Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast - A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. ADHD Mind Mapping - How to Break Down an Overwhelming Task. This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD." ADHD task paralysis can really take us down. Mind mapping is THE tool for maximizing how our creative brains work, while minimizing our challenges with executive functioning. It's a non-linear method of getting your thoughts out of your head and into a form you can look at, organize, make plans, and prioritize. In this episode we'll cover an often overwhelming task: where to start when attempting to tidy up a messy home office. We'll go through, step-by-step, how to create your action plan using mind mapping so you'll arrive at a simple checklist that can be followed over the span of a few sessions.

ADHD Goal Avoidance – How to Overcome the Aversion to Goal Setting
Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast - A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. ADHD Goal Avoidance - How to Overcome the Aversion to Goal Setting. This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD." For many of us, the word “goal” has all kinds of negative associations. It can remind us of past failures, our short-comings, and our challenge with short and long-term planning. Because of how our hyper-creative brain works, our dopamine receptors, and challenges with executive functioning, we often have an initial burst of inspiration... But that initial energy tends to wane and we're left with a list of flat and possibly overwhelming goals that we never look at again. However, knowing how to work with goals is essential to making forward progress in your life. In this episode we explore a very simple trick that will completely change how you think about goals and we'll leave you with a clear exercise to make goal setting far more ADHD-friendly.
