Brain Friendly Systems for Professionals who want to Do It All with Skye Waterson
Manage episode 483634422 series 1862512
My therapist recently asked if anyone had ever talked to me about ADHD. While I've never been formally diagnosed, that question sparked a journey into understanding how our brains work—especially when running a business. That's why I was thrilled to chat with Skye Waterson, an ADHD strategist who helps entrepreneurs build "brain-friendly" systems.
Skye discovered her own ADHD during her PhD studies and has since developed an approach called "Unconventional Organisation" that works with your natural thinking patterns instead of against them.
If you've ever found yourself with 30 browser tabs open, jumping between half-finished projects, or creating elaborate systems you abandon by Tuesday, this conversation might be exactly what you need. Skye's practical approach cuts through the noise and focuses on what actually moves your business forward while leaving room for you to be present with your family.

Top Takeaways
- Most of us genuinely have fewer than five truly urgent tasks each day—learning to identify what has actual external consequences versus what just feels urgent can instantly reduce overwhelm
- Create systems that match your natural processing style rather than forcing yourself to use tools that don't work for your brain
- Find dopamine sources outside your business—hobbies and interests prevent you from creating unnecessary complexity just to keep things exciting
