Adult ADHD ADD Tips and Support Podcast – A Podcast for Neurodivergent Creatives. ADHD Mind Mapping – How to Break Down an Overwhelming Task. This podcast is an audio companion to the book “The Drummer and the Great Mountain – A Guidebook to Transforming Adult ADD / ADHD.”

ADHD task paralysis can really take us down.

Mind mapping is THE tool for maximizing how our creative brains work, while minimizing our challenges with executive functioning. It’s a non-linear method of getting your thoughts out of your head and into a form you can look at, organize, make plans, and prioritize.

In this episode we’ll cover an often overwhelming task: where to start when attempting to tidy up a messy home office. We’ll go through, step-by-step, how to create your action plan using mind mapping so you’ll arrive at a simple checklist that can be followed over the span of a few sessions.
