About this listen
Feeling stuck because you don’t know where to start? You’re not alone—and it’s not a motivation problem. In this episode, I’m diving into why uncertainty often leads to inaction (especially for ADHD brains that experience analysis paralysis) and sharing simple, ADHD-friendly executive functioning strategies to help you move forward when everything feels foggy or overwhelming.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
- Why uncertainty leads to ADHD paralysis and procrastination
- How to take action when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unclear
- How executive functioning challenges make getting started harder (especially when there is uncertainty)
- 3 actionable strategies to navigate analysis paralysis, create clarity, and build momentum
- How to figure out what “done” actually looks like—so you can work backward
If tasks keep getting pushed off your to-do list because they feel too big or unclear, this episode is for you.
