Late Not Less Ep. 07 | How to Talk Yourself into the Task — w/ Aaron Smith
Q: What is the root cause of overthinking and how can you intervene?
Overthinking often starts from anxiety and self-doubt; the approach is to identify the root (often anxious anticipation) and intervene with a basic, adaptable plan rather than striving for a perfect one.
Late Not Less Ep. 06 | How ADHD Chaos Led Me Into a Critical Role — w/ Jesse Jerdak
Q: Tell me more about your ADHD diagnosis. When did that happen and when did you start suspecting that you even had ADHD?
Jesse shares that ADHD was something he began suspecting over time, with formal diagnosis at around age 32 after noticing coping patterns and the need for better understanding of his brain, which led to trying therapy and medications. He describes the experience of recognizing how his mind works, the relief of diagnosis, and how it influenced his work and coping strategies.
