Shifting from one task to the next might sound simple, but for many of us, especially with ADHD, it can feel like hitting a brick wall. One moment you are deep in focus, the next you are late, frazzled, or stuck in that “oh no” spiral. Autumn in the UK is a seasonal reminder of transitions: colder mornings, darker evenings, and the constant need to adapt. The truth is, smooth transitions are not about hyper-productivity, they are about setting up systems and rituals that work with your brain. From avoiding calendar clutter to building micro-breaks into your day, the key is learning how to shift gears without losing momentum or yourself in the process.

What if you don’t fit neatly into the “introvert” or “extrovert” box? Enter the Otrovert – someone who connects when it feels right but doesn’t feel a constant pull to belong. For ADHD musicians, this blend of independence and freedom can be a double-edged sword: it fuels originality and genre-fluid creativity, but also risks isolation, inconsistency, and momentum dips. From selective collaborations to resisting trends, the Otrovert’s rhythm looks different – and that’s the point. With the right scaffolding, this way of being isn’t a limitation; it’s a unique pathway to music that’s authentic, fresh, and unapologetically yours.

Creativity does not flow in a straight line—it moves through phases. Psychologists call them Preparation, Incubation, Illumination, and Verification. For most people, these stages form a cycle of gathering inspiration, letting ideas simmer, experiencing the “aha!” moment, and then shaping those ideas into reality. But for ADHD brains, the cycle often looks very different: floods of ideas arrive all at once, incubation is fast-tracked or skipped, and the hardest part is usually finishing rather than starting. The good news? Understanding where the sticking points are makes it easier to build tools, habits, and support that help creativity turn into completion.

This week’s blog looks at the tricky link between ADHD and exercise. For many of us, moving our bodies does not come naturally, especially when motivation slips or accountability is missing. I share what I have tried, what has stuck, and why the social layer makes all the difference. It is not about becoming a gym fanatic but about finding small, realistic ways to build movement into daily life so your body and brain can keep working well.

We all have natural rhythms — times when our brains spark with creativity or when our bodies call for rest. Often, these rhythms don’t align neatly with 9–5 routines or family demands, but noticing them can make a difference. By paying attention to when you feel most alive and allowing small pockets of your day to honour that energy, you can work with your rhythms rather than against them.

I’ve never been great at endings. Give me the second part of a trilogy any day—where the stakes are high but the story hasn’t wrapped up. No heartbreak, no closure, just the comfort of being in the middle.

But real life doesn’t let us skip to the last page. Endings are inevitable, and for ADHD brains, they can hit harder than we expect shaking routines, stirring emotions, and leaving us unsure how to sign off. Whether it’s wrapping up a creative project, saying goodbye to a collaboration, or stepping away from something awkward, endings demand more brain energy than we sometimes have to spare.

The good news? We can build small rituals that make them less jarring learning to name the moment, mark it, and find our own version of “done enough.”

If you have ADHD, especially if you were diagnosed later in life, your inner voice may have been shaped by years of criticism from others. Over time, that voice often turns into negative self-talk—subtle jabs, sarcastic thoughts, or harsh judgments that quietly affect your confidence and motivation. This blog explores where that inner critic comes from, how it shows up, and how you can begin to challenge it. With practical tools and a focus on self-compassion, you will learn how to interrupt those patterns and speak to yourself with fairness and care. Because you deserve that.

A practical, compassionate 4-week plan designed for neurodivergent creatives who want to prepare for gigs without last-minute panic. This guide helps you break down tasks, manage energy, and enjoy your performance—without sacrificing your wellbeing or spontaneity.

Ever feel like you got nothing done, even after a full day? For neurodivergent creatives, especially those with ADHD, wins often go unnoticed. This blog explores why that happens and offers simple, powerful ways to track your progress, shift your inner narrative, and start seeing just how much you are doing.

Ever find yourself avoiding a random bag of tangled cables, an unopened email, or a vague gig brief that’s been sitting in your inbox for days? You are not lazy. You are not disorganised. Your brain is simply doing what it does best when faced with uncertainty, protecting you from the unknown.

For ADHDers and creatives, “unknowns” often sneak in as clutter (physical, digital, or emotional), and they can trigger a powerful freeze or avoidance response. But what if one clear answer, one solid detail, could shift everything?

This blog explores how uncertainty hijacks creative energy, how it shows up in our everyday lives (hello, chair of despair), and what practical, compassionate steps we can take to turn confusion into clarity.

You are not doing it wrong, even if it feels that way. Every performer has their own way of getting ready for a show. This blog explores what really helps you feel ready, from quiet rituals to crew chaos, and why knowing your gig day mode can make all the difference. No pressure, no right way, just a new way to understand what gets you in the zone.

You are not lazy, unmotivated, or broken — even if it feels that way. For neurodivergent music-makers, creative blocks run deep. This blog unpacks the real reasons behind that stuck feeling — from executive dysfunction to perfectionism — and offers a new way to understand (and name) what’s getting in your way.

Feedback is often called a gift — but for neurodivergent creatives, it can feel more like a minefield. In this blog, we explore how to ask for feedback at the right time, how to make it useful (not crushing), and why it’s okay not to take every note on board. Whether you're mixing a track or just starting out, this one's for you.

Time isn’t always a straight line — especially if you’re ADHD. In this post, we unpack time blindness and how it can disrupt creativity, self-trust, and studio sessions. You’ll find practical strategies, mindset shifts, and musician-friendly tools to help you build a rhythm that works for your brain.

If feedback, silence, or a “no” sends you spiralling, you’re not alone. This post explores how RSD impacts neurodivergent creatives — and why it feels so personal when your art is involved. From naming the feeling to using your Jar of Joy, we cover tools to help you stay resilient and keep creating.
