The ADHD Trap You Don’t Even Realize You’re In – Toxic Productivity – And How to Escape It

🚨 You sit down to work… and suddenly, hours disappear into overthinking, procrastination, or chasing “one more thing.”
📉 Your to-do list? A disaster. 💩
⚡ Your brain? Running on overdrive, but somehow getting nothing done. ☕
😡 And the worst part? No matter how hard you push yourself, it never feels like enough. 😰

You’re not lazy. You’re stuck in ☢️ toxic productivity—a never-ending cycle of ✨doing more✨ to prove your worth.

And if you’ve got ADHD? It’s even worse. 😭

That’s why I sat down with neuroscientist & author Anne-Laure Le Cunff on The More Than ADHD™️ Podcast to talk about:

🔹 Why ADHD brains chase approval & success—and why it never feels satisfying 🏆❌
🔹 How Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) fuels overthinking & self-doubt 😬💭
🔹 The game-changing ADHD hack that actually boosts productivity (without burnout!) 🙌

👩‍🔬 The ADHD Productivity Hack That Changes EVERYTHING

Instead of forcing yourself into a broken system, try this: Tiny Experiments. 🧪

💡 Step 1: Pick one thing you struggle with (mornings, task switching, focus).
💡 Step 2: Change one variable for 2 weeks. (Example: Shift deep work to afternoons instead of mornings).
💡 Step 3: No self-judgment. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s learning what actually works for your brain. 🧠✨

🧐 Instead of beating yourself up, stay neutral, and become the scientist 👩‍🔬 of your own life. No failure—just data! 📊
