ADHD Crash Course

Ep 113. I Can't Get Started! Procrastination, Why Just Do It Doesn't Work (and When It Can)


Listen Later

Struggling with procrastination and wondering if you should “eat the frog” or start small?

 In this video, I break down two opposite but equally powerful strategies to help ADHD brains get unstuck and get going, without shame or burnout.

As an ADHD coach and occupational therapist, I help late-diagnosed adults with ADHD use simple, compassionate strategies that actually work with their brains (not against them).

We’ll explore:

- Why “just do it” doesn’t work for ADHDers (but also how it sometimes can)
- How to know when to tackle the hardest task first (aka “Eat the Frog”)
- When to go for low-hanging fruit to build momentum 
- The real reasons we procrastinate (hint: it’s not laziness!)
- How to stay curious and use your energy wisely

Whether you're stuck on starting your workday, avoiding that one annoying phone call, or just tired of spinning your wheels, you'll learn how to: 
 ✅ Identify what kind of support YOU need
 ✅ Avoid “procrastivity” (getting busy to avoid discomfort)
 ✅ Work with your nervous system, not against it
