The Impulsive Thinker

André discusses and observation he made after finishing a 4 hour hyperfocus sprint on the podcast development and then going out for a walk.  Your brain requires transition time between tasks in order to be able to properly focus on the next task – and slow down that hamster wheel of a brain.  André has noticed that hyperfocus and transition times are related.

When we don’t plan, we have a hard time starting a project or tasks. We rarely start at the beginning – usually in the middle and all over the place – and this usually ends with getting little accomplished. Distractions are hard to ignore.  I explain how I sat down and planned the day with a task list and prioritizing the tasks and work on one only and in the order I chose.  This provided me to hyperfocus quicker and get tasks done – even though there was no possible way to complete the whole list!!!!  Check out the ADHD Transform Journey Program that is now available.

This podcast only came to a reality because I did this project differently.  This podcast almost came to the usual ADHD demise of being dropped because of our negative self-talk and rumination. This time I reached out to people to discuss the project and they became my accountability partners and cheerleaders.  Who keeps you accountable?  Who cheers you on?  Check out the ADHD Transform Journey Program that is now available.

André discusses how difficult it was to hit the record button to record his FIRST short episode during the development of The Impulsive Thinker Podcast.  Procrastination and various fears delayed me from hitting record and start to help others.  Constant internal talk about leaving it alone and being my own worst critic.  It’s amazing how our ADHD self-confidence is affected to start projects that are important to us.  Once you hit start!  It always gets easy after that, but our ADHD brain makes us hesitate.
