What are your tricks for getting: going, things done, started, organised?
In Session 6 we looked at the Big Bag of Tricks for dealing with ADHD issues. We broke them into categories: Capture (remembering) Environment (tools, spaces, food, movement, friction) Activation (Open the Book) Recovery and Adaptation (Scalable habits, minimum effective dose, and LSD -Least Stressful Decision) Do you have one that we didn't cover? Please share it!
Session 6 – Building Your External Brain 🧠🛠️🤯
Now it's time to make life a little easier! This week we're getting practical . . . How do we stop relying on memory, motivation and sheer bloody determination to get through the day? How do we remember things, get started, stay on track and recover when our beautifully constructed systems fall apart? We'll explore some simple, clever (and occasionally absurd) ways to work WITH our ADHD rather than constantly fighting it. I'll also be sharing The Big Bag of Tricky Nick's ADHD Tricks — a collection of practical strategies, shortcuts and workarounds gathered from years of making mistakes so you don't have to! Bring your own favourite tricks, and perhaps one everyday frustration you'd love to solve. Looking forward to seeing you all TONIGHT, Tuesday at 7pm (SA time)! ⏰

Session 5 - Stability before Optimisation
Here's the recording of Session 5. Packed with Ship metaphors and Taoist references (and some real deep stuff that could change your life)! And the visuals (or should I say: Infographics).

Session 5 - Stability before Optimisation
Session 5 – Stabilisation Before Optimisation ⛵🌊🧭
This week we're looking at ways of creating more stability in our lives. If you were trying to cross an ocean, you wouldn't get very far if you were constantly bailing water out of your ship. And if you spent all your time reinforcing the sides, you'd end up with a tank, not a sailboat! You wouldn't put bigger sails on a sinking boat either! So how do we build lives that are stable enough to weather the storms, but flexible enough to keep moving? This week we're exploring the habits and patterns that help or hinder us, how to recognise when we're overwhelmed, stuck or doing way too much (or not enough) just to cope, and how to adapt our routines to the energy and capacity we ACTUALLY have! Stability isn't about doing everything perfectly. It's about finding ways to keep going even in the face of wild weather and giant waves! Something to think about before Tuesday: Where in your life are things harder than they need to be? See you Tuesday at 7pm (SA time)! ⏰💕
