Why Using Anxiety To Manage Your ADHD Isn't A Good Idea

Running your business on anxiety feels like productivity. It isn't. It's a system built on urgency, and it burns out fast.
Research suggests that goal-focused interventions can reduce anxiety in adults with ADHD. What they don't appear to do is meaningfully improve executive functioning. Skye and Will break down a Norwegian randomized controlled trial on goal management training, what it found, and why that gap between feeling less anxious and actually getting more done matters for how you run your work.
