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.

Hey, what's up? This is Kristen Carter, and you're listening to the I Have ADHD podcast. I am medicated. I am caffeinated. I'm regulated, and I am ready to roll.

Let's have a look at how are you? How are you so good to be with you today?

I'm thrilled. Sorry, for the extra tone in my voice, but I am so thrilled. I'm going to be sharing some good news with you.

I am actually recording this episode of Month in advance. I don't usually do that. I'm not that person that works that far ahead, but I'm trying to prepare for vacation.

I'm not that person that works, and summer, and kids being home, and all of the things.

So you're hearing this episode on or after its release date on June 20, 2023, but today that I'm recording this is actually May 23rd.

We hit 5 million downloads today, 5 million podcasts downloads. It's such a huge one. I'm so thrilled. We did it.

We did it, and by we, I mean you and me. We did this together. It doesn't matter if I'm recording podcasts if you're not listening to them.

And you are some so, so, so happy. It doesn't matter if I'm putting the info out there. If you're not enjoying it and sharing it and sending it to your friends, your family, posting it on your socials, it makes such a big difference.

Your ratings, your reviews, all of it. It's making this podcast work, and I'm just, I'm so thankful. I'm just filled with gratitude and joy and disrespect.

Just respect, not disrespect. It's something disrespect, but no, no, just respect for this ADHD community that is so vastly underserved.

Thank you for listening. If you haven't liked subscribed, followed whatever your preferred podcast platform tells you to do it.

If you've got ADHD, that means that you're working memory sucks, which means that if you don't subscribe to this podcast, you're probably just going to listen and enjoy it and then forget it exists.

Not because you don't want to listen again, but because you just literally it's like out of sight, out of mind, I forget it exists.

So which by the way is totally understandable because hello ADHD, but just don't forget to give it a like, give it a subscribe, give it the things that you need to give it.

So today we're talking about what to do when you realize that you've over scheduled yourself. And this is going to hit home, I think quite, quite hard.

I don't know, it's going to hit home and it's coming directly from my own life experience of the last couple weeks and the next couple weeks.

Ironically, I recorded that podcast on how to cut down on chaos. And then I effectively made my life extremely chaotic. So now, now the podcast is what to do when you realize that like shoot, I've over scheduled myself.
