Do you ever feel like you’re carrying the weight of (multiple) D.O.O.M. piles on your shoulders? Balancing work, home, family, and everything in between can leave anyone feeling overwhelmed. 😵💫 But when it comes to asking for help, guilt, and perfectionism often get in the way. 😖
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Delegation is a challenge for so many of us, especially if you have ADHD. But here’s the truth: Delegation isn’t a ⛓️ weakness—it’s a strength. It’s about creating the freedom to focus on what truly matters. 💥⛓️💥
If you’ve ever wished you could hand off just one task 🪨 and breathe a little easier, this episode is for you. Don’t let guilt or perfectionism hold you back from focusing on what truly matters. 🚀
Why Does Delegation Feel So Hard For Adults With ADHD? 😭
Let’s start by addressing the elephant 🐘 in the room: why is it so hard to ask for help? 🤦
For many of us, it boils down to guilt. 😔 We think, “I should be able to do it all myself,” and that single word—should—can be loaded with shame. Then there’s perfectionism, whispering in your ear: “No one else will care about this as much as I do.”
This mindset can keep you trapped in a cycle of burnout. 🌀🔥🪫 But the reality is, that asking for help isn’t admitting failure—it’s about recognizing your limits and making intentional choices. ✅ ❌
The Freedom That Comes With Letting Go 🚀
Delegation is about more than just getting tasks off your plate. It’s about giving yourself the time ⏱️and energy 🔋 to focus on the things that bring you joy and move the needle forward in your life. 📈
When I first started delegating, it was a game changer. I went from trying borderline burnout from trying to do everything myself—ADHD coaching, managing social media, admin tasks, website updates, CRM updates, bookkeeping—to finally handing off the tasks that drained me. The result? I felt lighter, 🌤️ more focused, and more excited about the work I love doing. 😍
