New Episode Out: Murderers of Motivation

“Just can’t get started“. “I did a bunch of things on my To-Do list…not the important ones but I got a lot done”. “I’m exhausted, can’t do another thing! (5pm)”. Does this sound like you? Join the crowd! At least 8 out 10 of us with ADHD (my guesstimate, probably more than that) have said that more than once. What gets in our way? Why is it so hard to get going on things we know have to get done? 

The answers are in Your Brain’s Not Broken, the chapter on the Murderers of Motivation. My guest in this episode is its author, Tamara Rosier Ph.D, an ADHD coach in Michigan with a wider professional background than that description might suggest; she brings the personal perspective of one with lived experience in ADHD to her work (as do I). We explore how these murderers of our best intentions derive from the processes of the ADHD mind which are different from “the other 96 percent”. Best of all, Dr. Rosier explains the Solve-It Grid, her model of how to prevent the workings of our ADHD minds from grabbing us, and how to balance our energy and focus over the day/week/month. Join us! Listen and learn!
