The Writing Wall: Hyperfocus, Mind Maps, and Making Words Work for Your ADHD

Your brain is a library in a windstorm—beautiful, but impossible to organise. Until now.In this episode, we’re joined by Susanne, the world’s first ADHD writing coach for adults. If you’ve ever stared at a blinking cursor for three hours or felt the "all-or-nothing" burn of a hyperfocus session, this conversation is your roadmap. We move beyond "just sit down and write" and dive into the mechanics of two-dimensional thinking.From the high-stakes world of academic writing to the daily struggle of energy management, we’re reframing the writing process from a chore into a game you can actually win.In this episode, we reframe:The Hyperfocus Trap: How to harness the "blessing" without the "curse" burnout.2D Thinking: Why mind mapping is the natural language of the ADHD brain.Energy vs. Time: Why managing your clock is useless if you aren't managing your battery.Gamification: Practical strategies to trick your brain into enjoying the hard parts.Susanne decided to give away a free workbook to you listeners, to help you turn any writing project into a game.
