What if Executive Dysfunction isn't actually real?

Well — it's been a while hasn't it. Annd... I'm starting this season off with a bit of a doozy. Are we all a slave to a disobedient controller'? Or is the idea that our brains are dysfunctional actually causing more harm? I discuss an alternative approaches to addressing the real struggles associated with executive functioning. Based on What if Executive Dysfunction isn't actually real from my Substack.

The Art of Productivity: Moving Beyond a Disciplinarian Approach

In this episode I continue to fight against traditional productivity advice which assumes that people need to be disciplined to be successful... uh. huh. I ask if we approach productivity from a point of being in service to oneself, the idea of "disciplining yourself" doesn't make 100% sense 🤔 I also poke at the idea of "perfect productivity" which obviously doesn't exist because it really can't be static and is affected by many variables, which cannot be solved by discipline alone!

Procrastination is a Message!

Procrastination is often seen as this terrible thing that needs fixing... but what if it isn't...

The Role of AI in Business

AI has had a lot of hate recently, but honestly... I think it does have a space to play, it'll never replace "human to human interaction" - but I think it can make things just that little bit easier for many of us!
