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. 😂

If you struggle with ADHD procrastination, task initiation, executive dysfunction, perfectionism, getting motivated, or following through on your plans, this episode will give you practical strategies you can try today.
