Ep 107. Why Transitions Are So Hard with ADHD (And What to Do About It)
Why are transitions—like stopping watching Netflix to pay bills or switching from reading to getting ready for bed—so exhausting when you have ADHD?
In this episode, I break down why transitions are uniquely challenging for people with ADHD and what you can do to make them easier.
We’ll talk about:
- Why your brain resists change (even for things you like!)
- The power of a “neutral” activity between tasks
- Real-life examples, like my client “Jenna,” and how small changes helped her sleep more and stress less
- How to reduce energy drain and stop white-knuckling your way through the day
✨ I'm an occupational therapist and executive functioning coach. My goal is to help people with ADHD make life easier—so you don’t have to work so hard just to keep up.
