The trick with procrastination is that it’s easy. It’s the easiest thing in the world to succumb to inaction in place of action, especially when action is challenging. But when you let procrastination rule, shame is sure to follow, and the ADHD brain doesn’t work well in those conditions.
This week on the show we’re talking all about procrastination, avoidance, and the shame that stands between you and the feeling of productive accomplishment that truly is right in your reach. We’re going to help you re-attach motivation to your the actions in your way and hopefully find a path to the other side of inaction.

Inspired by an email from a time-starved OT, we’re taking on efficiency today, looking some of the ways that you can shave precious minutes off of tasks that force you to struggle. “Why can’t I do this task the same pace as the person next to me?” you ask. The secret is buried in the question. You’re a different person… perhaps it’s time to approach the task a different way!

Hearts for ADHD with Jennifer Kampfe
Grab the Declutter Guide ... FREE! Visit https://takecontroladhd.com/adhd-declutter and get a head start on your toughest spaces today!--- Thank you for supporting The ADHD Podcast on Patreon! — https://patreon.com/theadhdpodcast
We get lost with ADHD. Lost in feelings of struggle, lost in time of hyperfocus, lost in loneliness. It doesn’t take long before we build habits around the experience of negativity. But what if you were to change those behaviors and learn to celebrate the positive outcomes of even your smallest achievements?
Our guest is Jennifer Kampfe, a certified ADHD coach with Fantastically Focused. Jennifer works with children, teens, college students, parents and adults with ADHD and she’s here today to talk about her program, Hearts for ADHD. She’s helping parents and coaches celebrate the strengths and achievements of kids with ADHD, and teaching them to celebrate the same in themselves!

If you’re on the market for ADHD-friendly tools and resources, you know the search can be a challenging one. That’s because often the people creating the tools for you — even tools that are specifically for ADHDers — don’t actually understand ADHD themselves! Creating supporting tools for the ADHD brain is hard work, and has to be crafted for a special kind of learner. Today, Nikki has some suggestions to help you sort the good from the bad when it comes to building your ADHD support tool chest!
