(And What to Actually Do About It) If you've ever found yourself scrambling to finish something right before the deadline — telling yourself next time will be different — this episode is for you. I'm digging into why your brain is wired to lean on urgency as a motivator, and I want you to walk away feeling understood. In this episode, you'll learn: Why waiting until the last minute isn't a character flaw or a moral failing — it's actually how many ADHD and neurodivergent brains are wired to function What Parkinson's Law is and how noticing & naming it can help you get started sooner How to create \"healthy urgency\" through sprints and anchor points so you're not always crunching at the finish line Why \"someday goals\" are often the hardest to start and what to do when there's no real deadline pushing you Sometimes waiting until the last minute to get started can actually be the best strategy (and how to do it in a way that is supportive!)
