The average person makes around 35,000 decisions a day, but for neurodivergent minds, even the smallest choices can feel overwhelming, often leading to anxiety and decision paralysis.
This week we’re joined by Adrienne Adhami, podcaster, business advisor, keynote speaker, and author of Decisions That Matter. Adrienne has helped global giants like Microsoft, Spotify, and Range Rover empower their teams to make intentional, confident decisions in a world full of noise and distractions.
In this chat with Ben, Adrienne shares her six golden rules for cutting through overwhelm. Packed with real-life examples and actionable strategies to overcome procrastination, reclaim their mental energy, and reduce decision fatigue, so you can take back control of your time and focus on what really matters.
