Starting in 2009, squirrels forever came to be associated with ADHD. You know when you have a squirrel affecting you… or DO you? Dana’s got a fantastic new technique for you, and YES we have a squirrel of the week! (But it’s one worth chasing!)

Do you ever go into waiting mode? Maybe you’re expecting someone to respond to a message, or maybe you have something happening at a scheduled time. And you find yourself unable to do anything even though there are other things you could be doing?

The ADHD Codes were born on this podcast, but some of them have taken on lives of their own! Many of us are living by them… but which ones are the most used and loved? We revisit them AND we have a fun Squirrel of the Week!

Do you treat yourself as if ADHD is a character flaw? Do you think of it as a personal failing? Here’s a shift that’s going to sound subtle, but can have profound effects on your life!

Are you struggling with your to-dos? Do you face a hazy cloud of tasks that haven’t been quantified? Do you find yourself overwhelmed by it? What if you could have a realistic, helpful list each day that you can finish more often than not? PLUS we have a surprising Squirrel of the Week!

Last time, we talked about whether it was a good idea to use AI tools like ChatGPT with your ADHD or not. Now it’s time to talk specifics: how can you use ChatGPT to improve your productivity? What should you avoid? PLUS a related Squirrel of the Week!

So-called “AI” systems like ChatGPT have been endlessly hyped, and it’s been suggested that they’re particularly helpful for people with ADHD. But are they? And should you use them? What do you need to know that might help keep you out of trouble with them? PLUS Dana has an adorable Squirrel of the Week!

We move through the world thinking that we are having a unique experience. This sensation that you are the only person dealing with the circumstances in your life can tend to cause you to withdraw from others—especially when things are hard. The reality is that this perception is false! What is pluralistic ignorance? And how is it affecting your life?

This time of year can be especially tricky for those of us with ADHD. Find out why you might find yourself rebuilding some of the valuable things that help you manage your ADHD right now… and don’t miss the thought-provoking Squirrel of the Week!
