While everyone is guilty of occasionally overworking, our ADHD brains tend to hyperfocus, which often leads to us working in a way that is exhausting and unsustainable in the long term.

A few questions to ask yourself when you're feeling uncertain include the following:
• What if it DID work out?

…as a non-negotiable I book in enough space and decompression time to recover. Being intentional with recovery time is vital for neurodivergent people. This strategy helps us recentre and ground ourselves instead of self-sabotaging all our ambitions and plans with a constant cycle of burnout.
