Comment FLOW and I’ll send you all the deets on my book. 📘

Ever had five things on your list and felt like you had 50?
The list isn’t showing the whole workload.

Your brain is tracking the tasks PLUS:
→ What do I do first?
→ How long will this take?
→ Where did I put that file?
→ Did I answer that email?
→ Is someone waiting on me?
→ What am I forgetting?
That invisible mental load counts too.

This is why I stopped judging my workload by how overwhelmed I feel.

Sometimes I don’t need to do less.

I need to get everything out of my head, sort it and close some loops.

Everything feels urgent with ADHD, but interesting ≠ urgent.

🎧 Comment 222 for this week’s ADHD CEO episode.

09/15/2026

I sat down at my computer convinced I was behind on EVERYTHING.

You know that ADHD feeling.

17 tabs open.

Emails you need to answer.

Content you need to make.

A client is waiting on something.

You remembered a bill.

You had a new business idea.

You noticed something on your website that needs fixing.

And somehow your brain has assigned every single one of those things the exact same priority:

🚨 DO IT RIGHT NOW.

So I started going through my list.

And here's what I found.

Some things were already done.

Some had actual deadlines.

Some were holding up other people.

Some were directly connected to revenue.

And some?

They were just interesting.

That was the problem.

I didn't necessarily have too much to do.

I had too much that FELT equally important.

That's a very different problem.

So instead of asking:

"How the hell am I going to get all of this done?"

I started asking:

1. What has an actual deadline?
2. What is costing me money by sitting unfinished?
3. Who is waiting on me?
4. What can I completely CLOSE in 10 minutes?
5. What does not need to live in my brain anymore?

That changed the list FAST.

One of the biggest skills I've had to learn as an ADHD entrepreneur is this:

Interesting ≠ urgent.

And "not now" ≠ never.

Sometimes productivity isn't about figuring out how to do more.

It's figuring out what DOESN'T deserve your attention today.

I broke the whole thing down in Episode 222 of The ADHD CEO Podcast. 👇

What usually wins when everything feels urgent for you?

The actual priority?

The interesting thing?

Or complete paralysis? 😅

What if constantly starting over isn't proof that you're inconsistent?

What if you've accidentally built systems that only work when your ADHD brain is operating at full capacity?

That's a VERY different problem.

Because then the answer isn't:

Try harder.

Become more disciplined.

Buy another planner.

Find the perfect routine.

The question becomes:

How do I create systems that can bend without breaking?

Systems where missing Tuesday doesn't destroy Wednesday.

Where a sick kid doesn't kill the entire week.

Where an important email doesn't disappear because I forgot to check the right app.

Where I know exactly what matters when my capacity drops.

Where coming back doesn't require starting over.

That's what I mean when I say your systems need a lower gear.

And lately, I've become much less interested in helping ADHD professionals and entrepreneurs figure out how to perform at 100%...

and much MORE interested in what happens at 40%.

Because that's where we find out whether the system actually works.

I unpacked this in Episode 221 of The ADHD CEO Podcast.

But I'm also working on something bigger around this idea.

And I'm doing something I don't always do:

I'm not building it yet.

I'm listening first.

So whether you're running a business, leading a team, building a career, or trying to manage the 900 things competing for your attention every day...

I want to know:

👇 What do you KNOW you should be doing consistently that your ADHD brain still makes ridiculously hard to actually DO?

I'm paying very close attention to the answers.

09/11/2026

3 things I want every ADHD entrepreneur to do BEFORE buying another planner, CRM or productivity system:

1. Ask: Is it broken or am I bored?

Be careful about solving a repetition problem with novelty.

Sometimes the system stopped working.

Sometimes you've just reached the boring part where you have to keep using it.

Those aren't the same problem.

2. Create a re-entry rule.

Decide NOW what happens when you miss a day.

Not when you're already three days behind and pi**ed at yourself.

Mine is simple:

Find the next useful action.

No catching up on everything.

No waiting until Monday.

Re-enter.

3. Create your Minimum Viable Business Day.

If tomorrow completely goes to hell...

What are the 2–3 things that keep your business alive?

Mine might look like:

→ Serve current clients
→ Follow up with warm leads
→ Make one sales invitation

That's it.

Your business needs a lower gear.

Because if your systems only work when you're having a fantastic brain day...

They're not actually ADHD-friendly systems.

I broke all three of these down on this week's ADHD CEO Podcast.

👇 What's ONE thing that absolutely has to happen for your business to keep moving on a low-capacity day?

09/10/2026

ADHD entrepreneurs don't always need better systems.

Sometimes we need to stop abandoning the systems we already have.

There.

I said it. 😂

Because I've watched this happen over and over.

Content isn't moving fast enough?

New strategy.

Sales are down?

New offer.

Stopped using the CRM?

New CRM.

Planner isn't exciting anymore?

Obviously we need a new planner.

And listen...

Sometimes the system IS bad.

But ADHD brains love a new problem to solve.

Starting gives us novelty.

Possibility.

Decisions.

Creativity.

Then eventually comes the part nobody puts on the sexy Canva graphic:

Maintenance.

Send the email again.

Follow up again.

Sell the same offer again.

Check the numbers again.

Do the boring thing again.

And sometimes we interpret the loss of novelty as proof that the strategy isn't working.

So here's the question I'm asking myself more often:

Is this actually broken... or am I bored?

Because I have absolutely burned down things that probably just needed another month.

I unpacked this on Episode 221 of The ADHD CEO Podcast this week.

👇 What's something you've replaced in your business that, looking back, probably wasn't actually broken?

09/10/2026

I used to turn one bad ADHD day into an entire bad week.

Monday: Great.

Tuesday: Productive.

Wednesday: Life happens.

I miss half the things I planned.

Then the spiral starts.

“I’m behind.”

“I screwed up my schedule.”

“I need to get caught up.”

“I'll start fresh Monday.”

Except by Monday?

I wasn't just restarting the work.

I had somehow redesigned the schedule, changed the content plan and decided I needed a new system. 😂

The shift for me was ridiculously simple:

I stopped restarting and started re-entering.

Now the question isn't:

“How do I catch up?”

It's:

“What's the next useful thing?”

That distinction matters.

Because “catch up” asks my already-overwhelmed brain to process EVERYTHING.

“Next useful thing” gives it one target.

I don't need to erase Wednesday.

I just need to know what I'm doing Thursday.

That's one of the biggest things I unpacked in Episode 221 of The ADHD CEO Podcast.

The goal was never perfect consistency.

The goal was learning how to come back faster.

👇 What's something you need to re-enter instead of restart this week?

09/09/2026

Your business needs to work on your 40% days too.

If the entire thing falls apart every time you do...

you don't have a motivation problem.

You have a system that requires too much of you.

That's it.

This is the idea I can't stop thinking about after recording Episode 221 of The ADHD CEO Podcast.

This is why I wrote the darn book. Even with ADHD. 🥹

Not for it to sit on somebody’s shelf.

Not so I could call myself an author.

I wrote FLOW FIRST THINKING for the person who has spent YEARS thinking:

I need more discipline.
I need to get my s**t together.
I need to stop procrastinating.
I need to be more consistent.
I need to try harder.

And maybe…

you were never the problem.

Maybe you’ve been trying to force your brain to work inside systems that were never built for it.

Alisha read the book.

Now she’s taking what she learned into a room full of fundraisers and teaching them about executive function.

THAT gets me.

One person reads it.

Then they teach someone else.

Then somebody in that room realizes for the first time:

“Wait. Maybe my brain isn’t broken. Maybe I need a different way of doing this.”

That’s the work.

And Alisha?

Go do it scared. ❤️

P.S. If you’ve read FLOW FIRST THINKING, I want to know the ONE thing from the book you still think about. Tell me below.
