Ep 90. Help for When You Don't Follow Through

We all do it. We planned to do something, believed we would and then we drop the ball. For whatever reasons, something we 100 % planned to do didn't happen.
When we don't follow through with the things that matter to us, we may have our own "stories" about why. The problem with these stories is that they are often harsh. judgmental, and leave no room for actual problem solving!
Approaching our failures with curiosity and openness allows us to find solutions that work for our brains. We can "flop" artfully when we take a moment to analyze how it happened and what we need for a different result. On today's episode of ADHD Crash Course, we'll discover practical ways we can do that!
