I'm Lindsay and I was officially diagnosed with ADHD in March of 2025 at the age of 42 - I've believed for the last 15-20 years that I had ADHD but I didn't bother getting diagnosed because I felt like I was doing okay and didn't want to go on meds. However, during COVID when I was forced to work from home instead of in an office around other people (natural body doubling that I need but didn't know I needed before I knew what body doubling was). I intended to go get a diagnosis and try medication but due to my ADHD procrastination tendencies, it was years before I actually found where to go and went to do it. Over the last few years it's felt like it's been getting worse and I've been struggling more and more with it. Some of that is the continued work from home scenarios I've been in, but I recently learned that ADHD symptoms can often get worse for women around their 30s/40s due to changing hormones - learning that made me feel better, feel like its not my fault, it's my body and mind doing it to me. I'm really hoping that I can find a way to better live with this and get back to being the productive and happy person that I used to be.

O my, how fast did this go?!!!! Congratulations 🎊 @Jim Ebbelaar and congratulations lovely members!!!! Your all such lovely people helping each other and learning and growing together! I'm so grateful for all of you here and can't wait to experience the next challenge with all of you!!!

Hey everyone, Jim here. Three things announced today. 1. The next 5-Day Challenge kicks off August 31: Free, live, and rebuilt from the ground up. This is the best version we've ever run. Save your spot here. Then do the part that actually decides whether you show up. Open your own calendar, block the hour on all five days, and set two reminders. For brains like ours, if it's not in the calendar it doesn't exist. Do it now, while this post is still on your screen. It takes two minutes. 2. Still finishing something something? You have until July 20 ⚠️ If you're working through the ADHD Focus Reset or the current 5-Day Challenge, they stay open through Monday July 20. After that everything closes until August 31. 3. New onboarding, and a new AI experience: The ADHD Operating Manual. The first section is free for every member, so you can try it before you decide. The full version is $27 right now instead of $99. Temporary. And that $27 is one single payment, no subscription. It also opens the chat with my AI twin: three messages a day, every day, all the way until the challenge starts on August 31. Ask it why you keep doing that one thing, and it answers with everything it already knows about you from your own reports. So tell me where you're at. Vote in the poll, it takes one tap. And if you're coming August 31, type a comment below and include the word: CHALLENGE and let us know how excited you are 🥳 With love, 💛 Jim

Let me paint you a picture of my office six months ago: paper everywhere, digital files scattered like confetti, and me context-jumping three or four times a day between different clients and different projects. For an ADHD brain, that is not just messy. That is a full-blown obstacle course before I have even started the actual work. My office has ALWAYS been my struggle zone. The nature of my work means I am constantly switching lanes, and every switch left another little pile behind. Physical piles. Digital piles. Guilt piles. 𝗘𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗯𝘂𝗴 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝘄. 🐛 Cathy @Cathy A Castagna , @Shani Sherwin @Judy Hamilton Four of us, each tackling our own war zone, side by side. Some Body Doubling via AI Harmony and some on WhatAPP - and sometimes 𝗕𝗢𝗧𝗛. Some of us on paper. Some on the digital jungle. Some of us in boxes packed away for months, years, and some of us getting ready for a life transition/shift. All of us cheering each other on. With Cathy and Shani, we've been doing some bedroom and kitchen stuff - hahah, I live alone, and do I really need - 42 plates, and bowls, and `18 cups, - some will be packed for those special occassions - you know the one, where Gran used to get the special cutlery, doileys etc out, but some will go to my She Shed - aka Mosaic Mayhem place of wonderment - or pehaps a Greek Dinner party in the waiting, With Judy, I have been going to war on my files, my paper, my physical AND digital clutter. And here is the honest update: I am not done. Not even close. There is still much to do. 𝗕𝗨𝗧. My files are so much better. My paper is 60 ish % improved - we both chatted about "old resources" - why do we have them, can I even find them? Are they catelogued (ahaha same as pulled out recipes - someday!!!!) can i get them online now?" Finding what I need does not feel like hunting for a needle in a haystack anymore. It is getting EASIER. And that, for a brain that used to freeze at the sight of my own desk, is enormous.
