170. All or Nothing Thinking in Individuals with ADHD

Impact of All or Nothing Thinking For entrepreneurs, all-or-nothing thinking reflects in areas such as time management, task prioritization, and perfectionism. This mindset can lead to a constant battle with scheduling disruptions, forgetting tasks, and dealing with an overload of responsibilities. Moreover, the pursuit of perfection can become a hindrance, either by demanding specific conditions before embarking on a task, or needing tasks to be perfect before presenting them to the world. Amber discusses the impacts of this mindset in the world of business, pinpointing perfectionism as a common stumbling block for entrepreneurs with ADHD. She talks about 'front end' and 'back end' perfectionism that puts unnecessary pressure and hampers progress. She also touches on the effects of this pattern on executive functioning, leading to struggles with time management, task prioritization, and back-to-back commitments.
