Think your problem is poor time management? Think again. If your color-coded calendar keeps failing you, the missing piece isn’t another app, planner, or hack—it’s capacity.
In this episode, we’re digging into why ADHD brains chronically overbook, underestimate, and run ourselves into the ground. You’ll learn:
- The hidden reason productivity hacks don’t stick
- Why “fantasy scheduling” feels so good (but always backfires)
- How to spot your real mental, emotional, and physical limits
- A simple shift that helps you build a schedule you can actually keep
If you’re tired of chasing unicorn days and shaming yourself when reality doesn’t match the plan, this conversation will change how you see time management forever. Hit play and start planning for real life—not the fantasy version of it.
