Episode Description
Do you ever stare at a simple task like “make a doctor’s appointment” and somehow end up reorganizing your sock drawer, scrolling social media, and questioning all your life choices instead?
You’re not alone.
In this episode of Overstimulated and Over It, Blair Pfeiffer tackles one of the most frustrating challenges for women with ADHD in perimenopause: getting started.
Because the problem usually isn’t that you’re lazy, unmotivated, or don’t care. More often, the task is too vague, too big, too overwhelming, or packed with invisible steps your brain can’t easily untangle.
Blair breaks down why task initiation can feel so difficult, especially when ADHD meets brain fog, sleep disruption, hormone fluctuations, and executive dysfunction. She shares practical strategies for turning overwhelming projects into manageable actions, reducing the mental friction that keeps you stuck, and creating momentum one tiny step at a time.
You’ll also learn about tools designed for neurodivergent brains, including Goblin Tools, and why the secret to getting things done often has nothing to do with motivation and everything to do with making the first step smaller.
