Living with ADHD as an entrepreneur can be a rollercoaster ride – but with the right tools in your toolbox, it can turn into a power boost for your business. Harness your creativity and impulsivity by structuring your day with a system like the Better Self goal-setting journal, controlling digital distractions with a ‘Focus Mode’ setting on your phone, and tuning out potential interruptions with a lo-fi music playlist.

With these strategies, you can transform your daily progress into an invigorating victory lap, no matter the hurdles ADHD may throw your way.
