EP. 56: Productive Procrastination: How to get back to what matters

from ADHD with Jenna Free · host Jenna Free

What if productive procrastination isn't about seeking dopamine or being undisciplined? What if you're cleaning the kitchen before work because your nervous system thinks your work project is a bear you need to run from? In this episode, I break down why you avoid the important task and do everything else instead. It's not laziness. It's your system avoiding what feels dangerous. And every time you avoid, you're training your nervous system that the task is unsafe. Put on your regulation goggles. See yourself as an animal in dysregulation, not someone who's failing.
