My Fave Business Tools & Systems for my ADHD/Autistic Brain

Sharing the tech tools I actually use (and love) as an Autistic ADHDer running two businesses, how I use them and how they help me. "ADHD brain was struggling big time having too many different bits of information and too many spreadsheets, and the second I think, oh, I need to go and get that information from the other spreadsheet, I half open it up and I'd go on another side quest because I realized I needed to rename a file and move it over there. And suddenly I'm building an automation to move the file and I'm 10 steps away from where I needed to be." — Adina Levy You'll hear me share about: The exact apps and systems that support both "autistic me" and "ADHD me" in staying focused, reducing burnout and getting the big stuff done How I've designed my business to match my energy levels, including clever hacks like colour-coded strategic goals and why I don't book anything before 11am Why automations make my heart sing and how tools like ClickUp, Capsule CRM and Zapier help me focus on the human-ey parts of my work LINKS • Streamline Your Business for Time Freedom – on-demand course (use code POD20 for 20% off) – https://ndbusiness.co/streamline-your-business-course/ • Neurodivergent Business Collective – community for neurodivergent business owners – https://ndbusiness.co/neurodivergent-business-collective/ • 1:1 Coaching and Consulting – join the waitlist – https://ndbusiness.co/1-1-coaching-consulting/ • Explore Your Affirming Practice – free podcast training for Speech Therapists (through my other business, Play.
