The pressure to be productive with ADHD (Dani Donovan’s story!)

People with ADHD know what it’s like to be called lazy. Is that because they don’t seem “productive”? Who better to talk about this with than the creator of “The Anti-Planner: How to Get Sh*t When You Don’t Feel Like It,” Dani Donovan. Dani shares her ADHD “aha” moments and what drove her to create an activity book designed for procrastinators. Dani and host Laura Key chat about what it means to be productive with ADHD. Dani shares how she would criticize herself intensely so that others wouldn’t. They also talk about analysis paralysis, rejection sensitivity, friendship, and how understanding neurodiversity can change the game.
