E90 | You're not procrastinating; you're fighting inertia and context switching

Do you ever finally build up the motivation to do a task you've been delaying for a while, only to be stumped by an unexpected roadblock in the first five minutes? Does your brain find it difficult to change contexts? In this episode we discuss why it is SO hard to just do the thing sometimes, and why can one tiny roadblock completely derail your entire day. We're talking inertia, context switching and the experience of finally getting into a task, only to have something go wrong and suddenly be unable to do literally anything else. We discuss the combination of autistic intertia, ADHD executive function and how this can be hugely challenging as an AuDHDer. Even though it might look like you're procrastinating, underneath the surface, there's often more going on. Sign up to be the first to know about our new WTF Pod Hosted on Acast.
