About this listen
Tired of setting up “perfect” systems that fizzle out by week two? You’re not broken...your systems just don't match your brain's way of thinking. In this episode, I walk you through three coaching lenses I use with clients to design ADHD-aware systems that actually stick. You’ll get simple questions to guide your setup and one killer tip that saves your future self time (and sanity).
What You’ll Learn:
- Why past systems fell apart (hint: misalignment, not laziness)
- The three coaching lenses that make systems brain-friendly:
- Access: Where would you naturally look for this later?
- Recognition: How should it be labeled so your brain identifies it fast?
- Organization: Do you work better with one hub or smaller, separate parts?
Quick Coaching Prompts (save these)
- Access: “What’s the first place I’d go to find this?”
- Recognition: “How can I label/save this so I know what it is instantly?”
- Organization: “Do I want one master doc or many small docs—and which is easier on a low-energy day?”
Killer Tip (the one that changes everything)
As you build your system, keep a notepad or blank doc open and jot each step while you do it. Don’t worry about perfect order or wording—treat it as a working document you’ll refine over time. Momentum over memory.
