(Unless you count the daily ritual of forgetting what you walked into the room for. In that case — we’re all nailing it. 👏)
\n
But what if there were a few simple, ADHD-friendly rituals that actually helped you stay focused, get stuff done, and not feel like a frazzled mess by 3pm?
\n
That’s exactly what this week’s podcast episode is all about.
I sat down with ADHD productivity coach and ADD Crusher™ creator Alan P. Brown, and he dropped some serious wisdom — specifically, the 3 rituals he uses daily to:
\n
✅ Start the day with intention (not email doom-scroll) ✅ Get into work mode without the 45-minute “prep spiral” ✅ Take breaks that actually restore energy (instead of draining it)
\n
They’re short. They’re powerful. And they won’t require you to become a Zen monk or wake up at 4 am.

Take Control of Your Day: 3 ADHD Rituals We All Need — with Alan P. Brown
Published 3 months ago • 1 min read
Most of us with ADHD don’t exactly thrive on rigid routines. (Unless you count the daily ritual of forgetting what you walked into the room for. In that case — we’re all nailing it. 👏)
But what if there were a few simple, ADHD-friendly rituals that actually helped you stay focused, get stuff done, and not feel like a frazzled mess by 3pm?
That’s exactly what this week’s podcast episode is all about.
I sat down with ADHD productivity coach and ADD Crusher™ creator Alan P. Brown, and he dropped some serious wisdom — specifically, the 3 rituals he uses daily to:
✅ Start the day with intention (not email doom-scroll) ✅ Get into work mode without the 45-minute “prep spiral” ✅ Take breaks that actually restore energy (instead of draining it)
They’re short. They’re powerful. And they won’t require you to become a Zen monk or wake up at 4 am.
