Show Notes
In this episode, Dave breaks down how prioritization really works for busy professionals with adult ADHD. When everything feels urgent and your to-do list never ends, it's easy to confuse motion with progress.
This episode of Overcoming Distractions focuses on sorting tasks by importance, urgency, and, most critically, energy.
We explore an ADHD-friendly version of the framework Must / Should / Could system to reduce overwhelm and force clarity around what actually needs to get done today.
Key discussion points include:
- Why everything feels urgent when you have ADHD
- How to identify high-impact vs. low-impact tasks
- The danger of reactive work and inbox-driven days
- How to triage your current to-do list in minutes
- Why managing energy matters more than managing time
You'll walk away with practical steps to choose 1–3 meaningful priorities, align tasks with your peak focus windows, and stop letting busywork hijack your week.
If you're tired of spinning your wheels, this episode will help you focus on what truly moves the needle.
