Labour Day is the perfect day to be thinking about something we all need more of in our work day - time between tasks.

I work with folks who hold an expectation that they 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 be able to just sit down and hammer out high quality work consistently and seamlessly.

They can't. Neither can I.

Can you?

If you slow down just a bit, you realize that there's a gap between tasks.

We need this gap! It's there for our brains to shift gears.

Here's the invitation....The next time you find yourself rushing, STOP. Just for 30 seconds.

Breathe.

Ask yourself:

"If I'm having trouble starting this next task, what did I not finish that's still bouncing around in my head?"

Use the pause to put the last task to bed. Close the drawer mindfully. It's done.

Breathe.

Now you can move on💜

When you believe that something larger is supporting you, what kinds of choices do you make?

Do you return to the present moment?

Into possibility?💜

Self-regard is recognizing when you’re overwhelmed and choosing to slow down.

Rather than chase the overwhelm away, you decide to breathe with it.

You remember that this belongs too. It’s just the weather system of the moment.

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐦.

You are the one that watches, experiences, and navigates from a higher place. From all of who you are. From your capacity to choose.

To BE💜

If you’re a lawyer with ADHD, constant interruptions will cause you to feel more reactive and less in charge of your thinking time. You’ll find yourself saying ‘yes’ and struggling to refocus and complete your work – during your work day.

I have a message for HR professionals.

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐭.

Let me help you understand ADHD so you can work with your executive to find a solution for everyone involved.

✅ADHD is neurological, not intellectual.
✅ADHD is about managing time, not about depth of service or commitment.
✅ADHD is manageable, not hopeless.

When you misunderstand these facts, you run the risk of causing harm – not only to the executive in front of you, but to the organization at large.

Collaborate with your executive.

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞.

If they don’t, find someone who can identify strategies that are a win-win.

They do exist.

Everyone benefits💜💪🎉

This lawyer learned how to feel more in charge of herself.

𝐌𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠.

How people think. How they learn. How they construct meaning.

Invariably, the attention my clients pay to the way they protect their thinking time determines how well they thrive as leaders.

𝐈𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲’𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 - 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲.

When you assume that your thinking powers will ‘be there’ when you need them to be, you run out of time and creativity.

The ripple effect is:

👉Working late into the night
👉Fatigue
👉Higher stress
👉A tendency to say ‘yes’ when you want to say ‘no’
👉Doing it yourself because no one else can do it as well you do

By contrast, when you prioritize your time to think, you show up clear-headed and focused.

✔️You make better decisions.
✔️You have more capacity to listen, notice patterns, ask relevant questions, and see possibilities that aren't immediately obvious.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞
1. Broadcast your availability
2. Think ahead about what actually constitutes an emergency
3. Have a script ready for when you want to say 'no'
4. Create a transition routine

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞
1. Watch your assumptions – the ones that get in your way - they determine your actions.
2. Slow down - be deliberate
3. Tolerate the transition to deeper thinking time
4. Accept the messy – creativity can feel all over the place

When you courageously choose to say ‘no’ in order to say ‘yes’, you create a culture of deliberate, thoughtful choices.

You model how to resist the pull of reactivity and instead create the conditions for deeper work – for everyone.
