Summary

This episode is the recording of August’s live Q&A. The questions answered in this episode were submitted by listeners of this podcast, both ahead of time and live. Brendan Mahan once again joins me on this Q&A. This month, we have a few questions on careers. We talk about exploring careers and finding the one that best suits us and our strengths and weaknesses, and we talk about being successful with a manager or in a workplace that is not necessarily ADHD-friendly. If you’re listening to this on the day it is published, you can listen to September’s live Q&A at 1:30pm Eastern. Join Brendan Mahan and me as we answer your questions live. You can register at .

She also asks about disclosing ADHD. [18:13] - Nick asks about using rewards to manufacture a habit. [23:30] - Madeline admits to starting a lot of things, and finishing few of them because of “choice paralysis.” She asks how to overcome this. [30:40] - Christian shares a dilemma with us. He believes he is in the career field he wants to do, but now he’s not sure. He’s having trouble with blending his passions with his abilities, which are impacted by ADHD.
