When your schedule flips on you by 10 am, most traditional planning advice leaves you stranded. This episode walks you through three flexible planning strategies designed specifically for ADHD brains navigating irregular schedules and unpredictable days. Whether you're juggling client calls, shifting deadlines, or the beautiful chaos of caregiving, these methods adapt with you.

Tune into Episode 361 and discover:

  • How to anchor your day to one priority so decision fatigue doesn't derail you when time opens up unexpectedly
  • The difference between clock time and event time — and why leaning into event time can be a more sustainable structure for unpredictable schedules
  • Why intentionally building in overflow time is one of the most supportive things we can do for our ADHD brains (and how to do it without guilt)
