Important But Not Urgent (IBNU)

I've been thinking about the phrase, "I want to hit the ground running," and how that's kind of how many of us try and start the year. I know that's how I felt - and honestly, in that first week of the year, I was doing great… but then I got covid. That really threw a snag into things.

With ADHD we tend to like to go fast with things; we don't want to wait around. But that's usually not actually our best strategy. Going from one urgent task to the next can keep us motivated, but it can make it hard to get to anything that isn't urgent.

In today's episode, we're going to be exploring how we use urgency as a drive to get more done but how we also need to learn to make time for all those important but not urgent tasks.
