Oof—perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking can really dig their heels in, especially for ADHDers (and also for people socialized in high-achievement, urgency-driven, or high-stakes environments). Interrupting these patterns takes gentleness, awareness, and the right kinds of interruptions. Here’s a bunch of ways to start loosening the grip of perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking

When you're an ADHDer and work has piled up, everything feels urgent, and your brain starts short-circuiting, it can be really hard to know where to start. Here are practical, neurodivergent-friendly strategies to help you get through the overwhelm:

Today, I want to walk through some of the tangible ways we can create more neuroinclusive environments—through adjustments, hiring practices, accessible interviews, and workplace coaching. These aren’t just nice-to-haves—they’re essential steps toward equity, belonging, and unlocking the full potential of our teams.

Yep. Been there. Many times. And if you’re neurodivergent, that freeze isn’t a character flaw. It’s often the result of: – nervous system overload– task overwhelm or unclear starting points– perfectionism or fear of failure– low dopamine (a.k.a. no motivation fuel in the tank) When your brain sees “a task” and your body feels “a threat,” it makes total sense that you can’t just start.

"Do you have any resources about what to do about feeling overwhelm especially when things have to be pushed to the next day, so at the end of the week there's a big pile up? I know that I need more time than I normally do to prepare to focus/tackle tasks, but I don't know how to adjust my reality (I need to get things done!) with my other reality (I can't do as much as I used to)."

Sensory burnout is a common experience for many neurodivergent people—especially those who are autistic, ADHDers, or have sensory processing differences. It happens when your nervous system is overstimulated for too long without enough regulation or rest.
