3. The Third Space—how rituals can help you find yours

Episode summary:

Meet co-host Martha Barnard-Rae, copywriter and neurodivergent business owner. Owning her own business means Martha has the freedom to hack her ADHD brain to make the best of the dopamine she’s got on offer. Will time blocking be the tool that eliminates distraction and makes Martha a whole new person? (Spoiler alert: probably not). Find out how she manages ADHD shame, toes the line on distraction, and whether giving up her life-long resistance to structure pays off. 


Here’s what went down:

  • How Martha uses Asana for time blocking

  • What a typical day looks like juggling ALL THE THINGS

  • How distraction works in ADHD

  • Executive dysfunction and shame

  • How Martha deals with variation to her schedule

  • The importance of self-compassion

  • How HyperFocus Weeks work best for Martha’s brain (and her clients)

  • Why Martha quit teaching to become a copywriter—and what she loves about it

  • Why Martha would probably have starved to death if not for her partner

  • Find out Martha’s Tweak of the Week
