That's procrastination wearing a productivity costume.In this episode, Coach Mande John breaks down Paul Graham's essay "Good and Bad Procrastination" and applies it directly to the ADHD brain - helping you understand why you avoid big work, how to recognize when you're stuck in busy-but-not-moving mode, and how to redirect your focus toward what actually moves the needle.Here's what we explore:The three types of procrastination - and why one of them is actually a good thingWhy to-do lists can become a source of overwhelm and avoidanceThe "buckets" method for organizing your attention by seasonHow to define "enough" so you're not endlessly pouring energy into tasks that don't matterThe emotional weight behind big work - and why cleaning the bathroom always winsHow to have a healthier relationship with hyperfocus (without letting it derail your life)The Hamming question: "What is the most important thing you could be working on - and why aren't you?"Delegation, simplification, and letting go of what only needs to be done good enoughThis episode comes with a free PDF of all the reflection questions.
