Before fall hits... give yourself a boost of momentum.
|
Dear Reader, August is packed. Travel, family time, sunscreen, back-to-school lists. And underneath all of it, fall is already pulling at your schedule. For anyone with ADHD, that shift doesn't ease in. It literally can bowl you over. One week you're loosely following summer's rhythm, the next you're back to deadlines, school pickups, and a brain that's running fifteen tabs before 9am. Food is usually the first thing to fall apart in that shift and that's not because you don't know what to eat. >>> It's because deciding, planning, and cooking take mental bandwidth you don't have left. That's exactly what I'm covering at Alan P. Brown's Crush It at Work and School Summit, a free 4-day virtual event running August 31 through September 3. My session airs on the final day, Thursday, September 3: My topic: ππΌ Feeding Yourself When Meal Planning and Cooking Feels Impossible I'll walk through why meal planning breaks down for ADHD brains specifically, and what to do instead of forcing a system that was never built for how you actually think. Alongside me, you'll hear from ADHD and executive function experts covering focus, energy, routines, and burnout. Each day, five short interviews go live, free to watch for 24 hours.
