The Cost of Context Switching

Switching between tasks and roles eats up your energy and time, especially with ADHD. Listen for why transitions feel SO exhausting and what’s really happening in your brain.

The Transition Bridge System

Trade your mental cliff-jumping for supportive “bridges.” Learn how building small systems makes every future switch easier and less energy-draining.

Breadcrumbs You Won’t Want to Sweep Up

From one-sentence task summaries to two-minute project recaps, discover the magic of leaving yourself notes (not novels) that make picking up where you left off a breeze—and why voice memos count too!

Micro and Macro Rituals for Seamless Shifts

Reset your brain with quick mini-rituals, and get step-by-step on bigger resets when shifting between wildly different projects or after a disruption (hello, post-vacation slump).

Quick Tip from the Episode: Back-to-back client meetings on Zoom? Simply saying your client’s name out loud before opening the meeting room can help your brain switch gears and avoid those “oops, wrong person” moments.
