S3e24; What the Quadrant? Jul 12, 2023

Show notes

Welcome back to Mindful As A Mother! In this week’s episode, Paige and Lindsay discuss the “solve it grid” by Dr. Tamara Rosier, PhD. The solve-it grid uses a quadrant system with the colors red, yellow, green and blue to support us in identifying where our energy lies as an individual with ADHD. Red tasks involved high emotionality and drain us the fastest, while we can recharge with blue or green. Tune in to learn how to categorize your tasks to better understand how to manage your energy expenditure and have a happier, healthier existence throughout life as an individual with ADHD. We highly recommend getting your own copy of Your Brain’s Not Broken by Tamara Rosier, PhD to get a full visual of the solve-it grid for yourself.
