About this episode
Hey team, this week we're going to keep up our discussion of slowing down, but we're going to be focusing on memory - well, kind of. With ADHD, it can be hard for us to remember all of the things that we need to do, so what comes into play is the good old to-do list. Because when we're talking about memory, what we're really talking about in this context is task management. How we're going to remember the things we want to do and how we're going to go about doing those things.

But if we don't properly use and curate our lists, they stop being a trusted source of information. We can use our to-do lists to help plan our days, but if we find ourselves constantly not finishing our daily plans, that is a sign that we need to cut back on how much we're trying to accomplish in a single day. Part of slowing down is accepting that we don't have to do it all. To help keep our to-do lists from becoming overwhelming, it is important we're saying no more. One of the most important people we need to say to no more, however, is ourselves.
