Have you ever tried to take the most efficient route… only to end up creating more work for yourself? In this episode, I’m sharing a very real (and very soggy) story about how my attempt to save time ended with me falling into a lake. We’ll talk about why your brain chases efficiency, how it can actually drain your executive functioning, and how to create systems that help both current and future you.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why chasing efficiency can backfire (especially with ADHD)
- The difference between actual efficiency and avoiding discomfort
- 5 reflection questions to ask before taking a “shortcut”
- How to be more efficient with time without overwhelming yourself
Whether you're folding laundry, writing emails, or building a business, this episode will help you work more efficiently with ADHD by prioritizing sustainability over speed.
