ADHD task paralysis can really take us down.
Mind mapping is THE tool for maximizing how our creative brains work, while minimizing our challenges with executive functioning. It's a non-linear method of getting your thoughts out of your head and into a form you can look at, organize, make plans, and prioritize.
In this episode we'll cover an often overwhelming task: where to start when attempting to tidy up a messy home office. We'll go through, step-by-step, how to create your action plan using mind mapping so you'll arrive at a simple checklist that can be followed over the span of a few sessions.

Many of us have not taken the time to learn what our specific nervous system needs to function optimally. We tend to compare ourselves to others who aren’t wired the same way we are, pushing past our limits to catch up, often leaving us dysregulated, overwhelmed, and burnt out.
In this episode, we’ll explore how to overcome analysis paralysis, decision fatigue, and "overthinking." We'll discuss why these challenges common for people with ADHD, and most importantly, we'll cover road-tested tips and tools that will make your decision-making process far more streamlined.
With ADHD, procrastination is our prime nemesis. If a task is not stimulating or urgent, it gets forgotten about, pushed out, or endlessly plagues us with guilt because we can't seem to get it done. All of this can create an immense amount of suffering and low self-esteem.
