ADHD solopreneurs: Do you fall in love with each new idea? This episode unpacks the “Soulmate Phenomenon” and shares scrappy tools to separate idea keepers from fleeting flings.

Email can feel like a never-ending slot machine for the ADHD brain—offering constant novelty, dopamine hits, and distraction at the expense of meaningful work. In this episode, we unpack why inbox management is one of the biggest challenges for entrepreneurs with ADHD and share actionable strategies to take back control. From setting dedicated email blocks to creating a simple 3-folder system and using templates for repetitive responses, these tools work with your brain rather than against it.

The truth is, compulsive email checking isn’t productivity—it’s avoidance dressed up as busyness. Every distraction eats away at your focus and drains executive function, leaving less energy for the projects and priorities that actually grow your business. By building healthy boundaries and streamlining how you handle your inbox, you can shift from reactive responding to intentional action. These strategies don’t just improve efficiency—they give you back ownership of your time, energy, and confidence as a business owner.

This post was written based on my recent conversation with Cathy Rashidian, my friend, content collaborator and fellow ADHD coach. We noted that many of our choices are driven by forces that seem to be outside our control, but when we apply insight and awareness, we can identify and change our unconscious patterns.
