What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

Memory is not a system. For ADHD brains especially, treating it like one is where things fall apart.

Alexis Haselberger is a time management, productivity, and stress reduction coach with ADHD who has taught over 240,000 people to work with their brains instead of against them. Her clients include teams at Google, Lyft, Workday, Capital One, and Upwork. Her approach was built on a lifetime of figuring out what actually works for brains like ours.

In this episode:

The quick win: stop relying on memory entirely. Write down everything, every time, no exceptions

Why high, medium, and low priority labels are mostly meaningless, and what to do instead

The Someday/Maybe list: how to get aspirational ideas out of your head without losing them forever

Why task realism (matching your list to your actual available time) changes how you feel at the end of every day

How to keep your goals visible so they actually influence your decisions

Why ADHD brains need to expect that systems will stop working, and why that is not a failure

Good enough is not settling. It is a strategy.

Alexis has a practical, honest approach that does not ask you to become a different kind of person. It asks you to build systems around the person you already are.
