How to Make Projects Happen - Repost

AuDHD brains face many challenges when it comes to projects. It's something I've put a great deal of time and learning into, both personally and professionally. This episode covers many ideas and approaches that tend to work for us.

Key Takeaways:

We usually learn to use what I call the Adrenaline-Anxiety Approach. While effective short-term, it can lead to burnout and other issues.
A monotropic approach is more sustainable and individualized... and it can feel slow at first.
Experimentation as a core tool
Creating just enough structure and safety to get going, without getting bogged down (loose planning)
Working with the brain states you have
Managing interruptions, inputs, and daily life
Finding the balance that works for you

The episode also walks through the Love Your Brain course, designed to help AuDHDers understand their mind-body system, work with brain states, and navigate project challenges. The course emphasizes self-compassion, experimentation, and building processes tailored to individual needs.
