Reasons for Feeling Too Busy

Feeling too busy can stem from a multitude of tasks that need attention, ranging from small immediate ones like emails and calls to larger ongoing projects that involve multiple steps. Often, the pressure of handling numerous responsibilities can lead to forgetting tasks and decision fatigue when faced with prioritization. This feeling can be agitated when we struggle to determine which task to tackle first due to not setting clear priorities or identifying our peak productivity times.

Every adult with ADHD experiences the feeling of being too busy sometimes.

Dave tackles how we can minimize this feeling that many of us go through in our professional lives and at home.

Oftentimes adults with ADHD feel like there are a million things to do, and everything needs to be done now, but we often can't decide what to get started on or what to prioritize.

Dave discusses how we can sort things out, prepare appropriately so we're not always feeling too busy, prioritize tasks and projects, be in charge of others in the workplace that can affect your deadlines, understand capacity and boundaries, and when we need to say no to commitments.

And much more.
