12: Why Your ADHD Obsession With Efficiency Is Keeping You Stuck

12: Why Your ADHD Obsession With Efficiency Is Keeping You Stuck

If you've ever found yourself so focused on doing things efficiently that you still haven't done anything, this episode is about what's really going on there.

I'm talking about why your obsession with efficiency isn't about time management. It's what survival mode does to an ADHD brain. When you're dysregulated, the nervous system demands you go all in or not at all, and that all-or-nothing thinking is what turns five errands into zero errands for two weeks straight. This episode covers why the efficiency trap works against you, what ADHD burnout cycles have to do with perfectionism, and what it actually looks like to get things done when you stop chasing efficiency and start thinking sustainably.

00:00 - The Efficiency Obsession and Where It Comes From

03:12 - All or Nothing Thinking and the Errand Problem

08:20 - ADHD Perfectionism Through the Back Door

13:45 - Transitions, Batching, and What Dysregulation Is Doing

18:02 - What Sustainability Looks Like in a Day
