    I Stopped Making One Planner Do Everything

    Paper planner or digital calendar—which is better for ADHD? For me, the answer is both, but not because I want to duplicate my entire planning system. In this episode of Mindful Chatting with MCS, I’m sharing how using a physical planner alongside digital tools led me to a layered approach to ADHD planning. You’ll learn why different planning tools support different executive-functioning needs, how I use digital calendars for time and anchors, why paper helps me visually process my capacity, and where reminders and daily planning fit into the system. We cover: • ADHD planning systems • Paper vs. digital planners • ADHD time blindness • Executive functioning and planning • Digital calendars for ADHD • Visual planning • ADHD task management • Layered Planning™ If you’ve tried planner after planner and wondered why nothing sticks, this episode may help you stop searching for one perfect tool and start building a system that actually fits your brain. https://linktr.ee/mindfulchatting 👉 Try Brain.fm for focus and calm.

    What Private Practice Owners Need to Know Before Mixing Business & Travel

    Can private practice owners deduct a business retreat or trip? What happens if your spouse or family comes with you? And does calling something a “board meeting” actually make it a business expense? In this episode of Consultation Saturdays, we’re separating social-media tax advice from legitimate business planning. You’ll learn how to think about business purpose, agendas, documentation, business versus personal expenses, family travel, and quarterly business meetings using the BUSINESS Test™. We also discuss why strategic retreats can be valuable for private practice owners—even when the tax deduction isn’t the reason you’re doing them. Topics include: private practice taxes, therapist business expenses, business travel deductions, private practice board meetings, business retreats, tax deductions for therapists, quarterly planning, and private practice management. This episode is educational and is not individualized tax, accounting, or legal advice. https://linktr.ee/mindfulchatting 👉 Try Brain.fm for focus and calm.

    What Sourdough Bread Taught Me About ADHD, Time Blindness & Planning

    Can baking sourdough really improve your ADHD planning? Surprisingly… yes. In this episode, I share how learning to bake sourdough completely changed the way I think about time blindness, executive functioning, and planning.
