113 - More ADHD, More Depression, Less Consistency Nov 06, 2023

Show notes

Here is an update on what depression feels like inside my skull spaghetti. ADHD and Depression are not easy mental roomates, but we are all doing the best we can!
I mention again the power of community. The challenge for you this week is to reach out via email or the contact form on the website with your declaration of "the thing you are going to get done tomorrow."

Make sure to be specific and include:

The specific thing you will be working on
The specific time you will start on it (make it an appointment in your calendar to remind yourself tomorrow)
The amount of time you will be working on it. (do NOT work on it until it's done. If the timer goes off and you aren't done...make sure you celebrate that you did what you said you were going to do. Acknowledge the victory before you jump back in to finish.
Feel free to send another email when you are done and any insights you got from the completing the challenge!

Have a great week!
Russ

112 - ADHD, Depression, and Consistency Oct 29, 2023

Show notes

It is hard enough to motivate to do a crappy thing once. But to be consistent?! To do a crappy thing over and over again? HOW?! With ADHD and Depression, this can be such a monumental hurdle to overcome. I have some ideas.
Today I'm sharing a couple things that I have seen work for me in terms of being cool with myself and making positive strides at moving my needle forward. Hope it helps!

110 - A Prescription For Depression Oct 16, 2023

Show notes

What do we do when pills aren't on the menu? Does that mean we don't have any ability to treat our depression?
Well that doesn't work for me so I'm working on a 30 day prescription for my own depression. I've been living inside a depressive episode for a few weeks now and I'm turning up my efforts at treating it.
I'm doing this without medication and I'm very curious if it's going to make any positive change. We shall see! If you have a holistic way of dealing with your depression, I would be very interested! Please reach out through the website www.adhdbigbrother.com

106 - The ADHD Workaround When Chunking Down Fails Sep 18, 2023

Show notes

It really sucks when I have a big project or goal and the advice to chunk things down into smaller components doesn't work! Chunking down is supposed to be what fixes things...
I'm a big fan of the chunk down, but we still need a way to move our needle forward when the chunk is bunk. When we have bunkin' chunkin' we need some funkin' help. I have a couple ideas in today's podcast.
