If you have ADHD, you probably know this pattern. You’re foggy, scattered, or stuck… until a deadline hits. Then suddenly, you’re laser-focused, productive, unstoppable. And afterwards, you’re wrecked.

In this episode, Skye and William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD unpack why hyperfocus feels like the only way to get things done, and why it quietly creates more stress, burnout, and long-term chaos than most people realize. 

Using research on university students, we explore how executive function difficulties change the way ADHD brains access focus, why more ADHD symptoms often lead to more hyperfocus (not less), and why relying on pressure is not a sustainable strategy, even if it looks productive on the surface. 

This episode is for late-diagnosed adults, professionals, and business owners with ADHD who keep asking themselves: 

“Why do I only function when everything’s urgent?” 

“And why does it always cost me afterwards?” 

What we cover:

- Why hyperfocus shows up most when things feel critical or overwhelming 
- How executive function difficulties push ADHD brains into last-minute intensity 
- The difference between intense focus and sustainable focus 
- How hyperfocus borrows energy from your future self 
- What this pattern means for productivity, stress, and burnout long-term

P.S. If your ADHD symptoms turn every business day into chaos—unfinished tasks piling up, revenue stuck, systems that don't stick—it's not you. It's your operating system. We help service business owners unblock their next $50-500k with simple systems that focus their brain. Watch this video to see how we do it, then take the program walkthrough.
