223: Aiming for Success: It is Not Too Late to Redefine Your ADHD Friendly Goals in 2025

As we step into February, many of us may feel deflated as our big plans for 2025 seem to waver. However, this episode offers a beacon of hope with a shift in mindset—from traditional goals to adaptable aims. Borrowing inspiration from Gretchen Rubin, we explore how aiming for a target can bring greater satisfaction, even if the bullseye isn't always hit. Non-binary aims offer flexibility and growth, making them a powerful alternative to rigid goals.
This refreshing approach has been put into practice by embracing the '25 for 25' challenge, populated with manageable tasks that add up over the year. From larger undertakings like painting a room to simple joys like finding the perfect pair of jeans, this process encourages progress without overwhelming demands.
Organize your thoughts using a monthly pending list—an opportunity to brain-dump tasks of all priorities, allowing a natural selection of what to tackle or drop, thereby alleviating mental clutter. Join the free podcast community for accountability and support, to help keep your aims in check.
Don’t let a faltering start discourage you; it’s never too late to reset your ambitions. With aims as your guiding principle, flexibility reigns, and progress becomes attainable!

220: A Little Jolt of Joy - The Gift of Nostalgia

In this episode, we explore the joy and nostalgia of snow days, reminiscing about childhood memories and the excitement of unexpected free days. The episode shares a personal story of growing up in snowy Maryland, highlighting the anticipation and delight of school cancellations due to heavy snow. The host reflects on how snow days can be a nostalgic gift for children, offering them the chance to experience spontaneous joy and freedom.
The discussion moves into a decluttering journey, drawing inspiration from the concept "use it or lose it." The episode encourages listeners to make the most of items they own instead of saving them for a "someday." This practical advice is tied into the nostalgia of snow days, inviting families to pull out unused art supplies and let their children get creative, thus creating new memories with existing materials.
Finally, the episode offers a clever way to handle the overflow of children’s artwork produced on snow days, suggesting that like snow, the art too should "melt away" once the day is over, allowing the nostalgia and joy of these special days to linger, while keeping spaces clutter-free. Listeners are encouraged to savor these moments and continue to choose joy in their daily lives.
