Letting perfect be the enemy of good is one of the primary sources of procrastination. Sometimes we don't even recognize it when it happens, and it is not only perfectionists that are held up by this mistake.
Some of the more common symptoms we see when this type of perfectionism is the real underlying problem are:

* Not finishing tasks
* Not starting projects
* Turning work in late
* Experiencing negative self talk at setbacks
* Accomplishing ANYTHING but what we intended to do

If any of those sound familiar, come join us for a talk about how to identify when this is your true barrier and what can be done to get us unstuck and moving again.
This meeting will start with a presentation on the topic and will include opportunity for group discussion. We will follow with an open question/comment forum.

ADHD Learning: When Perfect is the Enemy of Good

Online event

There has been a very important shift in the understanding of ADHD recently and experts are finally acknowledging how big of a role emotional regulation plays for those of us with ADHD. There is a specific type of ER that has also gotten a lot of press lately, and that is Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. A large portion of people who have ADHD also experience Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria.

This talk will explain what RSD is, what some of the fall out is for those of us who have it and what you can do to work on improving the symptoms. RSD is not a formal diagnosis, but it does describe a suite of shared experiences and it is brain based and worth normalizing and destigmatizing.

This meeting will start with a presentation on the topic and then we will open the floor to discussion with the group where we can talk about our experiences. My hope is that everyone will walk away with a better understanding of their own emotional dysregulation around rejection and a sense of belonging and understanding from the community.

ADHD Learning: Why does it hurt so bad to be criticized? Like really HURT?

I have spent my entire life saying habits are just not my thing. And it's true. I don't even have a morning routine! I even put my makeup on in a different order from day to day. But just the same, habit stacking is how I get things done now. Learn this really helpful way of looking at managing motivation and initiation as someone with ADHD and let's brainstorm some new patterns you can try out.

This is an incredibly helpful tool for building routines and putting some decisions and tasks on autopilot!

This meeting will start with a presentation on the topic and then we will open the floor to discussion with the group where we can talk about our experiences. Ideally everyone will walk away with actionable items and maybe even one new habit they are going to try out.

ADHD Strategies: Habit Stacking

The "Adulting with ADHD" series is designed to catch us up on some skills and strategies we might have missed growing up with ADHD. Tonight's plan is to have a great discussion about cleaning up with some strategies you can start implementing right away to make improvements to your living space that align with your values.

We will start by looking at and troubleshooting common ADHD pitfalls to keeping our space the way we want it. And while I don't believe in tips, tricks or hacks in general, we will talk about how to add some fun, strategy, and novelty to help support us and make it easier to initiate.

This meeting will start with a presentation on the topic and will include opportunity for group discussion. We will follow with an open question/comment forum.
