What Even Is Productivity Anymore? | Episode 4


Listen Later

This episode unpacks productivity for ADHDers—how it gets twisted by capitalism, tangled with self-worth, and buried under guilt, shame, and burnout. But what if productivity isn’t about doing more? What if it’s about doing less… better?

We unpack:

  • 🧠 Efficiency ≠ effectiveness: ADHD brains thrive when we do less, smarter—not more, faster.
  • 300% or 0%: Why consistency is a myth, and fluctuation is normal.
  • 🛠️ Wrong tools, wrong shame: Planners are hammers. ADHD needs screwdrivers.
  • 🔁 Maintenance hell: Laundry isn’t a task. It’s a lifestyle.
  • 🧍‍♀️ Death dread & doctor calls: When executive dysfunction feels life-or-death.
  • 🌿 Active rest: Rest is productive—but only if we redefine it for our brains.

🎧 Honest, chaotic, and full of emotional mic drops—this ep is for anyone who’s ever felt broken by their to-do list.

If you’ve ever burned out, spiraled, or cried while folding socks—you’re gonna feel this one.—
