Too Much (rebroadcast)

Over the last few weeks, I have hit a number of points where it all just felt like too much - now there are a number of things that have contributed to this, but one of the keys always behind when I get overwhelmed is doing too much. This is despite the fact that even when I have too much on my plate it always feels like I should be doing more. That I could squeeze in just a few more things and then… well then I'd probably also still be trying to add more things to do.

In today's episode, we're going to be exploring why doing more isn't usually the best thing for us to pursue and how doing less can actually help us actually accomplish the things we really want to do.

This Episode's Top Tips

Prioritizing with ADHD can be difficult and that is only made more difficult as we add more and more to what we're doing. When we're able to pare down the amount we're doing we can then better prioritize all the things that actually need to get done.
We don't have to do everything that ends up on our to-do lists - it's okay to cross things out even if we haven't completed them.
We only have so much cognitive capacity to focus on any given thing and the more open loops we the more we are going to be drawing on that cognitive capacity. Our best bet for dealing with open loops is to work on simply opening fewer of them by taking less on.
