Welcome to the I have ADHD podcast where it's all about education, encouragement and

coaching for adults with ADHD. I'm your host Kristen Carter and I have ADHD. Let's chat about the frustrations, humor, and challenges of adulting, relationships, working, and achieving with this neurodevelopmental disorder.

I'll help you understand your unique brain, unlock your potential, and move from point A to point B.

Hello, hello, what is up?

This is Kristen Carter and you are listening to the I have ADHD podcast. This is a

bonus episode. I am medicated, I am caffeinated, I'm a little fuzzy today, but I am ready to roll.

Do you ever have one of those days where you just feel like you're operating

maybe like inside of a dream?

I feel like I'm floating today, super fuzzy,

still here with you because I know exactly what is essential

for me to be doing, and it is this podcast.

I am reading Greg McEwen's book Essentialism for the second time. The last time I read it I think was like 2019.

Anyway, it is so freaking good I cannot even begin to describe to you how much it has influenced my life,

my business, all of the things and the premise of the book is that if we truly commit ourselves to what is

essential we will be much more fulfilled and be much more successful. Now it struck me this second time around reading this book that this is

one of the keys to being inconsistent and successful.

Now I'm going to kick right now,

I'm sure many of you know, I am hyper focusing on this concept

that you don't have to be consistent in order to be successful.

And now so many experts out there tell us that consistency is key.

It is the key to success, but I honestly think that's BS, which is good.

It's very good news for us, right?
