Hacking Your ADHD

Too Much (rebroadcast)

Over the last few weeks, I have hit a number of points where it all just felt like too much - now there are a number of things that have contributed to this, but one of the keys always behind when I get overwhelmed is doing too much. This is despite the fact that even when I have too much on my plate it always feels like I should be doing more. That I could squeeze in just a few more things and then… well then I'd probably also still be trying to add more things to do.

In today's episode, we're going to be exploring why doing more isn't usually the best thing for us to pursue and how doing less can actually help us actually accomplish the things we really want to do.
