Automating Your ADHD Life Part 1 (Rebroadcast)

August 24, 2026 · 18 min

Show notes

We're diving back into the vault today to bring you a foundational episode on one of my favorite ADHD strategies: Automation.

We all know the struggle—if it's interesting, we're all in. If it's boring? It's nearly impossible to start. Because so much of "adulting" is inherently repetitive, automation allows us to frontload our work so our "future selves" don't have to rely on willpower alone.

Top Tips from this Rebroadcast:

  • Frontload your effort: Save time and brainpower by making decisions once and letting tech handle the rest.

  • Systematize first: Learn why reducing steps in a task is often more important than the gadget you use to do it.

  • Automated Accountability: How to let your teammates know you've finished a task without having to remember to send that "done" email.

  • Smart Home, Clear Mind: Exploring the possibilities of smart speakers and sensors to keep your household running on autopilot.
