He shares simple tips like using weekly plans, coworking, and loose time-blocks to make progress without burnout. This episode helps you feel less alone and more in control of how you work.

Steve talks about how ADHD entrepreneurs often feel guilty for not getting enough done. He explains that this “productivity shame” comes from trying to use systems that don’t fit how ADHD brains work.

Letting go of shame and working with your brain helps you stay focused, feel better, and get more done.
