In this deep-dive episode of our executive function series, I share my complete time management system that finally worked for my ADHD brain after years of struggling. You'll discover why traditional calendaring methods often fail us and how to build a system that actually sticks.
📌 Key Topics:

• Why I thought I was "just not a calendar person" for years
• The tools that transformed my relationship with time
• How to stop keeping everything in your head
• The surprising freedom that comes from routines
• Managing decision fatigue through better planning
• Why "I'll do it later" is the biggest lie we tell ourselves

🗣️ Featured Quote: "You cannot fit what's important to you into the cracks of time that you have. And we all want to be that person that does what they say they're going to do when they say they're going to do it."
💡 Strategy Breakdown:

• Create a sustainable capture system for ideas and tasks
• Use time blocking without feeling trapped or restricted
• Build routines that reduce daily decision fatigue
• Make your calendar work FOR your brain, not against it

🎯 Coming Up Next: Join us next week as we continue our executive function series with more practical strategies.
🔑 Key Takeaway: Time management isn't about forcing yourself into rigid systems—it's about finding the right combination of tools and mindset that work with your unique brain.
