What we say to ourselves matters, right? We listen to ourselves, and we're counting it as evidence so being able to notice and think about how you can shift your thinking or re-frame thoughts to support yourself is important.  

In this episode, host Kate Bendewald continues her discussion around mental health with Sarah Lovell, an executive function and ADHD coach. We will help normalize procrastination and overwhelm and learn skills and tactical tips to get s#!t done!

Here’s a glance at the episode:

  • [03:55] We get started with a discussion about what executive functioning is and how Sarah got started working with other female business professionals to prioritize, start and finish tasks, problem-solve, etc.

  • [08:20] I share my personal struggles with staying on task and how I have to set up my environment for the best productivity as possible. We discuss distractions and tactics for trying to minimize distractions with various tools.

  • [15:30] Sarah shares a few strategies from her toolkit to keep all the thoughts we have each day and organize them somewhere outside of just our heads and how to use visual systems.

  • [28:15] We chat about feeling in limbo when you feel “stuck” and how to create a list of things to do that can re-energize you and help you get back on track and create again.

  • [36:15] Sarah and I chat all about prioritizing tasks and deadlines along with asking for help when you need it.

  • [46:40] Sarah shares the concept of time tracking and time blindness which helps us visualize time when working on a project so that we can avoid going down an unnecessary rabbit hole.
