Show Notes
In today’s episode, I talk to my friend Dr. Ari Tuckman about ADHD and Productivity. Ari has been working in the field of ADHD for over 25 years. He’s part of the leadership team for the International Conference on ADHD, speaks all over the world, and is the author of five books on ADHD, including his latest, The ADHD Productivity Manual.Ari and I talk about the essential challenges of ADHD and productivity. We discuss the importance of managing your environment (including screens), the benefit of doing things in ways that work better for ADHD brains even if they’re atypical, why getting clear on why we’re doing the thing can help us get it done, and how our relationship to productivity affects the way we present ourselves to the world.
