Episode Details

I’m kicking off a new series all about creating simple systems for ADHD brains. If you’ve ever tried to start a new routine, productivity tool, or planning system and it didn’t work for you - it probably wasn’t the right system for you (and that’s okay!). I’ll walk you through how to rethink systems, why the wrong systems create frustration for ADHD and neurodivergent brains, and how to start experimenting with simple, flexible systems that support your executive functioning.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

1. Why you already have systems in your life—even if you feel like you don’t
2. How the wrong systems (not your brain) often cause ADHD overwhelm and frustration
3. A simple way to think about executive function systems in everyday life
4. Why ADHD brains need a balance of structure and flexibility to make systems sustainable
5. Reflection questions to help you identify systems that are working—and where you might want to experiment with something new
