Listen Later

You get the planner. You find the groove. You’re in flow… until you’re not. And suddenly you're crashing harder than your to-do list can handle.In this episode of AvyHD, we break down the start-stop cycle that so many ADHD and neurodivergent folks live in: bursts of brilliance followed by burnout and guilt. I’ll walk you through why this pattern exists, how your brain chemistry plays a role, and what actually helps you build trust and momentum without self-sabotage.We’ll cover:• The neuroscience behind the sprint/crash loop• Time Tuning: a tool that respects your actual energy• Creating energy-tiered to-do lists• Recovery blocks that prevent burnout• The “Marble Theory” of building trust with yourself• Why tiny steps > huge bursts (even when it’s boring)You don’t need more motivation. You need a system that works with you — not against you.Watch the full Time Workshop replay here: https://youtube.com/live/d0T-UvlwQF4?feature=share
