    Nov 20 2024

    In this episode of Ctl + Alt + Think: Conversations with Neurodivergent Minds, Amy and Megan dive into the concept of “I just need to” — those tasks we tell ourselves should be simple but often feel impossible to complete. They explore why these “just need to” moments can be deceptive indicators of deeper blocks and discuss strategies like time-blocking, recipe cards, and delegation to navigate them. Tune in to hear relatable stories, including how both hosts have approached their own tricky “just need to” situations and insights on balancing support with self-compassion. This candid conversation sheds light on why it’s not always as simple as “just doing it” and how to navigate our own unique brain wiring to actually get things done.

    Nov 13 2024

From helpful tips like using visual timers to fun deadline hacks, they share strategies for managing (or sometimes dodging) deadlines without losing too much sanity. Amy dives into how energy management can make or break her approach to deadlines, while Megan explores how self-imposed deadlines, turned external for accountability, keep her on track.

It’s a laid-back chat for anyone who’s ever stared down a deadline and wondered, “Is this a motivator or just plain stress?” Tune in for insights, laughs, and a few techniques to help make deadlines work with you, not against you!
