💭 One Thing We’re Thinking About

“There’s a past version of me who’s frozen on the couch, ignoring her entire to-do list, and endlessly frustrated that she lacks the discipline to do anything.“

This week on the blog, MJ gives the top 3 reasons you keep getting stuck in a task freeze, and what to do when it happens.

🎧 One Thing We’re Listening To

NEW PODCAST EPISODE:

ADHD Life Hack: Toddler Treatment (9 min)

On Friday, we dropped episode 5 of Overthinking It — this is a silly deep dive into why treating yourself like a toddler is an excellent strategy for managing difficult times and complex emotions.

In this episode Anna shares a strategy that:

👉 Changed her relationship with ADHD and executive dysfunction
👉 Shifted her perspective on the idea of past, present, and future you
👉 Can help you feel a greater sense of joy and connection with yourself

🤔 One Question For You

⭐️ One Last Thing

As two people extremely familiar with the Perpetual Research Phase (you know, where you incessantly research and plan for the best path forward instead of just taking the first step), we loved this quote from James Clear:

"My personal rule is that it's a good idea to be patient as long as I'm in the mix. But if I'm not taking action consistently, then I'm not practicing patience — I'm just waiting."
