The Before We Get Started (rebroadcast)

WILLIAM CURB
About this episode

Hey team,

I've recently been thinking about task initiation a lot, but while working on the first draft of this episode, I realized that there were a few ideas that were important to explore first.

So in this episode, we're going to be exploring some ideas of executive dysfunction, but then we're also going to be getting into stuff surrounding our mental and physical health and then how we can work on our systems that help keep everything in order.

This Episode's Top Tips

  1. We need to recognize and respect our physical and mental states - it crucial that we're kind to ourselves and acknowledge that we're not always going to be at 100%. We don't always need to pushing ourselves and it's important to we're giving ourselves time to recover.
  2. It's important that when we're build the systems in our lives that we look at making them simple and effective. We want them to be able to work even on our bad days and that means we need to lower the barrier to getting started on them.
  3. One great way that we can implement systems with our ADHD is through checklists and creating designated places for things to go. Again our systems are there to help make our life simpler and streamline the things we need to get done.
