Why are transitions—like stopping watching Netflix to pay bills or switching from reading to getting ready for bed—so exhausting when you have ADHD?
In this episode, I break down why transitions are uniquely challenging for people with ADHD and what you can do to make them easier.
We’ll talk about:
- Why your brain resists change (even for things you like!)
- The power of a “neutral” activity between tasks
- Real-life examples, like my client “Jenna,” and how small changes helped her sleep more and stress less
- How to reduce energy drain and stop white-knuckling your way through the day
✨ I'm an occupational therapist and executive functioning coach. My goal is to help people with ADHD make life easier—so you don’t have to work so hard just to keep up.
