ADHD Hyperfocus & Perfectionism: Real Strategies to Finally Finish What You Start

ADHD entrepreneurs know how to start things with passion and intensity—but finishing them? That’s another story. If you find yourself trapped in endless tweaks, consumed by research, or held back by fear of judgment, you might be stuck in what Diann Wingert calls the "Stopping Problem." In this episode of the ADHD-ish Podcast, Diann unpacks the perfectionism, hyperfocus, and rejection sensitivity that keep brilliant ideas stuck at 85% done. You’ll meet three archetypes—Lenor the Tweaker, David the Protector, and Marta the Researcher—and learn how to break free using the “Completion Compass.” It’s time to redefine “done,” embrace real-world feedback, and start finishing what matters. Because done is not just better—it’s better for you.
