364 | Not Like The Other Brains with William Curb from Hacking Your ADHD

It's been a year since William Curb started the Hacking Your ADHD podcast and we're celebrating. Correction: In true ADHD style, it has been a year + 3 months or so. Either way, having reached this milestone is huge and we are celebrating. Creating and sustaining a podcast is a lesson in discipline for ANY podcaster but even more so for someone who has also been diagnosed with ADHD. Having set systems definitely helps but there are so many new facets of the disorder that you'll face as you try to keep a steady schedule that it's almost like learning a whole new tool. William takes the time to script his podcast so he keeps them fairly short and on task, but doing this means that he occasionally misses production dates. This is perfectly fine because he has kept on going regardless. Listen as we chat about when automation helps (and when it doesn't), what the future looks like for Hacking Your ADHD, and how having the podcast has helped him to address various ADHD symptoms. He's also sharing a bit about how he hacks his ADHD and how he's altering those hacks for his 5-year old daughter. In true Hacking Your ADHD fashion, we end this one with an amazing dad joke courtesy of William's very large "dad joke library." Listen in to hear it all.
