Mastering the ADHD Brain: From Task Overwhelm to Intuitive Activity Alignment
Finding Your Flow With an Intuitive Approach to Task Overwhelm
It’s easy for people with ADHD to allow tasks to pile up, causing anxiety that could lead to negative self-talk and depression, sometimes worse.
In my last article, I shared three easy ways to halt the hamster wheel in your ADHD brain.
One of those is the brain dump, a timed activity in which you write down everything in your mind to “clear the mental cache”.
Why Clearing the Mental Cache is Key
For women with ADHD, hyperactivity is often inside our minds.
That, at its worst, it can feel like a spinning ball with lights and sounds a-blare, tumbling around a cage of ADHD that won’t let our thoughts settle down.
Sometimes, that cage prevents our thoughts from coming out in a logical sequence.
Clearing your mental cache, under full permission to just “get it out” without the pressure of organizing thoughts, gives you the mental space needed to get clarity from your thoughts.
Once you perform your brain dump, you can parse out your list of tasks to get you on the road to accomplishment.
