It's The ADHD-Friendly Show | Personal Growth, Well-being and Productivity for Distractible Minds

I tried slowing down but my ADHD brain wasn't having it

RESOURCES MENTIONED

  • Function Health comprehensive lab panel I used

  • My weekly planning video


  • I tried to “slow down” because I was bored with my work… and it actually made me feel worse. In this video I share what six weeks of experimenting taught me about ADHD boredom cycles, nervous system dysregulation, and why rest can feel unsafe when your brain is stuck in go-mode.

    • Why boredom hits every few years and makes us want to blow up our lives

    • When “slow living” spikes anxiety instead of easing it

    • The labs that clarified what was physiological vs psychological

    • Gentle routines that actually helped my energy and mood

    • How I’m rebuilding structure without white-knuckling productivity

    • A kinder way to decide what to keep, tweak, or let go

    This video is for you if…

    • You’re ADHD-ish and get bored with your work on a 2–5 year cycle

    • Rest makes you antsy and you “can’t not do things”

    • You suspect stress hormones are part of the picture

    • You want calm structure and momentum without burning out

    • You crave more humanity online and less performative hustle
