A task step is small enough when you can picture doing it in under two minutes without making any other decision first. If a “step” still requires choosing between options, involves more than one physical action, or makes you pause to think, it’s still a task wearing a step’s name tag. Break it down one […]

Freelancers with ADHD lose the external structure a job gives everyone else – no manager, no coworkers, no fixed hours – which makes task initiation and time blindness worse, not better.
