ADHD and productivity: Work with Your Brain, Not Against It

Описание: Struggling with productivity because traditional systems never seem to work for you? If you have ADHD, the problem isn’t discipline or motivation. It’s that most productivity advice is designed for neurotypical brains.

In this video, you’ll learn practical, ADHD-friendly productivity systems that work with your brain instead of against it. We break down executive function, time blindness, energy-based planning, habit building, and environment design so you can finally build systems that stick.

You’ll discover how to
• Leverage ADHD strengths like creativity and hyperfocus
• Design focus, quick-task, and reference zones
• Use energy-based time blocking instead of rigid schedules
• Manage time blindness with external anchors
• Build habits using triggers, micro-steps, and rewards
• Create sustainable systems for long-term success

Whether you’re overwhelmed, burned out, or just tired of advice that doesn’t fit how your brain works, this guide will help you take control of your productivity one small step at a time.
