ADHD and Expectations: Clarity, Time Blindness, and Getting Real
15 May 2025
Do you constantly feel behind, overwhelmed, or stuck—even when your to-do list looks "simple"? In this episode of ADHD Support Talk Radio, Tara McGillicuddy and Lynne Edris explore how unclear or unrealistic expectations often create unnecessary paralysis for adults with ADHD. They explain why what looks like procrastination is often the result of poor clarity, time blindness, and tasks that are more complex than they seem. You'll learn how to define what "done" actually means, how to budget your time more effectively, and why recognizing progress—even small steps—can shift everything. If you've ever avoided a phone call for weeks or felt drained by replying to a single email, this episode will help you understand why and what to do about it. 🎯 Topics include: ADHD and time blindness Complex vs. simple tasks How expectations sabotage momentum Time budgeting vs. time estimating Recognizing effort and building confidence Shifting from judgment to clarity 🔗 More resources: https://www.TaraMcGillicuddy.com https://www.CoachingAdvantages.com https://www.ADDclasses.com https://www.ADHDsupporttalk.com
