Ep 16 - ADHD, Motivation, and getting shiz done!

This podcast is recorded on the lands of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri People. We pay respect to Elders past, present, and emerging, and to any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people listening.

This podcast is all about our experience with Callie's late ADHD diagnosis and the questions we have as we continue to navigate life. This podcast is in no way medical advice or intended to be used as a diagnostic tool.

Welcome to episode 16! Today Callie and Lauchy are talking all about motivation, task initiation, and how to navigate these really tricky, and common symptoms that many ADHDers struggle with. Many of the things we talk about in this episode are totally relevant to non-neuromagical people and well worth listening to if you sometimes find yourself struggling with getting motivated. We were so into this topic that didn't do very many sidequests!

We love hearing about our listeners' experiences with ADHD, and we'd love to hear yours if you want to join us on the mics - drop us a DM (socials are at F them fish_ADHD for grownups) or an email ([email protected]). This week we're asking you to send us your motivations and NOtivations. We also want your splashback/urinal stories, AND who's right - Callie or Lauchy? Ledge or no ledge? Finally, if you want to talk with us about music and ADHD, we'd love to have you record with us!

Topics covered:

• We absolutely, flipping, completely, bloody love our listeners! With people in 45 countries now, (a single download counts!!) it is those of you who come back every week that are our faves
• Listening to podcasts is a commitment from our listeners, as a longer content form, you may be surprised at how low listeners numbers are compared to other media. We celebrate with another podcast whose first episode just reached 500 downloads.
• Urinal Dilemma! Honestly...I haven't laughed that much in ages!!
• Exercise experiment and Circadian reset update
• Motivation versus task initiation - what is the difference? How to avoid NOtivation.
• What is the 'ADHD Pause'? And how it connects to ADHD Paralysis

Sidequests:

• Callie went OUT out!
• We have 1...ONE blueberry on our bush, go near it at your peril
• If Books could kill podcast and The Secret episode
• Cleaning the shower - spoiler alert, get a drill
