Running a service-based business with ADHD can feel like a rollercoaster (said by a fellow ADHD entrepreneur who has been there). Between getting distracted by new ideas and managing the day-to-day grind, figuring out how to bring in (and keep) clients can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Or are we setting ourselves up for failure by setting the expectation that we need to have a rigid routine? I think the answer is somewhere in the middle. I can’t think of a catchy name for it right now, so for now, let’s call it routine-ish! 😆 Having a rough outline of a routine but allowing ourselves flexibility is where I find the sweet spot. So how can you find yours?
