Are you stuck in an endless loop of putting way too many tasks on your to-do list for the day, thereby overwhelming yourself with how much needs to be done, getting stuck on the couch wasting the day away unable to start on anything because you don’t know where to start so you just don’t, eventually going to bed having done absolutely nothing from said to-do list, feeling shitty and guilty about it, only to repeat it the very next day, having apparently learned nothing?

Samesies, which is why this episode we’re trying our best to explain what ADHD paralysis is and giving you our best tips and tricks for getting unstuck and into motion during those times when you’re facing down your own wall of awful/brick of waffle. This topic may not be dear to our hearts, but it is certainly near, so come join us as we teach you how to trick yourself like a child into getting started.
