🤯 ADHD isn't a superpower and it isn't a weakness.
🖥️ It's an operating system!
🧠 ADHD brains, business, & hacks that work
Masking “works…” the bill just comes due later. 🧠

The explanation survived. The restraint did not.

This video will find you when you need a moment of peace (for all our i-os’ers out there)

Sometimes you need a reset. Sometimes you need a moment of peace. Sometimes the world is just too loud. In those moments come back to this with your headphones and take a moment to rest.

“Why are you so emotional? It’s not a big deal.”

ADHD brain: **respectfully disagrees**

For many ADHDers, emotions hit fast because the alarm system is sensitive and the brakes are slow.

ADHD brain: avoiding therapy at all costs.

Also ADHD brain, after one session: unfortunately, therapy works.

“Mommy, how are potatoes made?” Apparently, in an afternoon of project-avoidance. (We’re only half kidding.. We did start a project together and then come back 4 hours later to find 12 verses of Spud’s songs in our slack channel. That counts towards project completion, right?)

ADHD brain, staring into the chaos: “So… is there a map, or are we just vibe-navigating this?”

Therapy doesn’t “fix” ADHD. It quietly hands you a compass and goes, “Okay. When this happens, that’s why. And here’s a safer route.”

Struggle is an integral part of the motivation cycle, and trying to skip it is part of why people often feel like failures.

This feels like the ADHD Entrepreneurs Mantra…anyone else? #PositivePotatooo

The angels up in the clouds are jealous of this potato’s hair (honestly we are too), but the general consensus upon seeing what our editor cooked up this week was ‘hey now, I feel called out…’

If that’s you, take a second watch.

Choosing counts as progress, right? 🫠

Executive function is a finite resource. I used it all on the menu.

Ever make it half way through the day (or just your morning) and realize you’re exhausted? To the point that even deciding where to sit to eat lunch feels overwhelming?

Here’s why decision fatigue is such a big challenge for the adhd i-os and how to manage it for yourself!

“Have you tried therapy?”

Me, an ADHDer who has heard that 400 times: What is this, sponsored content?

But therapy isn’t just “talk about your feelings.” It’s basically documentation for your ADHD operating system.

You bring in the glitches (forgotten stuff, blowups, burnout, mystery spirals)...

10/10 did NOT need this rubbed in my face! 🤣 #PositivePotatooo

Responsibilities: “We’re serious.”

Reason number 5237 that spies aren’t ADHD… Well, the moment this hit our group chat it kinda turned into seventeen different conversations and one of them ended in a career change. (Don’t worry, she’s doing fine)

Anybody else feel like this was just written about them??

Emotions can feel bigger and hit faster with ADHD—and that’s not a flaw. You’re not alone, and it’s not hopeless.

Tools like therapy can help you gain control of that Ferrari brain and build a life you truly deserve (yes, the good one—not the imposter syndrome version).

Part 1 - My ADHD brain looking at a 3-minute task: “Ah yes. A project for Future Me. She’ll love that.”

It’s not that we don’t care. It’s that the moment we try to start, the brain opens 47 tabs labeled “what if,” “do it perfectly,” and “actually let’s lie down instead.”

-sigh-

Ok, this is HOW many animated ADHD icons that were accidentally created in the 2000s so far?... We’ve lost track.

Either way, Scrat was the epitome of how we felt falling into black holes of research when we were younger and now we’ve finally got a word for it: hyperfocus!
January 4, 2026 at 5:06 PM
End-of-year anything is rough. At this point, you’ve already run the hyperfocus-crash cycle too many times… yeah? Yeah. Let’s try again in January. 🧠😮‍💨✨

ADHD motivation be like:

Day 1: “I have unlocked god-tier focus and will rebuild my entire life by midnight.”

Day 3: staring at one email like it’s a tax audit.

If you struggle to focus, move from ideas to action, or manage everyday ADHD challenges—you’re not alone. Neurofeedback can help train your brain to focus and act more easily.

Can’t afford sessions? There are at-home tools too, and we’ll share more here soon.

Is this ADHD-friendly enough? #PositivePotatoooo
