You know how to do the work. But when a task is actually a project, you have to figure out the steps again every time you come back to it.
On Wednesday we looked at the research behind this problem. ADHD planning challenges often show up when the brain has to manage the structure of a project internally.
This episode looks at the practical solution.
Instead of trying to carry the whole project in your head, many ADHD entrepreneurs externalize the planning layer.
Skye and Robbie explain what that looks like in practice — including tools, capture systems, and support structures that hold the plan so your brain can focus on execution.
What We Cover
- Why projects become inefficient when the plan lives only in your head
- What externalizing executive functioning looks like in practice
- The three components of an ADHD project system: tools, structure, and support
- Why the tool matters less than the habit of capturing work outside your head
- How entrepreneurs separate planning from execution
