Tackling Transitions: How to Shift Gears Without Losing Momentum


Listen Later

Ever feel like switching tasks is harder than it should be? Like just getting out the door in the morning turns into a full-blown circus act? You’re not alone.

In this episode of ADHD Adult(ish), we’re tackling one of the toughest challenges for ADHD brains: transitions. From stopping one task to starting another, or navigating the chaos of in-between moments, transitions can feel impossible. Fortunately, there are some things we can do to help ourselves.

We'll talk about:

  • Why transitions are so challenging for ADHDers.
  • Practical, ADHD-friendly tips to make transitions smoother, including how to stop, start, and survive the in-between moments.
  • How a simple routine before a transition can make all the difference (yes, that includes packing bags the night before!).
  • That for some reason a coffee mug that says "I literally can't" is a good motivator to start work for me.

Resources Mentioned in This Episode:

  • ADHD Routine Starter Kit: A free resource to help you build routines that actually work with your ADHD brain.

Let’s Connect:

What’s your go-to transition hack? I’d love to hear it!
