New technology possesses an undeniable allure, especially for those of us with ADHD. When we find something intriguing, we tend to dive headfirst into it, immersing ourselves and becoming experts in the subject. That is in our nature but it doesn’t always serve us. When you are looking to add new technology or software solutions to your business do you spend hours (that you didn’t intend to) researching and likely not getting done you were supposed to be doing only to:
Not end up changing your software because you just didn't finish your research
Pay for something and then not ever implementing it 
Change your tech but not utilizing it fully
Say goodbye to wasted time and resources, and say hello to unparalleled productivity and effectiveness. In this episode, I will provide you with actionable tips for adopting an intentional approach, transforming your journey from a never-ending rabbit hole to a truly rewarding experience.

Impact of All or Nothing Thinking
For entrepreneurs, all-or-nothing thinking reflects in areas such as time management, task prioritization, and perfectionism. This mindset can lead to a constant battle with scheduling disruptions, forgetting tasks, and dealing with an overload of responsibilities. Moreover, the pursuit of perfection can become a hindrance, either by demanding specific conditions before embarking on a task, or needing tasks to be perfect before presenting them to the world. Amber discusses the impacts of this mindset in the world of business, pinpointing perfectionism as a common stumbling block for entrepreneurs with ADHD. She talks about 'front end' and 'back end' perfectionism that puts unnecessary pressure and hampers progress. She also touches on the effects of this pattern on executive functioning, leading to struggles with time management, task prioritization, and back-to-back commitments.
