Get More Done; How to Focus with ADHD and Take Real Action

May 26

Welcome to the third episode in the Entrepreneurs with ADHD series. In this solo episode, I address the all too common challenge of having trouble getting our brain to focus with ADHD and initiate taking action on tasks at hand. Understanding how to focus with ADHD is crucial for entrepreneurial success.

The secret is understanding that there are really only four things that stimulate focus with ADHD, called drivers, and they are interest, challenge, novelty, and urgency.

Each of us responds to these drivers in unique ways, but with just a little effort, we can create an effective strategy for how to use each of them to create and sustain momentum in our business, on demand.

Here's a sneak peek of what you'll learn:

Interest Driver: Discover how to tap into activities that genuinely excite you and how this can jump-start your productivity and improve focus with ADHD.
Challenge Driver: Learn to set personal milestones that push your limits and keep you engaged.
Novelty Driver: Implement new and novel changes to keep your ADHD brain stimulated and avoid boredom.
Urgency Driver: Understand how to harness the power of deadlines and time constraints for last-minute productivity pushes. I explain the downside of overutilizing this one and why you want to avoid it.

This episode is full of real-life examples from my coaching business, as well as practical tips on how to implement these strategies yourself to improve focus with ADHD.

Mic drop moment: "It's a really bad idea to only use urgency to get things done. Like anything else that becomes habitual, it's a lot less effective over time while still doing plenty of damage to our bodies, minds and brains, and probably to our business and our relationships as well."
