ADHD and procrastination tend to go hand in hand, and on this episode, Ryan Muldoon and Risa Williams discuss the subtle ways procrastination can sneak up on people with ADHD. Self-protection can be a sneaky type of procrastination where we feel like we're protecting ourselves from a particular outcome, whether that's failure or success, and perfectionism is a subtle way we keep ourselves from trying or starting something new.

They discuss:
-How people with ADHD sometimes avoid doing things they actually like doing
-Where people tend to get lost with creative procrastination
-How our inner critic can keep us from starting tasks and projects  
- How having a daily routine helps us from getting too lost in procrastination for too long
