And it may just be because you're not operating with your values and vision in mind. In this episode, Dave explores how clarifying your personal values and creating a values-driven vision of success can help you feel more fulfilled, productive, and in control, without relying on rigid systems and flirting with burnout. This episode is especially for ADHD brains that crave meaning, flexibility, and momentum, when it may be lacking. Why vision and values matter more for professionals and entrepreneurs with ADHD How chasing urgency and external expectations leads to busyness without fulfillment How to clarify personal and professional values in a way that actually feels usable Redefining what "fulfilled," "productive," and "in control" really mean for an ADHD brain Why productivity isn't about doing more, but doing what matters with less friction. Aligning short- and long-term goals with your values instead of constant pressure Simple reflections to help you evaluate whether your goals support the life you want, or just keep you busy. **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one?
