Episode notes
Consistency Needs External Support
- ADHD brains show consistency when external accountability exists, like work or appointments.
- This shows ADHD is about needing external scaffolding, not a lack of willpower or character flaw.
Prioritize What Truly Matters
- Not all tasks require 100% consistency, especially if they don't impact your life significantly.
- ADHD brains often struggle with prioritization, so measure success by what truly matters to you.
Use Accountability Wisely
- Build external accountability structures only for areas that significantly impact your health, happiness, or livelihood.
- Use accountability buddies, coaches, or body doubling to lean on when focus falters.
