Does building habits as someone with ADHD feel like you're herding cats? Join ADHD coach Katherine as she explores a playful, perfectly possible approach to "firing up" productive habits, inspired by the celebrated potter Josiah Wedgwood.
You'll discover:
- Why habit formation is uniquely challenging for ADHD brains
- The power of celebrating small wins and allowing flexibility
- Using tools like AI assistants to design routines tailored for your neurodivergence
- Reconnecting to your deeper "why" when motivation wanes
Katherine shares practical tips like starting tiny, using external cues, and finding meaningful rewards. Her key message?
Embrace the journey - even Wedgwood's iconic glazes involved many "failed" experiments.
Listen for an energising new perspective on habits and ways to make them stick while honouring your ADHD brain!
