Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast - A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. ADHD Mind Mapping - How to Break Down an Overwhelming Task. This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD."
ADHD task paralysis can really take us down.
Mind mapping is THE tool for maximizing how our creative brains work, while minimizing our challenges with executive functioning. It's a non-linear method of getting your thoughts out of your head and into a form you can look at, organize, make plans, and prioritize.
In this episode we'll cover an often overwhelming task: where to start when attempting to tidy up a messy home office. We'll go through, step-by-step, how to create your action plan using mind mapping so you'll arrive at a simple checklist that can be followed over the span of a few sessions.

Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast - A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. ADHD Goal Avoidance - How to Overcome the Aversion to Goal Setting. This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD."
For many of us, the word “goal” has all kinds of negative associations. It can remind us of past failures, our short-comings, and our challenge with short and long-term planning.
Because of how our hyper-creative brain works, our dopamine receptors, and challenges with executive functioning, we often have an initial burst of inspiration...
But that initial energy tends to wane and we're left with a list of flat and possibly overwhelming goals that we never look at again.
However, knowing how to work with goals is essential to making forward progress in your life.
In this episode we explore a very simple trick that will completely change how you think about goals and we'll leave you with a clear exercise to make goal setting far more ADHD-friendly.

Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast - A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. ADHD, Creative Minds & The Antidote to School Trauma: Revolutionizing Education with Demetrius Fuller. This podcast is an audio companion to the book "The Drummer and the Great Mountain - A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD."
In this episode, we're joined by pioneering educator and art teacher Demetrius Fuller.
We explore his groundbreaking educational framework entitled "The HOMies," a neurodiversity-friendly approach to classroom learning based on the Harvard's Studio Habits of Mind.
In our discussion, we unpack the shame and trauma often experienced by neurodivergent students, and the importance of having an alternative education framework that supports self-esteem, embraces unique learning styles, and can successfully integrate into the mainstream public school system.
Demetrius introduces the HOMie characters, and how each represents a specific aspect of learning. He also discusses how this framework is currently being implemented into his school in Chelsea, Massachusetts.
