People with ADHD often want to be more productive. They read the books, attend the seminars, try the latest systems, and collect strategies that promise to transform their lives. Yet somehow, all that knowledge doesn’t always translate into actually getting more done. In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, ADHD coach Jeff Copper (https://digcoaching.com) talks with productivity coach Cathy Rashidian (https://readysetchoose.com) about what productivity really means—and why knowing how to be productive doesn’t necessarily mean you can do it consistently.

If you’ve tried system after system and still find yourself asking, “Why can’t I be more productive?” this conversation may provide the missing insights that help you understand what’s really getting in your way.
