Isn't that counter-productive? Nope! Here's why: Fact ➡️You can't focus for 8 hours straight. (That's not your ADHD, that's just being human.) We all need breaks - lots of breaks, actually. Taking breaks can allow our brains a moment to "reset" and "refresh" - ultimately improving our ability to focus. 🚫CAUTION: 🚫 Just switching over to YouTube - that's not a restorative break. Instead, I recommend getting up and moving around. Go for a short walk. Get a drink of water. Something like that. How often do you take breaks while you are working?

Prioritization Struggles? You're Not Alone! If you have ADHD, you might find prioritizing tasks a real challenge. Don't worry - you're not alone! Here's an easy and effective strategy to help you tackle that to-do list: 💡 The 1-3-5 Rule: Choose 1 big task - the most important thing you need to get done. Select 3 medium tasks - these are important but not urgent. Pick 5 small tasks - quick and easy to finish. By breaking your tasks into manageable chunks, you'll find it easier to focus on what's essential and feel accomplished as you complete each task. Give it a try and see how it works for you! Remember, progress over perfection. You've got this! Do you want to get things done in a way that feels easier and authentic for you?  Contact me for a free discovery call.  www.suzycarbrey.com

I am a manager with 10+ years of experience and with ADHD ☺️. I can manage processes, be in 10 tasks simultaneously, immediately propose solutions, motivate people, and can’t manage or motivate myself. Sure I am not OK with that, and for me it’s a daily hardwork. 🫵Last case: I can’t send a time report for a week already (sorry Karol Klepacki), because that’s a routine tasks. Instead of it I am doing other projects in x10 regime and find 100+ new tasks. But it’s still a procrastination. It shouldn’t necessarily look like staring into the wall. Due to the experience of fighting with it since school, I have some working lifehacks that help me. 🎈Today I am going to share one of them: Make a list of reasons “why I need to proceed with this work/task”. At least 10-15. Sounds easy but it really makes a trick with your brain. The reason is that the common reason for procrastination is an inability to realise the long-term consequences of not doing something. And how do you fight with this condition? Any tips?

Helping our children manage anxiety can feel challenging, especially when they face unique sensory, social, and emotional needs. Here are some actionable steps to create a calmer, more supportive environment: 1️⃣ Understand & Recognize Anxiety Triggers Notice when and why anxiety spikes. Many children with autism, ADHD, or sensory processing disorder react to specific situations, sounds, or changes in routine. Keeping a journal of these moments can help identify patterns, so you can prepare or adjust as needed. 2️⃣ Create a Safe & Consistent Routine Routines help children feel grounded and reduce uncertainty. Try visual schedules or morning check-ins to add predictability to their day. Reviewing daily events can mentally prepare them and lower anxiety over the unknown. 3️⃣ Teach Breathing & Relaxation Techniques Deep breathing and muscle relaxation exercises can help during anxious moments. Try the “smell the flowers, blow out the candles” method—breathing in like they’re smelling a flower, and exhaling like blowing out a candle. Practicing these together can make it easier for them to use these techniques independently. 4️⃣ Use a Calming Sensory Kit Sensory tools like fidget toys, stress balls, or weighted blankets provide comfort during stressful times. Create a “calm corner” with sensory items they can access when they feel overwhelmed. This space can help them self-soothe without needing constant intervention. Small steps like these can make a big difference in your child’s comfort and confidence. You’re not alone on this journey! #SpecialEducation #ParentingTips #AnxietySupport #CalmingStrategies #SensoryFriendly #ADHDSupport

🌟 ADHD Productivity Hack: Break Tasks Down & Use Timers! ⏱️ Struggling to stay on top of your tasks? You're not alone, but I've got a strategy that can make a HUGE difference: breaking tasks into smaller steps and setting timers. 1. Break It Down 📝 Large tasks can feel overwhelming. Simplify them by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable steps. Instead of "finish project," try breaking it down into:   - Outline the project   - Research key points   - Write the introduction   - Draft main sections   - Review and edit This way, you can focus on one small task at a time, making the overall project less daunting. 2. Set a Timer ⏲️ Timers are your best friend! Use techniques like the Pomodoro Technique:   - Work for 25 minutes   - Take a 5-minute break   - Repeat 4 times, then take a longer break (15-30 minutes) This method helps maintain focus and gives your brain regular breaks, making it easier to stay engaged. 3. Stay Focused 🎯 Knowing you only have to concentrate for 25 minutes can make starting tasks less intimidating. Plus, the frequent breaks help prevent burnout and keep your energy levels up. 4. Use Tools 🛠️ Leverage productivity tools that help you organize your tasks and set timers. There are many apps designed to assist with breaking tasks down and timing your work sessions. Try these tips and watch your productivity soar! 🚀 Remember, small steps can lead to big achievements. #ADHD #ProductivityHacks #TimeManagement #FocusTips #ADHDSupport #GetThingsDone

“I’m neurodivergent and have ADHD Nothing is working for me and I’m a very difficult case.” That was my client’s first words, before we even started our work. The deadlines give her anxiety and overwhelming frustration. She got very easily anxious with long to-do list, her brain was glitching when she was stressed and by the end of the day she felt like a dead body. She constantly was playing catch 22 game, exhausted, overstimulated, anxious about the next day and all the activities -> beating herself up for not being able to do everything -> getting more and more anxious by wanting to do more -> constantly thinking she is wears and asking why she can’t be like everyone else. The biggest bummer for her was, she loves to learn new things and being busy. It’ like a fruitful soil for her and her mind. But, she couldn’t keep up 😒 So we create a routine for her, where she had blocks of focused time for work, to learn new things, and breaks in between. We build on her interests, what has been working for her all those years and re-check why certain things didn’t work. We used her creative mind to optimise her routine, use her passion for nature and crafty mindset. So she could learn new things, do everything she planned in the day without being overwhelmed or stressed, and have energy left in the evening. She is no longer dreading next day or playing catch 22, instead she is enjoying her morning walk, crafty projects and learning 2-3 new things daily. There is no one size fit all, I love to know my client and create the ways that works for them, instead of trying to fit them into existing moulds. Which process do you feel can be adjusted in your daily routines? If you feeling like the existing approach isn’t working as you like or you want to twist it just a notch, DM me. Let’s see what can be done here.

⏳ Struggling with time management? You’re not alone. ⏳ For many people with ADHD, time isn’t something they naturally “feel.” This experience, often called time blindness, can make managing schedules, meeting deadlines, and planning ahead incredibly challenging. Unlike those who can intuitively sense how time passes, individuals with ADHD may struggle to estimate how long tasks will take, or even remember events that aren’t immediately visible in their day-to-day lives. Time blindness can impact work, relationships, and overall well-being. Missed deadlines or late arrivals can create stress in professional settings, while lost time with friends and family—despite the best intentions—can unintentionally strain relationships. With time slipping by unnoticed, life can feel like it’s split between “now” and “not now,” with everything that’s not immediate feeling almost invisible. Yet, recognizing time blindness is an important first step toward making positive changes. By understanding it’s part of how the ADHD brain works—not a personal failing—new strategies can help. Setting visual timers, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and creating structured routines are all tools that support those with ADHD in managing time. Learning to work with time blindness, rather than against it, fosters not only productivity but also self-compassion.🌟 If you or someone you know experiences these struggles, know that you’re not alone—and that understanding and support are available to help navigate these unique challenges. 💡 #ADHD #TimeBlindness #TimeManagement #Neurodiversity #MentalHealth
