Ep 92: Getting Things Done Course

Send us a voice message at speakpipe.com/learntothrivewithadhdIn this transformative episode of our ADHD Summer School series, I reveal the secret to getting things done when motivation is nowhere to be found—and why waiting for the "right mood" is keeping you stuck in endless procrastination cycles.📌 Key Topics:The motivation myth: why it comes AFTER you start, not beforeThree major thought problems sabotaging your progress (and how to overcome them)How to welcome negative emotions and take them along for the rideThe power of reframing: shifting from "I have to" to "I get to" and "I want to"Breaking the cycle of letting yourself down and rebuilding self-trustBody doubling strategies and accountability systems that actually work🗣️ Featured Quote: "You can't wait for motivation. She's always late and you just have to start without her. Motivation comes after we get started—you have to get going and then you'll get motivated."💡 Strategy Breakdown:Use the 10-minute rule to overcome resistance and build momentumBreak projects down into the smallest possible next stepsApply the "when exactly" principle (70% completion rate vs. 40-50% for vague plans)Create "enough" boundaries to prevent endless work cyclesPractice keeping small commitments to build the muscle of following throughShut down brain negotiation with pre-planned responses🎯 Coming Up Next: More ADHD Summer School courses on Overcoming Overwhelm, Time Management, and building sustainable systems that work with your brain.🔑 Key Takeaway: You don't need to earn fun or wait until everything's perfect to take action. Your ADHD brain isn't broken—it just needs tools that work WITH its wiring, not against it. Start small, celebrate everything, and build momentum one action at a time.Connect with Mande: Free Get Things Done Workbook: http://www.learntothrivewithadhd.com/workbook2025 Learn more about private coaching with Mande: https://learntothrivewithadhd.com/services/ Free Resources: https://learntothrivewithadhd.com/freeresources/ Website: https://www.learntothrivewithadhd.com/ LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/learntothrivewithadhd Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/learntothrivewithadhd/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/learntothrivewithadhd/#getthingsdone #adhd #motivation #procrastination #adhdsupport #adhdstrategies #adhdcommunity #productivity #executivefunction #adhdworkbookClick here for full show notes.Send us Fan MailCLICK HERE for more resources.
