In this episode, we're going to explore how

adhd entrepreneurs can turn distraction into their greatest

asset. Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business strategist and money

mindset coach. And welcome to the Weeniecast.

The ironic thing about the topic today is that we have had to deal with

multiple distractions before we started recording, which makes it

so much fun to do a whole episode on on how to deal

with distractions because my producer and I are immediately going to start

getting self conscious. Distraction is one of those symptoms of

ADHD entreneurship that is most perceived by the

outside world. As people with ADHD, we don't really

perceive when we're being distracted. Our attention

is just kind of refocused on this thing and then refocused

again on this other thing and then refocused again

on another thing. It really comes

up as a problem for us when we have a

task that we need to do. And

usually my clients who are starting businesses, they're

breaking away from working a corporate job where there's a lot of

structure. Distraction is one of those things that

becomes a lot worse as a

solopreneur. And it's also complicated because

we actually love distractions. We

love when we can find a creative way to

avoid doing something that we think is boring or that we don't want

to do. The only time I take joy in cleaning

my space is when it helps me avoid doing

something that I really, really don't want to do in my business, like taxes.

And if you're my accountant and you're listening, I know I owe you some stuff

and some paperwork. I apologize. The

other thing about distractions for an ADHD entrepreneur, sometimes the

distraction is actually a massive spark of creativity.

It's a new idea that we have to jump into and

play with for a little bit or else we're going to lose it. So

as we talk through distractions, I'm not saying

that there's a way for you to never be distracted again.

In fact, I'm not even saying that you avoiding all distractions is good

for you. I think being distracted is one of the major

gifts of being an ADHD person. A

good distraction can be the thing that recharges us enough

that we can throw ourselves fully into whatever task we need to

do. A good distraction can be the thing that inspires

a brand new idea for our business, a new offer, a

way to help our clients that we hadn't thought of before. And quite

honestly, being distracted is actually how we are productive.

There are all those reels and TikToks of the

ADHD person who sees a shoe and they're like, oh, that shoe

is out of place. Let me take it to the bedroom. They get to the

bedroom, they're like, oh, this towel is on the floor. I should put this back

in the bathroom. Then they get to the bathroom and the toothpaste has been left

open and it's kind of squirted on the sink. And they're like, oh, I should

clean that up. And then while they're at the sink, they're like, oh, my gosh,

I forgot to take my antidepressant today. I have to take my medication. And they

open the thing like, wow, there's a lot of old antibiotics here. I

should be disposing of them, and so on and so

forth. We don't do things in a linear way. We don't do things

in a container. We do things randomly

in a way that makes sense to us. But the point is that

things generally do get done. The things that need to happen get done

just kind of in a weird order. So if you're someone who really

struggles with distraction, I'm going to give you some tactics,

some real simple, doable tactics that you can

use to manage distractions better.

And I invite you to stop vilifying distractions.

They're not evil. They're not bad. They just are. And

when you learn to use them in a way that works for you, life gets

a lot easier.

I've broken down distractions into four categories. The

first one is other people. The second one is

dependence. The third is your space,

and the fourth is internal you.

I'm going to go through them. I'm going to be talking about the different things

that can happen and what's really helpful, especially for those of you who are in

the beginning stages of starting your business or who have

just taken your business full time, especially when we're talking about

your space and managing other people.

One of the hardest things when I started my business and I went full

time was that I didn't have anything on my

calendar. I didn't have an office that I had to go to

00 a.m. To 03:00 p.m. I worked really early hours

when I lived in San Francisco, where my manager would notice if

I wasn't there. I just kind of had quote unquote free time.

And it wasn't actually free time, it was work time. But

because it didn't have the structure that I was used

to, I would get invitations from friends to go to lunch. And

another friend might ask, hey, I'm going to go work out. You want to come

work out with me? There's a yoga class we go to. Family would ask me

for favors knowing that I didn't have anything planned. And

I would say yes because I'm an extrovert and I like

spending time with my friends and I like doing favors for my family. And

what I realized I was actually doing to myself is I was causing myself

a great deal of anxiety because as I was out to lunch with my friend,

and as I was going to yoga with another friend, and as I was helping

my family member with something around their house, I knew in the back of my

mind that I wasn't doing the work. I wasn't doing the foundational work to

get my business up and running full time. And I found myself

actually resenting my loved ones because how dare they

ask me to do this stuff? They know that I have a job.

But I realized that they actually didn't know that I had a job. As far

as they could see, I just quit my job and I was unemployed. And

sure, they thought I was, like, starting a coaching business, but who knows what that

means as a new business owner, as someone who has

to really buckle down and get those

beginning clients. Figure out your marketing, figure out how to do

your sales funnel. Figure out a whole bunch of other stuff. From

the outside, it looks like you're not doing anything. It

looks like you're just hanging out, playing on your computer all day.

And so the people around you are going to see that and think, oh, cool,

they're free. Let's invite them to do fun stuff. And it's

hard to say no because we all love fun stuff. I'm a

big fan of fun stuff, personally, and I bet you are, too.

And it's hard to say no to something when you don't have an

appointment scheduled, when you don't have a client call or a sales call or something

on your calendar, but something that you're going to have to get really good

at is saying, no, I can't do that. I'm working

on my business right now. No. My work day starts at 09:00 a.m.

And ends at 04:00 p.m. I'd love to hang out with you. Can we go

to a yoga class this evening when your family asks you

for a favor? Absolutely. I'd love to help you. Can I come over this

weekend and help you today? I'm actually working. You have

to be the one who trains everyone around you that you

are working on your business. They won't be able to see it otherwise

because for them, you working looks like you going out of the

house and going to the office. It doesn't look like you sitting on your couch

in your pajama pants with a blouse on, with your computer in your

lap. Honestly, that just looks like you've kind of lost it connected to

this. Your phone notifications. You are in charge of how

many notifications you get. You're in charge of what text

messages can come through from who, when you get notified

of them, what social media notifications you get throughout the day.

As someone who's easily distracted, you have to

set the boundaries with your technology. If

you don't, then you're just going to have this constant like

ping. Someone posted a new Instagram ping, someone

did a new TikTok. Someone texted you, oh, it's your mom. Oh, she

wants to ask if you want to help her with something. It's never

ending. There are so many settings on

different phone types for you to manage this. I'm not even going to walk you

through it. You can figure this out, and I've already kind of touched upon this.

But you do need to schedule time with your loved ones.

If they think that you have all this free time all of a sudden and

you're not wanting to spend time with them during that time, they're going to start

feeling really rejected. And especially if you have

ADHD, you probably have a lot of friends with ADHD and you probably have family

members with ADHD, which means you have a whole group of people that

have rejection, sensitivity, dysphoria. So you saying no, that you would

rather sit under your computer doing what they perceive as nothing

rather than hang out with them is going to be really bruising to their

ego and their feelings. So you do need to

prioritize scheduling time to spend with them.

This will also help you decompress on a regular

basis because as a new business owner, you're going to feel this

immense pressure to spend every waking moment

working on your business. Until you're making enough money that you have your normal

salary back, you cannot spend every waking moment doing that.

You're going to burn yourself out. So schedule off time with your loved

ones. If you live with your partner and you both work

from home or you both have a reason to be home, maybe your partner is

a full time parent. You need to design with them that sometimes

during your workday you're going to be on YouTube watching

puppies. Learn how to do the stairs for the first time. You're going to be

on Facebook, scrolling, kind know, stalking friends from high school.

You're going to be doing things on your computer that looks like

you are slacking off. But you and I both know in those

moments, you're not slacking off. What you're doing is you're actually giving

yourself a little dopamine boost so that you'll have enough dopamine to

get to the next task. And we need to find ways to communicate

to our partners that if they come up behind us and make a

comment, that can come across as a judgment like, oh, I thought you were

working today. Looks like you're having fun. It can completely take the wind out of

your sails. And you get to explain to them that things

like that are actually productivity boosters for us. So that

is how we are dealing with other adults in the world. Now,

technically, adults and dependents are other people, but like,

dependents have different requirements because

you can't have the same expectations for a four year old to

respect your time and your boundaries as you can your partner. And

if you have a four year old who knows how to respect boundaries, then good

on you. I'm not speaking to you.

So when I talk about dependence, I'm talking about children and pets,

any kind of living being that depends on you, that's going to

need care throughout the day.

Now, the key here is you have to set them up for

success first. All right. I don't have children, so I'm going to use my

dog as an example here. If I'm expecting to get

a good 4 hours of work done in a morning or in an

afternoon, I need to make sure that she's set up for success, which

means I have to get her outside and exercised. I have to go

and run her. I have to take her on a long walk because if

I don't, she's going to have this neurotic energy that just comes up and

she's going to constantly want to play with me while I'm trying to get work

done. And I love my dog. She is the cutest thing in the world and

I love playing with her, but I have to

pay the bills. I have to be able to afford all the fancy treats that

I buy her. I have to keep her in a very good lifestyle. I

can't do that if she is distracting me from my,

you know, I told you I'm not a know. Your

kids may need similar care to Luna. They may just need exercise.

They may need to get some energy out so that they can focus on other

things while you're getting work done. Depending on their age,

you may also need to outsource the childcare. I

know this can be expensive. Often for my clients who are

parents, there's a stage in their business where the amount of money that they're

bringing in is only covering their childcare costs. That's a

really difficult thing to deal with emotionally. As someone who is

ambitious and also cares about your kids but wants to find that

balance, one of the reasons why it helps to work with a strategist who can

help you figure out how you can make the most amount of money in the

least amount of time. And this is often what I do with my clients who

are stay at home moms or parents who share the responsibility of

taking care of the kids. If you have the right strategy,

sure, you're going to go through a phase where your money, all the money you're

making from your business is going to childcare, but it won't last.

You'll start making more money if you stick to the

strategy, if you keep up the action plan. So

setting your dependence up for success is

the only way to set yourself up for success. The other

element here is you have to set realistic expectations for

yourself. If you have an eight month old and

they've been consistently napping for an hour and a half every single day,

guess what? That's not going to happen forever. You have to set

realistic expectations. You're probably not going to want to schedule calls in

that time because there's going to be a day where that eight month old is

like, I don't want to take a nap or where they're going to nap for

ten minutes and then wake up and be really upset. In setting realistic

expectations for myself, I know I can't sit down and do 8 hours

of work because I'm going to have to take my dog outside to pee at

some point. I'm going to have to feed her. I'm going to have to play

with her. I'm her one roommate. I have to keep it interesting for

her. When you set realistic expectations for yourself, you prevent yourself

from going crazy. And you also help everyone who has to

work with you because you're not constantly having to change the

game.

The third category of distractions is your

space. And this is something that is massively different

for everyone. Some people, to keep

themselves from being distracted, need absolute silence.

They cannot have a single sound in their space. For

others, absolute silence is deafening.

You need ambient sound. You might

need music going on in the background. You might need to go and rent

a space in a co working office so you can have background chatter. Hell,

you might need to go into like a busy cafe and do work

there. You have to figure out what kind of space is

most conducive to you getting work done and what kind of work

you get done in that space. For me, I don't even drink, but I

find it's really helpful when I have to put together a PowerPoint

presentation. Or hell, if I'm plotting out a podcast

episode to go to my local pub and grab

dinner and have my laptop open and just start working.

The key for me is it needs to be loud enough that I can't discern

any particular conversation around me. If I can hear what the people next to me

are talking about, then I'm going to get completely sucked into eavesdropping on

them. I'm very nosy. I'm going to want to know all the details. I'm

not going to get any work done, but obviously, if I'm on a call, if

I'm on Zoom, I need to have a very specific space set up for myself

so that I can do that successfully. And there's no right answer

here. It's whatever works best for you, whatever works best for your

business. So, for instance, if you're a copywriter and the

work that you do that's paid doesn't require you to be on a

Zoom call or on a phone call with someone, you get to work wherever you

want. Whatever makes you most able to

concentrate is going to be the best place. Other things that

as ADHD ers, we have to kind of deconstruct for

ourselves is this idea of professionalism

in a workspace. A couple of years ago, I went through this

certification called trauma of money. And one of the things that they

trained us on very early on is that wherever

you feel comfortable and safe is going to be the best place

for you to take the class. It's going to be the best place for you

to do work. Sometimes that means from bed, sometimes that

means in your living room. Sometimes working on the floor feels the

best. I give you permission to work wherever

the feels best for you. I had a friend

in San Francisco, and to prove the point that it really doesn't matter, I

had this friend in San Francisco. He was the chief people officer at a tech

startup. Okay? The CEO at this company

was real difficult to manage.

They had brought in so many different executive coaches to try to

work with this guy, and he was pretty uncoachable. And finally,

as a last resort, they actually hired a woman who works with

movie stars out of LA. She was exorbitantly

expensive, but she had this kind of smack you in the

face approach that was no bullshit. And he

was laughing because she charges so much money to work

with her. And the very first call that he had with her, with the

group explaining who she was going to be working with, she was sitting

on her bed in Malibu. She was sitting on her bed cross

legged, and she's laughing and she's talking and she's

swearing and she's talking about what she's going to do with the CEO. And

she was massively effective. And the key here

is that she normalized it. She chose that.

That is the best place for her to take a work call and went

with it. You are the boss of your own business, wherever

you want to work, your clients are just going to have to get

used to that. And any client who's not willing to work with you because you're

working someplace that's comfortable for you, they're not the right client for you. So

comfort rather than professional, we get to redefine

what our standard for professionalism is. For me, it's that

you're good at what you do and you deliver it. It's

pretty basic. I always laugh when someone books a generate

income strategy call with me and they get on and we're talking about their business

and they say something like, shit. They're like, oh my God, I swore. And it's

like, have you listened to anything that I talk about?

So yes, if you ever book a call with me, you are allowed to swear.

I invite it. The last little bit about your space is

mess. Different folks have different

resilience to levels of mess. I'm pretty resilient.

I'm a very messy person. I'm a clean person, but I'm a messy

person. I just do not notice the piles of paper

that are gathering around my desk. I don't notice the random

doom piles of stuff until all of a sudden it becomes too

much. If you're someone who gets distracted

by mess when you start working and you're not

taking care of that first, what you're actually doing is making everything that you're doing

a layered task. Because for you to get to work, you have to

clean your desk. For you to clean your desk, you might have to do something

else, you might have to vacuum, you might have to do this, you might have

to do that. If mess is one of the things that distracts you

the most. And it's always something that gets added into your

day because you have to deal with it before you can get to work. Start

prioritizing that first. Make it a must do in your business

dealing with a mess, because it's going to have to get dealt with either way.

If you're going to get into whatever task you've assigned yourself for the day,

it's better to plan around it and build a buffer of time

than to let it kind of derail your whole day.

And lastly, my favorite category for

distractions is you. In

my intake form for my generate income strategy calls, I have this question

and it's like, what are the top three things that typically get in the way

of you reaching your goals? The number one answer to this

question is me, myself and I. I cackle every time I

see this because it's so true. We are

our biggest obstacle. It's our mindset. It's our

shiny object syndrome. It's our ability to shift gears so

fast and completely lose the plot. So when we talk about the

distractions that come from us, our internal selves, there

are a few different things that happen. So there is what goes on in our

mind and what goes on in our body. One of the best things about being

an ADHD entrepreneur is how creative we are. And also it's one

of the most distracting things because ideas strike us at

any moment, in any place. Along with all the ideas

that we have as ADHD entrepreneurs, we also have this

underlying fear that this is the last idea we're ever going

to have. This weird belief, like there's no proof that it's true

because we're coming up with ideas constantly, but we tend to

have an idea and think, oh my God, I need to grab onto it right

now and run with it because if I don't, then I'm going to lose it.

I invite you to look around your house right now as you're listening to this.

If you're home and look at all the piles of paper that you don't want

to throw away because there's good ideas in it, there's good information that might

have a good idea in it. We are

idea hoarders. And sure,

sometimes we'll write an idea down and go back to it,

but oftentimes we don't. But I want to just call attention to the fact

that you have never run out of ideas. You are an

idea generator. There's a reason why there are so

many people with ADHD who do things that are so innovative,

because we are far more creative than neurotypicals,

but you have to learn how to manage it so that you can get done

in your business. And this is why one of the things that I recommend to

all of my clients who have this issue of oh my God, I got this

great idea, I'm going to run with that instead of all the things that I

said I was going to do today, is to create some kind of idea

bank. I also like to call this a back burner book.

So if you're cooking multiple things, you can't actively cook all of them.

You can focus on one or two things at the most at a time.

So sometimes you just have to put stuff on the back burner to keep it

warm before you get to it. Now, a back burner book or

an idea bank can look a lot of different ways. It can be a journal.

It could be the notes app on your phone. Hell, you could have an

email chain to yourself from yourself where you're just sending

back and forth different ideas. And if

you're more advanced than I am, and you've figured out how to use project

management tools like notion or ClickUp, you can absolutely create a

board in there to manage all of your ideas. I always tell myself I'm

going to learn those things, but every time I try, it's just so confusing.

I know what I want it to do, but I don't speak the language to

figure out how to make it do what I want it to do. And then

I try, and then I get frustrated, and then I get mad, and then I

get discouraged, and then I have to go for a walk and recover. It's

a really ugly process. I just get bored and I

tune out. So they explain it to me and it's like it goes in one

ear and out the other. So I apologize to those of you who've tried in

the past. I just don't think I'm destined for project

management tools anyway. So on the one side, we have ideas that are

distracting to us. On the other side, we have complete

and utter boredom. Sometimes the boredom sets

in for a task and you just can't continue with

it. There are two ways to really deal with boredom.

Can be that you need more stimulation. It could be that you need

to go and give yourself like a quick hit of dopamine. So maybe

you need to go and do a really simple task like go and comment on

five posts on LinkedIn to get your engagement up. It could also mean

respond to an easy email, or go take your dog for a ten minute

walk it could be something that you can put on your to do list and

very easily just cross off and get that satisfaction.

Boredom can also mean that you are

overstimulated, meaning that you're trying to

do too much in too little time. You've taken

in too much information, and you actually need to go sit

in silence without your phone, without a book, without a

journal, and just kind of stare off into space and disassociate for a

while. I've learned this about myself, and I have to tell you,

I'm not perfect at figuring out which one I need most.

Oftentimes when I am feeling the boredom, that means I'm

overstimulated. I get kicked into executive dysfunction.

So it's hard for me to even get that get up and go to go

and do other things. I start doing them, and I'm like, I just don't have

the juice for it. And so I kind of back off. That's when I realize

I have to just kind of put a chair in the center of the room

away from everything and just sit there for a bit until I feel

rested. With the understimulated boredom, it's

usually that I'm just really antsy to get to the next thing, and it's easy

for me to get to the next thing. I just kind of, like, bounce off

the boring task into the exciting task and do that for you. This is

going to be different. The signs are going to be different. So pay attention

to when you're feeling bored. Are you getting kicked into

executive dysfunction and you have a hard time getting into another task, or are

you feeling like a ton of pent up energy that you need to get out

in some way and deal with it appropriately? The other

mental thing that can get in the way, that can distract us from the work

that we need to do is stress about other stuff. This is one of the

reasons why in the Monday sprint that I do three Mondays a month for all

of my clients, I have them do a complete brain

dump of everything that they're tracking in their minds

that they have to get to that week. Anything that's stressing them out goes on

that list. You want to fix world hunger? Great, it goes on the list.

Anything that you feel like you need to be stressed out about that could

be turned into a to do list item. Put it on the list even if

you never get to it. Something that we don't talk about

enough is the mental load that we carry. When you're

an employee, you go to work, you have a certain set

of responsibilities. You do those things and then you go home. You're not having

to figure out what the responsibilities are and what the

responsibilities of the other departments are and what the actions are of those other

departments. And then you're not responsible to do the actions

of the responsibilities of the other departments as well. As a business

owner, you have to be all the people, you have to be

all the strategists, and you have to be the

prioritizer. Okay? That's fucking

exhausting. It's a lot more

mental work than you are used to. But because we've been trained on

a 40 hours week, we expect ourselves to do 40 hours of

action every damn week. It's impossible because you're having

to do about 20 hours of mental work. Now.

Part of the mental load is keeping track of what all the work

is, getting it down on paper, even if

it doesn't make the cut for your priorities, this week is going to

be a way for you to offload it, to free up some ram in

your brain, for lack of a better term. Because we all know as

ADHD ers how our computers tend to like to

crash when they have too many tabs open. The same happens in

your brain. The last little bits about

distractions that come from you are how you nourish your body and

how you dress your body. If you're not feeding yourself

properly, like this is going to go wrong,

you're going to have a sugar crash, your stomach is going to hurt, you're going

to be so hungry that you're going to start getting hangry and clients are

going to start firing you because they can't handle it. If you're not drinking water,

you're going to start getting really murky in your mind. You're going to start

getting dark and depressed, and things are going to start looking

real bad, real fast. If you're wearing clothes that are distracting.

If you're wearing wool and it's itchy, why are you wearing wool?

Stop it. If you need to go through all your clothes and cut out all

of the tags, go and do it. We talked previously about

you getting to define your version of professionalism that

includes your wardrobe. I don't care what you had to wear to the office

when you worked in corporate. I care about what you want to wear now.

I care about how that facilitates you being able to be in your business

100%. Sometimes it's going to look a little cozy, sometimes it's not

going to look flashy and professional, and that's okay.

So long as you're showing up and doing the work and providing the

services to your clients who paid you for them, your

distractions are never going to go away. New distractions are going to happen

all the time. New world events are going to start distracting

you. New ideas for your business are going to distract you.

The occasional client who needs a little more attention is going to start distracting

you. As a person who's running a business who also has

ADHD, the key here is to not punish

yourself when distractions happen. When

you get pulled off course, to do something

else when you meant to get X, Y and Z done, that's okay.

That's the nature of things. What doesn't help the whole distraction

cycle is when you get distracted and then you start punishing yourself for the

distraction and then you feel bad like you failed in everything and then

you can't go back to the original task because it's now associated with

failure. It's exhausting, but it happens to us all the time. I know I've

talked about this in relation to New Year's resolutions with going to the gym. If

you say that you're going to go to the gym every single day and then

you miss on day four, day five, you're not going back. You already

failed. Like you're going to go to the gym and that everyone at the gym

is going to boo you because you failed. You didn't show up for day four.

How dare you. This doesn't count. It doesn't matter if you work out

twice as hard on day five. Still doesn't count because you missed day four

failure. I know I say that and it sounds

ludicrous, but we know how it feels. The most powerful thing that you

can do for yourself, for your productivity, for

your business, is to have forgiveness for all the times you

got distracted and gently, kindly with

acceptance. Just bring yourself back so that you can do whatever you need to do.
