ep.8: So WHY have I been avoiding doing this??

The ADHD Connection with Nicky Shipp & Carrie Overton

Hi, we're Nicky & Carrie, 2 ADHD coaches figuring it out together – and, in this episode, we talk about Procrastination…

• chronic vs occasional procrastination

• why DO we 'procrastinate'?

• can we un-learn to procrastinate?

• the effect of time/proximity

• 'delaying to avoid'

• the tipping point

• Nicky finishing a song – just the 9 years in the writing!

(If you want to watch the song, the YouTube link is:

…and 'combative strategies' - what works for us, including:

• using a deadline to maximise the outcome

• Management By Doing Nothing and intuition

• Eating the Frog vs dumplings!

• planning vs 'winging it'

• ‘Reframing’ – Carrie seeing the strength in something she’d considered a weakness
