Refined Leadership - ADHD Lens

Why we struggle with starting and finishing tasks with ADHD | Guest Rick Green


Listen Later

In May of 2020, I did an IG TV interview with Rick Green - Founder of totallyadd.com on the topic of why ADDers have challenges starting tasks and even following through. Rick shared so many practical insights and approaches that I wanted to capture and share the audio file here.

These are some of our talking points :

  • Why it is important to get clear when starting
  • How overwhelm can get in the way of starting a task
  • BoringTasks that have a lot of emotion behind them
  • how to work with your strengths to get through a task
  • how self-esteem plays a big role in task initiation and follow-through
  • the power of visualization can make a difference in your approach
  • Perfectionism is another hurdle to overcome when it comes to task initiation and follow-through
  • why it's beneficial to get have a support system around you to hold keep you on track (towards the 20 min mark, this piece of his approach really was beneficial for me)
  • About Rick Green:
