AuDHD brains face many challenges when it comes to projects. It's something I've put a great deal of time and learning into, both personally and professionally. This episode covers many ideas and approaches that tend to work for us.
Key Takeaways:
- We usually learn to use what I call the Adrenaline-Anxiety Approach. While effective short-term, it can lead to burnout and other issues.
- A monotropic approach is more sustainable and individualized... and it can feel slow at first.
- Experimentation as a core tool
- Creating just enough structure and safety to get going, without getting bogged down (loose planning)
- Working with the brain states you have
- Managing interruptions, inputs, and daily life
- Finding the balance that works for you
The episode also walks through the Love Your Brain course, designed to help AuDHDers understand their mind-body system, work with brain states, and navigate project challenges. The course emphasizes self-compassion, experimentation, and building processes tailored to individual needs.
