Why Your ADHD Gets Worse When You Start Managing a Team & How To Fix It

You finally hire people to get some time back. Then somehow you have even more to keep track of. What did you delegate? Is it getting done? What did you tell them was most important? Where is everyone actually spending their time? For ADHD business owners, growing a team can make it feel like the systems you spent years building for yourself suddenly stop working. Skye Waterson and Robert Waterson look at why. Working memory was already carrying too much when you were managing your own tasks. Now you're trying to keep track of other people's work too, and hiring one highly organized person or adding more AI doesn't necessarily solve the problem. This episode is about why getting tasks out of your head becomes even more important once you're leading a team, and why your personal productivity system eventually needs to become a shared one. Next episode, Skye and Robert get into exactly how to build that shared system. What We Cover: Why the systems that worked when it was just you can break down once you have a team Why ADHD leaders can lose track of tasks after they've delegated them How hiring an organized person can help without solving the underlying problem Why AI and automation can become more things you have to remember and monitor Why one shared system lets you see priorities without constantly chasing your team P.S.
