ep 186: Should I Quit or Just Take a Break? The ADHD Struggle with Consistency


Listen Later

0:45 – 2:00 | Why ADHD Brains Often Quit Too Soon

* The cycle of starting strong, then dropping off

* Chasing novelty + dopamine

* Misinterpreting pauses as failure


2:00 – 4:00 | Do You Actually Need Something New? (Probably Not.)

* Life doesn’t stay perfect, routines get disrupted

* The choice: return or restart

* Example: what would happen if you switched podcast topics constantly?


4:00 – 5:45 | Take a Break on Purpose

* Personal example: meal planning fatigue

* Instead of starting a new system, choose to pause

* No shame, just rest


5:45 – 6:45 | Consistency ≠ Perfection

* Consistency is about coming back, not doing it flawlessly

* Reframing the break

* Questions to ask when returning:

* What was working?

* What wasn’t?

* Do I need to tweak or reset?


6:45 – 7:30 | Wrap-Up & Call to Connect

* Reminder: you’re not failing—just human
