Is this you? You are not doing bad. That is the weird part. From the outside, people probably think you are fine. - You have a decent job. - You have skills. - You are smart. - You can talk well. - You understand business. - You see opportunities before other people see them. Sometimes people even look up to you. But inside it feels completely different. Inside you feel like you are living at 30% of what you could be. And that gap is starting to destroy you. Because you know there is more in you. Not in a cute motivational way. You know it. You can feel it in your body. You see the version of yourself that could exist. The version that is sharp, clear, consistent. Dangerous in a good way.. Building something real, making money, helping people. Living with pride again. And then you look at your actual life. - Half finished ideas. - Bursts of motivation. - Random deep dives. - Messy systems. - Missed opportunities. Another week where you said you would change, another month where nothing really changed. And you start asking yourself the question you hate most. What the fuck is wrong with me? Because you are not lazy. That would almost be easier. Lazy people do not obsess about their potential every night. Lazy people do not rebuild their entire life in their head 4 times a week. Lazy people do not feel physical pain when they see someone with less talent pass them because they were just more consistent. That is not laziness. That is wasted potential. And wasted potential hits different when you have ADHD. Because you know what to do. That is the brutal part. - You know you should sleep better. - You know you should build one thing. - You know you should stop chasing new ideas. - You know you should finish. - You know you should stop burning everything down and starting over. But knowing does not create consistency. So you start trying everything. - Books. - Podcasts. - Therapy. - Coaching. - Journaling. - Morning routines. - Notion systems. - Dopamine detoxes. - Productivity videos. - Another app. - Another plan. - Another identity.

I'm more of the type A kind but I need more of that Type B energy in my life 😂 What about you?

You guys... I've been reading a book I needed 25 years ago: "The Simple Guide to ADHD Regulation." Here's the TL/DR version: - Our ADHD is less than half the problem. - The bigger problem is that we almost all have nervous system dysregulation. - Nervous system dysregulation makes all our symptoms far worse. - If **ALL** you do is learn to self-regulate, you will dramatically improve. - Dysregulation is caused by being in fight-or-flight (or freeze or fawn). - Can't stop doom-scrolling? That's actually "freeze." - Keep avoiding miserable tasks? That's actually "flight." - Identify what it feels like for you to be dysregulated (unhappy stomach, tense muscles, headaches, urgency, overwhelm, racing thoughts, rumination, feeling paralyzed, negative self-talk, etc.) Solution: 1. Notice when you're dysregulated (right now, it might be all the time) 2. Physically interrupt: slow down, slow your breathing, relax your shoulders 3. Mentally interrupt: Remind yourself, "I'm exactly where I should be. I'm safe. I'm just going to keep doing one thing at a time." 4. Acknowledge the circumstance you're currently facing, and notice what is in your best interests to do next 5. Do the thing while you continue to move slowly, breathe slowly, relax, and remind yourself that you are safe. It takes practice but I have noticed DRAMATIC improvement in less than a week. I had posted a couple of weeks ago about the intense misery or even "pain" of doing unaligned work, and now I realize it was just that that work is dysregulating for me. Now that I'm consciously regulating while doing the work, the misery is 80-90% gone. Absolutely delighted about this and had to share it!!!

@Vicky Salisbury @Tia ColemanCarr @Donna Bjurlin @Simon Sharpe @Dorothea Habtamu @Mary Christou @Joan Jones @Linda Hernandez @Mads Munk @Heather Jensen you all mentioned task initiation, motivation, procrastination, or feeling overwhelmed by everything on your plate. We covered this during the Q&A so here's the breakdown. The main message: most productivity advice is way too simplistic. A new Notion dashboard or switching to a different app is not going to fix it. That's putting a bandaid on a broken system. The Harmony Productivity System works in layers, and skipping layers is why most approaches fail. Also see the attached image for reference. Layer 1: Regulation first. You can have the best system in the world, but if you sleep badly, you won't be productive. Period. The first domino is always: optimize sleep, add some movement (releases dopamine naturally), improve nutrition. Without a regulated nervous system, nothing else works. This is why so many of you feel like you "can't start." Your brain literally doesn't have the fuel. Layer 2: Purpose & Alignment. Once regulation is handled, figure out what actually lights you up. You don't need your full life purpose right now. Just arrange things so what you do is at least somewhat aligned with who you are. @Heather Jensen this is your situation. If your current job drains you, that's okay, but have a plan for what you're working toward. Knowing the "why" behind the grind makes the grind bearable. Layer 3: Two Big Rocks. Don't set 10 goals. Pick two. Mine are my health and my business. Everything else follows from keeping those two on track. @Mary Christou , this is the answer to "what should I focus on?" Fewer priorities means more follow-through. Pick two, let everything else be secondary.
