New Year Goals: How I Finally Built Habits That Stick (with ADHD, Autism, and Zero Motivation)

Text Jule :)If you struggle with consistency, habit building, or following through on goals—especially if you have ADHD or feel like traditional goal setting doesn’t work for you—this episode is for you.I’m talking about habits, routines, and why I spent years starting things and quietly stopping, even when I really wanted change. This episode comes from my own experience with ADHD, autism, and struggling with goals and consistency in a way I couldn’t explain.For a long time, I assumed the issue was discipline. Or motivation. Or that I just hadn’t found the right program yet. So I kept researching, prepping, planning, and trying again—without ever really moving forward.In this episode, I’m sharing the pattern I didn’t see for years and how my relationship with habits, routines, and consistency started to change once I understood myself better. If you’ve ever felt stuck with the same goals year after year, or frustrated that you can start things but can’t seem to make them last, this conversation will probably feel familiar.This is what actually helped me move out of that guilty churn where I always felt like a failure, and why doing things the “right” way was never the thing that worked for me.Topics in this episode:Consistency and habit buildingGoal setting that doesn’t stickADHD, autism, and follow‑throughWhy routines break downResistance and overthinkingIdentity and long‑term changeThis is a production of Jule Kim © 2025.Support the showInterested in coaching with Jule?LinkedIn: @julekim / Instagram: @itsjulekim / TikTok: @itsjulekimJule’s website: https://adviceactually.com/Buy Jule’s Self-Love Affirmation Cards on AmazonWays to Support This Podcast:🌟 If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs it—and please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
