The Productivity Paradox

Explicit

Ever find yourself going full project manager for 48 hours, colour-coding your entire life, labelling folders, making fresh to-do lists, and convincing yourself this planner will finally fix everything... only to burn out two days later?

Yeah. Same.

Welcome to what I’m calling The Productivity Paradox, that messy overlap where ADHD’s love of novelty meets anxiety’s need for control. It’s the perfect recipe for chaos, burnout, and a lot of half-finished “new systems.”

Because when anxiety yells “you’re not doing enough!”, ADHD goes “cool, let’s fix it!”, cue the spreadsheets, templates, colour palettes, and eventual existential crisis.

✨ Spoiler: You don’t need another planner, you just need a softer approach.
