Pressing Pause

#160 A formula for managing your own inconsistency


Listen Later

Something I hear ADHDers talking about a lot is how frustrating they find their own inconsistency. How one day, or week, you’re focused, productive, you’re ticking things off, making great progress, firing on all cylinders, getting things done.

But then the next day, seemingly out of the blue, you’re completely unfocused, you don’t know what to do next, you can’t summon the energy or motivation or brain power to do any of the things you were doing and generally just faff around not getting anywhere.

It’s infuriating and feeds into an old story we’ve taken on that we can’t be relied upon, that we can’t rely on ourselves because of our inconsistency.

In this episode I share what’s really going on here and a three-step formula for how to deal with what is seen as inconsistency and erratic energy.
