Ever feel like you've made a million decisions before lunchtime?

What to wear. What to eat. What to work on first. What's for dinner. And approximately 47 other things that need your attention before the day is over.

When you're an ADHD mom juggling a business, home, and family life, all those little decisions can add up and leave you feeling mentally exhausted.

But what if you could make fewer decisions in the first place?

In this episode of The ADHD Mompreneur Podcast, I'm sharing three simple, ADHD-friendly strategies to reduce the number of everyday decisions you make so you can conserve your mental energy for more important (or more enjoyable!) things.

We'll talk about:

🍳 Simplifying your meals: How rotating favorite meals, creating go-to options, and building reusable meal plans can help you make fewer decisions about what to eat.

👕 Streamlining your wardrobe: Why daily uniforms, capsule wardrobes, and planning outfits ahead of time can make getting dressed easier.

📅 Creating simple routines: How following the same steps in the same order can reduce the mental effort of figuring out what comes next.

We don't have to eliminate every decision. We just need to streamline where we can.

Ever start with a simple task and somehow turn it into a 27-step project? 😵‍💫 If you have ADHD, you may find yourself adding steps, options, research, or a little extra pizzazz…only to make the task harder to actually start.

In this episode, I’m talking about why ADHD brains may overcomplicate or “complexify” tasks and projects, and how executive function challenges, perfectionism, dopamine, and our need for stimulation can all play a role.

More importantly, I’m sharing 3 ADHD-friendly strategies to stop overcomplicating and start making progress:

⏱️ Set a timer to keep planning, researching, refining, or perfecting from taking over.

👍 Build confidence in “OK” by recognizing the times when you’ve done the simpler version and it really was good enough.

🧠 Find simultaneous stimulation by giving your ADHD brain something engaging while you work instead of making the task itself more complicated.

The next time you catch yourself adding more steps, more options, or more pizzazz, ask yourself: What is the simplest means to an end?

Sometimes making progress with ADHD isn’t about finding a better or more elaborate system. It’s about simplifying the task and reducing the executive function demands standing between you and getting started.

Do you know what you need to do, actually want to do it...but still can’t seem to get started?

Getting started with ADHD can be hard. Sometimes the problem isn’t motivation. It could be there's too much friction between you and taking that first step.

In this episode, ADHD executive function and accountability coach Christy Lingo shares 3 ADHD-friendly ways to reduce friction, overcome task initiation struggles, and make it easier to get started.

We’ll talk about:

→ How to stop looking at the entire task and find your next small step

→ How changing your environment can make ADHD task initiation easier → Why making something easier can work better than trying harder

→ How perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking can create even more friction

→ Using the Good, Better, Best approach to lower expectations without giving up on progress

And you'll hear why moving my spin bike from the garage to my bedroom made the difference between wanting to exercise and actually doing it. Yes, apparently 20 feet was too far. 😂
