How to overcome text paralysis.

For the longest time, one of the biggest challenges I faced in my business was processing written words.

When you’re building a business, so much of the work involves reading and writing—emails, content, documents.

I’d often find myself sitting in front of the computer, staring at the screen, frustrated, and overwhelmed.

But I knew I had to do this stuff to get sh*t done. To get the ball rollin’.

But today was different.

Instead of forcing myself to sit and type, I made a small shift

I started using ChatGPT to talk through my ideas verbally 🗣️ 

As I’m writing this, I’m actually walking around my house, speaking and processing my thoughts out loud, and putting together some fantastic content for the week!

Its like having a person who understands your intentions spit balling ideas right back at you.

This shift to verbal processing has been a game-changer for me.

But here’s the thing…

Those of us with ADHD can sometimes get obsessed with systems and tools as a form of distraction.

It’s easy to complicate things by chasing new ways to make life easier, when in reality, we just end up overwhelmed again.

What I’ve learned—and what I help my clients with—is finding that balance between when a tool is truly needed and when we’re just adding complexity.

If you struggle with getting stuck or overwhelmed, don’t force yourself into systems that don’t work.

Instead, find tools that:

→ Align with your strengths

→ Work with your ADHD brain, not against it

→ And most importantly, are simple

Try it for yourself: Open up GPT on your phone and start speaking. Tell it what you want to achieve and work through it together until you have something close to a final result.
