  • The ADHD Time Toolkit: How to Work With Your Brain, Not Against It
    Aug 13 2025

    If you’ve got ADHD — officially diagnosed or self-identified— and you’ve been feeling like you should have time management figured out by now, but somehow never quite master it… this episode is for you.

    It’s not because you’re lazy, broken, or bad at adulting.It’s because the tools you’ve been given probably weren’t designed for your brain. ADHD brains experience time differently — which means the overwhelm, time blindness, and “everything is urgent” spiral can leave you feeling liketime is slipping through your fingers.

    I don’t have ADHD myself, but after working with so manyincredible women who do, I dove into the research, listened to my clients, and experimented until I found a collection of tools that actually work — even on the busiest, most distracted, kid-chaos-filled days.

    That’s how my ADHD Time Toolkit (and the ADHD-friendly features of the Time Magic™ Planner) was born.

    In this episode, I’m sharing:

    • Why most planners and time management systems fail ADHD brains (and what works instead)
    • The exact ADHD-friendly features I built into the Time Magic™ Planner — and how to use them
    • Real client stories that will make you feel seen
    • My top time tips for ADHD brains, including how to set timers that actually help you leave on time
    • Quick-start motivation tricks for the days when you just can’t get going


    If you’re ready to stop fighting your brain and startworking with it, this conversation is your permission slip to do time your way.
