Building Workflows


Listen Later

Hey there, ADHD-ers! In the latest installment of The ADHD Podcast, Pete and Nikki are tackling the world of workflows. You know, those magical sequences of steps that take you from start to finish on any given task or project. And let's be real, who couldn't use a little more structure in their life?

The dynamic duo is all about ditching the stuffy term "routine" in favor of the more flexible "workflow." Because let's face it, rigidity and ADHD don't exactly go hand in hand. Pete even shares his own tried-and-true workflow for podcasting, complete with a handy-dandy checklist that keeps him on track and error-free.

But workflows aren't just for work, my friends. Nikki's quick to point out that they can be a game-changer for tackling everyday tasks like managing your email inbox. The key is to identify those areas of your life where a little extra organization could go a long way.

Now, if the thought of creating a workflow has you breaking out in hives, fear not! Pete and Nikki have got you covered with tips on everything from flowcharts to mind maps. And the best part? Perfection is totally overrated. Just start simple and let iteration be your guide.

So, whether you're looking to up your productivity game at work or just trying to keep your head above water in your personal life, this episode of The ADHD Podcast is not to be missed. Tune in and learn how to create workflows that work for you and your unique ADHD brain. Trust me, your future self will thank you.
