Hacking Your ADHD

Slowing Down: Time Management


Listen Later

Hey team, this week we're going to be talking about slowing down. One of the worst parts of ADHD is that we often feel like we have to do all of the things right now. That if we don't jump from task to task to task, we're just not going to get anything done. We live a life where we only have two modes, doing nothing and super speed. It's exhausting, and we often find ourselves missing important things because we can't keep up that pace.

In today's episode, we're going to be talking about how we can work on slowing down and trying to find a more comfortable middle ground between those two modes.
