of todo systems and a little handicraft, they build a new mental model for managing available time.
2307: The Trouble with Transitions: Task Switching and ADHD
It's the first in our series on transitions and we're taking on a plague of ADHD: Task Switching. The worst part? You might not even know you struggle with it!
383: Diving in to Mind Mapping
What is it that makes mind maps such a unique tool, and what do you need to learn to make mind maps that allow you to capture quickly without overwhelm?
380: How do you know when to start something new?
You're busy enough as it is. But what happens when you're offered a new project, grand opportunity, great chance to show off? How do you know if you can afford to say... yes?
366: What Happens After the Brain Dump?
Getting all those tasks out of your head is great. But what happens next? Are you really ready to take on whatever the world throws at you?
362: ADHD Time — Why Sticking to a Schedule is So Hard!
This week on the show, we start with the premise that ADHD time is different that time for many people… and that’s perfectly OK by us!
345: Is your to-do list too large?
We’ve seen a flood of comments about expectations over the last few weeks and they all seem to zero in to the same general area: the to-do list is out of hand. But it’s more complicated than just having too many things on your list.
335: What's Next on the List?
You have a terrific list of tasks. But how do you decide what to work on first?
327: Organizing What You Learn
You’re working hard to learn and grow, to discover new things and be a better person, right? But in that process, how do you catalog and internalize all things you’re learning so that you’ll be able to recall them later and use them when you need them most … even when you don’t know when that will be?
298: Time Hacks To Do Right Now! (Plus introducing Organizing Time with ADHD!)
We’re all about time today, and with good reason! Today’s the day we launch Organizing Time with ADHD, Nikki’s latest online course! We walk through the intention of the course today, and just a few of the ins and outs of what you can expect. Then we offer 10 time hacks you can implement right now that will help you get a handle on your time while living with ADHD!
297: What Are Your Time Boundaries?
Today, we’re talking all about boundaries. These are boundaries around your time, and the things you’re probably doing (and probably doing them unintentionally) that end up being destructive to your time and your ability to thrive long-term.
296: Don't Fall Into the ADHD Shame Spiral!
You start things, and then you don’t finish them. It’s the nature of being human to fall off the productivity bandwagon from time to time, but when you’re living with ADHD, what comes with unfinished tasks and projects is a feeling of overwhelm, avoidance, shame, and guilt that can cause you to drift into the shame spiral. Don’t fall for it! The ADHD Shame Spiral is a lie! This week on the show, we’re talking about the shame spiral, and how to break up your work in such a way that you’re finishing as much as you start, and you can celebrate every single accomplishment!
257: The Great Journaling & Planning Systems Review
We got a question some time ago asking about the merits of the Bullet Journal system for ADHD organizing. We’re of two minds on the subject so we thought it might be a good time to review the state of planners, planner systems, and organizing tools that span the range from shorthand scheduling to full-on works of personal art.
249: Turn Strategy into Action — Blocking and Gating your Time!
We’ve had some great questions and feedback on our last few episodes around ideal schedules. This week, we’re taking this concept a bit further. How do you take a new strategy and implement it to turn it into a lifestyle? How do you handle less desirable tasks — gating and focusing even around the stuff you really don’t want to do? How do you decide what to work on first? These are deceptively simple questions with answers that we often make more complicated than we need. We’ll do our best to untangle them on the show this week!
202: Overwhelm and Prioritizing Tolerations
This week on the show, we offer strategies for dealing with the stress of over-commitment that brings liberation and hope, too!
201: ADHD and Creating a Lifestyle to Crush your Tolerations!
It’s been nearly 100 episodes since we last talked tolerations, and we have (ahem) a lot to report. This week, we’re taking a step back to look at the impact of ADHD noise on our tolerations. We look at the positive emotional and creative impacts of building a lifestyle in which we acknowledge, cultivate, and complete our tolerations.
