About this episode

If you're talking about ADHD and time management, you have to consider energy management.

It becomes more difficult to manage your time when you do not have energy. And This is why energy and time have to be discussed simultaneously when we're trying to improve how we manage our days and weeks and productivity.

Dave talks about how focusing on your energy and energy flows can help you be far more effective in managing your time, tasks, commitments and how days flow into weeks of productivity.
