Today we’re diving into something that doesn’t get talked about enough when it comes to ADHD, performance, and productivity: energy fluctuations.

Everyone has good days and bad days—but with ADHD, low-energy days can completely hijack your executive function.

On those days, task initiation, focus, and follow-through feel nearly impossible.

Instead of falling into the all-or-nothing trap, I’ll show you how to create a Plan B routine—the middle ground between doing it all and doing absolutely nothing.

You’ll learn how I set up my workweek in a way that supports both high-energy and low-energy days.

I’ll also walk through how I reframe my expectations, adjust my dashboard, and practice self-compassion so I can still get the bare minimum done (without spiraling).

This approach has completely changed how I handle “bad brain days,” and it might help you too.

✨ In this video you’ll learn:

Why ADHD and energy dips hit harder than for neurotypicals

How to recognize when you’re in a low-dopamine state

The biggest mistake people make on low-energy days (and what to do instead)

My exact Plan A vs. Plan B setup for productivity

Practical tips to meet yourself where you’re at—without shame

If you’ve ever wondered how to stay afloat when your brain and body say “nope,” this video is for you.
