Summary
If you are trying to manage a packed calendar, constant demands, pulled in 1000 directions, and still feeling behind, it's time to have a talk about your energy and productivity. Managing your time isn't the real challenge, understanding your energy is. For busy professionals with ADHD, especially those balancing demanding careers and family responsibilities, productivity often comes in unpredictable waves. In this short episode, Dave explores how to stop forcing focus and instead align your work with your natural energy cycles. In this episode, we discuss: Why you need to identify your natural energy highs and lows throughout the day Aligning high-focus tasks with peak energy windows for better results Using low-energy periods for admin and routine work instead of forcing productivity The importance of movement, breaks, and "reset moments" to recharge your brain How high achievers with ADHD fall into the overworking trap, and how to recognize it The difference between true rest and low-quality recharge (like scrolling) **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one?
