    Ep. #3 - Why ADHDers Run Out of Steam Before They Run Out of Day

    Ep. #3 - Why ADHDers Run Out of Steam Before They Run Out of Day This is The ADHD Operating Manual - the podcast for high-functioning women with ADHD. We talk about executive dysfunction, task initiation, emotional regulation, burnout, perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking, energy management and the real skills nobody taught us. If you've been diagnosed with ADHD (or you're pretty sure you have it) and you're exhausted from white-knuckling your way through life, you're in the right place. Today's episode is about time vs. energy - or, why you're so exhausted all the time. You had the whole Saturday. Nothing on the calendar. A list of things you'd been putting off for weeks. By noon you'd done two of them and you were completely done. "I had ALL DAY. What is wrong with me." Nothing is wrong with you. You scheduled based on time available... not energy available. And for high functioning women with ADHD who are already spending more energy than their neurotypical peers just to be baseline functional... that math was never going to work. In this episode we're talking about Skill 11: Measure Energy - Not Time. Why the hours on your calendar are lying to you, what the invisible energy drain of masking actually costs, and how to start planning around your actual capacity instead of your available hours. Because "I had all day" stops being something you say with guilt... when you finally understand what that day actually cost you. 🔥 Ready for more support? 📖 Grab The ADHD Operating Manual guide - $25: https://pensight.com/x/coachjentjohnson/skillsguide Learn about 1:1 coaching: https://pensight.com/x/coachjentjohnson/yousupported 📱 Instagram + TikTok: @coachjentjohnson 🌐 pensight.com/x/coachjentjohnson New episodes weekly.

In this episode I'm breaking down coaching vs. therapy vs. mentoring... what each one actually is, what it isn't, and how to figure out which kind of support your brain actually needs right now.
