Last week I announced the launch of The Distractables, a new ADHD podcast series I’m doing with Marie Ng (creator of Llama Life, a productivity app for helping you get things done). This week we have a new episode with Trina Haynes, where we talk about ADHD burnout and discuss strategies for both keeping that burnout away and how to get out of burnout when it hits. It’s a really great conversation, and you can check out the episode here: Paid subscribers of Extra Focus get early access via the Unfocused podcast feed at extrafocus.com/podcast. Trina also wrote an excellent article last year about ADHD Burnout that has been one of the most popular guest posts in the Extra Focus archive.
One of the primary reasons people with ADHD run into this burnout is due to our strained perception of time. We don’t have the same internal alarm bells that most neurotypical people have to let us know when we’ve overcommitted to things. I always think I’ll have plenty of time for future commitments, because all future time feels infinite to me! When time is understand as either “now” or “not now”, everything that is “not now” feels easy to accomplish later when I get to it. When an opportunity comes up that I know I have the ability to do, I often say yes before I ever consider if I have the time, energy, or motivation to follow through. ADHD Burnout hits when all of that overcommitment catches up and suddenly it’s March 31st, and I’ve accidentally scheduled 93 meetings on the same day… Strategies
What strategies have you used to help keep overcommitment at bay or to deal with ADHD Burnout? Stay curious,
