This is Gold Stars & Doom Piles - the podcast for high-functioning ADHD women.

We talk about executive dysfunction, task initiation, emotional regulation, burnout, perfectionism, all-or-nothing thinking, energy management and the real skills nobody taught us. If you've been diagnosed with ADHD (or you're pretty sure you have it) and you're exhausted from white-knuckling your way through life, you're in the right place.

Jen introduces a strategy she's used herself: blocking out dedicated time during the workday to handle personal and life tasks, instead of fighting guilt about it after hours or letting it pile up.

The idea is simple. ADHD brains lose huge amounts of energy to context switching, so instead of squeezing life admin into the cracks of your day, you plan a window for it ahead of time, right inside your work hours. Jen explains why this actually helps both employees and employers... less guilt, less stress, more focus, better output overall.

In this episode:

What "fuck the patriarchy hours" actually means and how to set them up

Why planning the time in advance is what makes this work, not winging it

How this reduces the ADHD tax of constant context switching

Why this benefits your boss too, not just you
