Atomic Habits and the ADHD Brain: High-Performance Systems for Busy Minds

Not everything that works has to be “ADHD-approved.” In this episode, we dive into lessons from Atomic Habits and how they can actually work with the ADHD brain, not against it. If big goals overwhelm you but small steps feel manageable, you’re in the right place. Dave breaks down the core principles, such as building systems, making habits obvious, easy, and rewarding, and translates them into actionable strategies for ADHD professionals, founders, and leaders. Whether using habit stacking, visual cues, or simplifying decision-making, you’ll find tools to build rhythm and momentum in work and life. Plus, Dave gives you real-world ADHD-friendly examples and reminds you, it’s okay if you don’t do it perfectly.  What You’ll Learn: Why systems vs. goals for ADHD brains How to make habits stick using visual and environmental cues Tiny wins that build executive function The power of identity-based habits How to make unproductive behaviors harder to do **Do you want to work with Dave one-on-one?
