For many creatives, the struggle to initiate work is all too familiar. Despite their best intentions, they find themselves procrastinating or getting bogged down in details. But what if this struggle wasn’t a personal failing, but rather a symptom of a larger issue? According to ADHD coach Roxana Tascu, the key to unlocking creative potential lies in understanding the brain’s response to novelty and urgency.
Individuals with ADHD often struggle with initiation and focus, not because they lack motivation, but because their brains are wired to respond to novelty and urgency. This can lead to a pattern of intense focus followed by burnout, as they struggle to sustain attention on less stimulating tasks.
Tascu’s approach involves teaching clients to reframe their thoughts and behaviors, focusing on building self-awareness and self-regulation skills. By recognizing their strengths and challenges, individuals with ADHD can develop strategies to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
