Your ADHD Besties

33. Is procrastination a DIRTY WORD for ADHDers?


Listen Later

Hello, stunning ND brains! Ready to join us for some juicy ADHD dilem lems while sipping your metaphorical (or literal) white wine in the sun?

In this week's dilemma, a newly diagnosed ADHD mum asks for help. She's trying to build her dream Etsy shop but keeps getting sucked into hyperfixation rabbit holes on her computer (cute), and is feeling frustrated at her lack of productivity. Sound familiar?

We discuss:

  • Unconscious Scrolling: It’s not laziness; it’s unmet needs tapping us on the shoulder. 👀
  • Dysregulation 101: Why we’re stuck in the rinse-and-repeat cycle of procrastination—and how to spot it while it’s happening.
  • Sensory Needs FTW: Sometimes, focus is just one pair of noise-cancelling glasses (huh?) away. Who knew?
  • Body Doubling Magic: Find a bestie (or a stranger on FocusMate) to miraculously unlock your productivity. Mirror neurons for the win, baby.

Grace’s Pearls of Wiz:

Grace reads from her upcoming book, The ADHD Focus Friend (Pre-Order it here!) dropping gems like:

“At its core, procrastination is resistance. Part of us wants to move ahead with a goal, but other (louder) parts are pumping the brakes because they don't have all the information, security or emotional reassurance they need."


IREGGY SEGGY:

We're playing our second round of 2 truths and a lie, or if we're Tara, are we (yet again... accidentally) playing 2 lies and a truth?? 

RECS:

  • Tara is recommending the Christmas song: White Wine in the Sun by Tim Minchin, and bonus rec: Storm on YouTube.
  • Grace is recommending 'Neurodivergent Birthdays' (inspired by ADHD influencer Ellie Midds!)

Don’t RSD even if you think you’re allowed to just this once, you’re actually not. Okay?

Also join our Patreon (because cute!) and that's where we'll be dropping that sensory needs poster download soon! 👀

Sending alll the love!
