Leonie-Ruth Acland in ADHD Task Paralysis

Pain-Free Organization with ADHD

Are you tired of feeling stuck in the chaos of ADHD overwhelm, task paralysis, and executive dysfunction?
Thinking, “Why can’t I just get this done?!?”

For high-functioning ADHD women like us, the mental clutter can feel endless—but it doesn’t have to stay that way.

In this blog, I share my transformative journey working with the ‘Get Sh*t Done Guru,’ Rachael Massey. Together, we tackled my ADHD challenges with compassion, tailored strategies, and a focus on finding what works for my brain. From writing breakthroughs to organizing Google Docs without the guilt, I’ve discovered systems that truly stick.

Ageism doesn’t just target older generations; it cuts both ways, shaping how society views our potential and limiting opportunities across the board. In this article, we unpack how age bias and ageism intersect with lookism and ableism, influencing our daily lives, self-image, and even our career paths. Join us as we challenge these biases and explore ways to create a culture that values every generation.
