In this episode, host Sarah is joined by Alexis Haselberger, a time management, productivity, and leadership coach. Alexis, who was diagnosed with ADHD through her work with clients, shares her journey from the high-pressure world of Silicon Valley startups to becoming a coach focused on sustainable success. The conversation explores crucial strategies for adults with ADHD, particularly in high-pressure environments, focusing on the power of self-compassion. Alexis discusses: Reframing Self-Criticism: Why kindness and celebrating small wins (even just putting on your shoes!) are essential for motivation, contrasting with the common belief that being harsh leads to improvement. Practical Workplace Boundaries: Implementing communication boundaries, like turning off notifications and using "away" messages, to protect mental health and maintain focus. The External Brain: The necessity of a trusted external task system (like alarms and reminders) to manage short-term memory issues and reduce anxiety. The Myth of "Doing It All": How accepting that you cannot "do it all" gives you agency over your life and time, making life about intentional trade-offs and effective prioritization rather than endless overwork. Tune in to learn how to leverage self-compassion to increase productivity and gain a sense of control over your life. 🔗 Resources Mentioned Adulting with ADHD Podcast Archives: patreon.com/adultingwithadhd Sponsor Offer (ADHD Online Assessment): Visit ADHDOnline.com and use promo code ADULTINGADHD40 to save $40. 🔗 Connect with Alexis Haselberger Website: www.alexishaselberger.com
