Shownotes

You know what needs doing. You have the ideas. So why is actually finishing the thing so hard?
Jason Chatfield has written and drawn the syndicated comic strip Ginger Meggs for sixteen years, writes for The New Yorker, and built a career across cartooning, comedy, and writing. But he learned he cannot rely on his brain to generate ideas and execute them at the same time.
Instead, Jason built physical systems that separate thinking from doing: external deadlines, index cards, a wall calendar, batching, and pairing difficult tasks with things he actually enjoys.
In this episode, Jason breaks down the practical systems he uses to turn ideas into finished work without relying on willpower.
What We Cover:
• Why Jason stopped planning and executing in the same block
• The index card system that makes finished work visible
• How external deadlines give his ADHD brain structure
• Why his wall calendar beats another productivity app
• How he pairs difficult tasks with things he enjoys
• The first-thing, last-thing routine that separates planning from doing
• Why it took three ADHD diagnoses before he believed it
