Managing Missed Deadlines with ADHD

The Neurodivergent Nurse

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s all too familiar—missing deadlines. If you’ve ever found yourself scrambling at the last minute or completely lost track of time, you’re not alone. We’ll talk about why missing deadlines happens more often for those with ADHD, the impact of time blindness and executive dysfunction, and how perfectionism plays a sneaky role. But don’t worry—it’s not all doom and gloom! I’ll walk you through ways to bounce back from those missed deadlines with grace (and maybe even a little humor).

Plus, if you're the partner of someone with ADHD, stick around because there’s a special section just for you! We’ll chat about how you can support your loved one through those challenging moments, with practical tips and a whole lot of empathy.

So, whether you're currently staring down a deadline or you’ve been there too many times to count, this episode has something for you. Grab your coffee (or your to-do list), and let’s get into it… or, you know, eventually!
