Ever start a new routine on Monday only to have it completely fall apart by Wednesday? You aren't lazy, and you don't need more "discipline." In this episode, host Jorie Houlihan breaks down the "Wednesday Crash" and explains why traditional planning advice fails the ADHD brain. We dive into the biology of boredom, why interest regulation matters more than attention, and the specific tools—like body doubling and dopamine menus—that actually work for neurodivergent minds.
