My brain experienced this post as inspiration to personal attack in under 3 seconds.

And this is exactly why I expanded my education and coaching to partner with leaders with ADHD.

Challenges with focus and priorities aren’t character flaws or a lack of intention. They’re often operating system realities.

90% of your productivity comes down to just 3 things:

1. Energy.
You can’t manage time if you don’t manage energy.
Sleep, movement, and breaks. That’s your real fuel.
Run out of energy, and no system or app can save you.

2. Focus.
Distraction is the enemy.
Every notification is a tax on your brain.
The best performers protect their attention like it’s gold… because it is.

3. Priorities.
Most of what we do doesn’t matter.
The key is knowing the few things that do and doing those first.
Everything else is noise.

Master these 3 and the rest takes care of itself.
