Productivity for ADHD Solopreneurs (Without the Rigid Systems)

Описание: Are you a solopreneur who struggles with focus, overwhelm, procrastination, or inconsistent motivation? You’re not alone — and your brain isn’t broken.

In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur Podcast, hosts Carly Ries and Joe Rando sit down with ADHD coach and former academic Skye Waterson for a powerful, practical conversation about ADHD, productivity, and building a business that actually works with your brain.

Skye shares her incredible journey, including being recruited by the New Zealand government to train their intelligence services, and explains why ADHD traits are especially common among entrepreneurs. Together, they unpack how solopreneurs can reduce overwhelm, improve focus, and create sustainable systems without relying on rigid productivity advice that never seems to stick.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔️ Why traditional productivity advice often fails people with ADHD
✔️ How to prioritize tasks when everything feels urgent
✔️ A simple method to reduce overwhelm instantly
✔️ How to build a clear “map of your business” so you feel more in control
✔️ How solopreneurs can use AI tools to delegate and scale without hiring
✔️ Why rewarding yourself for starting (not finishing) improves focus
✔️ How to create systems that support executive function instead of fighting it
✔️ Why many high-performing entrepreneurs have ADHD traits

This episode is especially helpful if you:
• Are a solopreneur with ADHD
• Suspect you may have ADHD traits
• Feel scattered, overwhelmed, or stuck
• Struggle with consistency and follow-through
• Want ADHD-friendly productivity strategies
• Want to grow your business without burning out
