  • I Found the Antidote to ADHD Perfectionism (Not Where You'd Expect)
    Oct 25 2024

    Send us a text

    👉 Book: The Gap + The Gain

    As someone with ADHD, I was blown away by this non-ADHD book that perfectly addresses our struggles with perfectionism, fear of starting, and rejection sensitivity. In this video, I break down "The Gap and the Gain" by Ben Hardy and Dan Sullivan, explaining why it should be required reading for anyone with ADHD who battles with measuring up to impossible standards.
    Learn how to shift from focusing on what you haven't accomplished (the gap) to appreciating how far you've come (the gain). I share my personal success metrics and explain how this mindset shift can help ADHDers overcome perfectionism and finally start taking action. If you're tired of feeling like you're never doing enough, this perspective could be game-changing for your ADHD journey.
