Diana Lammerts manages both Graves disease and ADHD while running her business. Some days her mind moves faster than her body, while other days are the exact opposite. This is where energy and mindset shifts are essential.
Instead of fighting these energy fluctuations, Her approach is like riding a surfing wave. By accepting temporary low-energy days, it allows her to navigate challenges without feeling defeated.
Systems for Neurodivergent Brains
Building clear operational systems helps maintain momentum with ADHD. Without structured workflows, essential tasks easily slip through the cracks. Diana posts her content daily by maintaining engaging systems during focus sessions rather than forcing rigid calendars. Setting up scalable processes early prevents future organizational breakdowns during business growth.
Morning Routine Protection
Protecting the early morning hours helps secure focus and energy. Diana wakes at five in the morning to meditate before her analytical mind fully turns on. Her morning routine incorporates variety through exercise, reading, and learning. This diverse structure keeps her engaged and prevents self-sabotage before starting work.
Leveraging Reframed Strengths
Reframing ADHD as a unique perspective allows entrepreneurs to lean into inherent strengths. Diana utilizes investigative journalism skills to ask critical questions and spot hidden business flaws.
