You've been calling yourself bad at task switching for so long it's started to feel like a fact. And the evidence keeps stacking up: the hyperfocus sessions that run three hours past when you need to stop, the transitions that take so much mental energy you'd rather just stay in one thing until it's done. This episode is for the adult with ADHD who suspects there's more going on beneath that label than a skill gap.

I walk through what's driving ADHD task switching struggles, why the cycle of going hard until you crash is a nervous system pattern rather than a productivity problem, and what starts to shift when you work on regulation instead of just the behavior. If ADHD transitions, all-or-nothing thinking, or the boom-bust cycle feel familiar, this one's worth your time.
