Quick takeaways
- Transitioning from urgent and important tasks to important but not urgent tasks can be challenging for individuals with ADHD, but buffer time and self-awareness can help ease the transition.

Challenges of Transitioning Between Tasks
Transitioning from urgent and important tasks to important but not urgent tasks can be challenging for individuals with ADHD. The emotional attachment to unresolved tasks in the urgent and important category can make it difficult to focus on other tasks. Guilt and the fear of letting others down can also come into play. Buffer time and self-awareness can help ease the transition and provide space to check in with one's emotions. Separating negative emotions from the work and recognizing that waiting is a part of life can help navigate the challenges.
