The ADHD Dopamine Dilemma
Manage episode 447289211 series 1441452
Why do quick fixes for ADHD, like timers, body doubling, and dopamine hacks, only work for a while?
In this episode of ADHD Support Talk, Lynne Edris explores the dopamine dilemma unique to the ADHD brain and why these short-term strategies often fall short. Lynne explains how dopamine affects our motivation, focus, and follow-through, and why we keep getting pulled back into old habits.
But here’s the good news: there’s a way to move beyond the constant search for motivation. Join Lynne as she shares deeper, lasting strategies that help you take action even when you’re not "feeling it" and finally build the consistency you’ve been looking for.
You'll learn:
- How dopamine differences affect ADHD motivation and productivity;
- Why quick fixes like timers, body doubling, and the dopamine menu are short-lived solutions;
- About the importance of an internal locus of control for lasting success;
- Tips for building habits that don’t rely on external motivation and tactics; and
- Strategies Lynne uses with her clients to break the cycle of procrastination and build easier, consistent follow-through.
