Stop Scheduling Time. Start Scheduling Tasks with Dr. Kailey Buller

What is your biggest challenge with ADHD?

You sit down to work for two hours. An hour later you have rewritten your to-do list, checked your phone, and made coffee. The work is not done.

Dr. Kailey Buller is back with a quick win that fits how the ADHD brain actually works. Stop scheduling time. Start scheduling tasks. Block an afternoon for "finish two pages and the one-page PDF," not "work from one to four." You already do this with errands without thinking about it. Apply it on purpose to everything else.

In this episode:

• Why time blindness makes time blocks feel the same whether they're 30 minutes or 3 hours
• How task-based scheduling gives your brain a discrete edge to grab onto: done or not done
• The dopamine reward that makes the next task more likely to start
• How to use unexpected 20-minute pockets without losing them to figuring out what to do
• The laundry reframe that lets you redefine what "done" actually means

Dr. Kailey Buller is a double board-certified physician in Emergency Medicine and Family Medicine, mom of two, and creator of Surviving Tiny Humans.
