Hey Team!

We’re kicking off 2024 with the incredible Jessica McCabe - creator, writer, and host of the award-winning YouTube channel How to ADHD. I’m sure a lot of you are already familiar with Jessica’s work as her YouTube channel has more than a million subscribers, but for those of you who haven’t, her channel contains a wealth of knowledge about ADHD and is one of the things that kicked me in the pants to start taking my ADHD more seriously.

And now she’s coming out with a book: How to ADHD: An Insider's Guide to Working with Your Brain (Not Against It) - which is coming out on January 2nd - so tomorrow if you’re listening to this when this episode comes out.

In our conversation today, Jessica and I discussed how we want to go from surviving our ADHD to thriving with it, to get past some of our issues with executive function and universal design. We also get into a lot of stuff about her book and how she was able to use a lot of the strategies that she wrote about in the book to also help her write that same book.

Honestly, this episode was a blast to record and I hope you enjoy as much as I did putting it together.

This Episode's Top Tips

When we want to move from surviving to thriving we want to start looking at not just how we can get more things done, but what’s worth doing.
Even projects we’re interested in can be difficult for us to work on, so it's important for us to keep them exciting with variety.
When planning out those big projects, work backward from where you want to be to figure out all the steps in between so that we can see that path to done.
Effort for us is not the problem, so trying harder is not the answer.
