Decision fatigue can leave adults with ADHD feeling overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, and unable to move forward—even when the choices seem small.

In this episode of ADHD Support Talk Radio, Tara McGillicuddy and Lynne Edris discuss why decision-making can be so draining for adults with ADHD. They explore how everyday micro-decisions consume time, energy, and focus—and how unfinished decisions can contribute to procrastination, overthinking, prioritization problems, and paralysis.

You'll discover practical ways to reduce decision overload by creating flexible routines and defaults, making everyday choices in advance, choosing the right time to handle difficult decisions, and getting complicated decisions out of your head.

If you frequently feel stuck because you can't decide what to do next, this episode will help you understand why—and make your choices feel more manageable.

Why is it so hard to stop one task and move on to the next when you have ADHD?

In this episode of ADHD Support Talk Radio, Tara McGillicuddy and Lynne Edris explore the hidden challenge of ADHD transitions. What may look like procrastination, distraction, poor motivation, or lack of discipline may actually be difficulty shifting your attention, energy, and focus from one activity to another.

You'll discover:

✅ Why task switching creates friction for the ADHD brain
✅ How transition warnings and layered timers can help
✅ Why interruptions can disrupt focus, memory, and communication
✅ How to create a simple re-entry plan before stepping away
✅ Why identifying the next action makes restarting easier
✅ How awareness can reduce shame and self-blame

Have you ever spent the day getting things done, but still avoided the task you actually intended to do?

In this episode of ADHD Support Talk Radio, Tara McGillicuddy talks about productive procrastination and how it shows up for adults with ADHD. Productive procrastination happens when you take action on something useful or meaningful, but it is not the project, task, or commitment you originally planned to work on.

Sometimes productive procrastination can help you build momentum, reduce mental clutter, and move into action. Other times, it can pull you into hyperfocus, time blindness, guilt, shame, and avoidance of the thing that matters most.

Tara shares a helpful question to ask yourself when you notice it happening:

Is this helping me do what I intended to do?

This episode is especially helpful for adults with ADHD who struggle with procrastination, task avoidance, time blindness, overwhelm, prioritizing, and feeling busy but still stuck.
