96. When You Keep Starting the Same Thing — And It Never Gets Finished — ADHD Mums

In this episode, we unpack the invisible load of trying to do something simple inside a day that won’t hold it. The interruptions, the split attention, the constant restarting — and how quickly that gets turned into ‘I’m the problem.’

From the outside, it looks like nothing happened.

But inside it?

You were doing that one task

over and over again.
