In this episode of ADHD Support Talk Radio, co-hosts Tara McGillicuddy and Lynne Edris discuss how perfectionism, especially common in adults with ADHD, can derail productivity, time management, and self-care. They introduce the concept of intentional mediocrity—a strategy to help ADHD adults break free from all-or-nothing thinking and reduce overwhelm. Lynne shares practical tools for recognizing perfectionism traps and teaches listeners how to embrace "good enough" to get more done with less stress. Tara highlights how ADHD impacts decision-making and time blindness, and how focusing on what’s truly important can make daily tasks, projects, and even self-care more manageable. Learn how shifting your mindset and embracing intentional mediocrity can empower you to navigate life with ADHD, leaving behind the perfectionism that holds you back!
