Why ADHD Brains Overbuild Before Starting

Presented by Understood.org
You spend weeks building something before anyone ever sees it.
Not because it needs to be that big. Because once you start, it keeps expanding until it feels impossible to finish.
This is where minimum viable product actually matters. Not as a business concept, but as a way to stop overbuilding everything and start testing things earlier.
ADHD makes it easy to over-scope, get pulled into the wrong details, and delay real feedback. So instead of finding out what works, you stay stuck refining something in isolation.
This episode breaks down why that happens and how minimum viable thinking helps you start smaller, move faster, and avoid getting trapped in the build phase.
On Friday, we’ll show you how to apply this in real situations so you can actually ship things without burning out.
