If you have a chair covered in clothes…
A stack of mail you “mean to get to”…
Or a deadline that somehow feels both urgent and impossible…
You’re not lazy. And you’re definitely not alone.
This ADHDKC Adults Group meeting is all about procrastination — what it really is, why ADHD brains do it, and what actually helps.
🧠 What We’ll Cover
Why ADHD brains delay
We’ll break down the real neuroscience behind procrastination, including:
Motivation circuits and dopamine
Task initiation challenges
Emotional avoidance (hello, overwhelm)
Time blindness and urgency wiring
This is practical brain science — no PhD required.
Why “just try harder” doesn’t work
We’ll talk about:
The myth of laziness
Why shame makes procrastination worse
How perfectionism and fear quietly fuel delay
What actually works
You’ll leave with:
ADHD-friendly strategies for starting
Ways to shrink “doom piles”
Tools for managing deadlines without panic mode
Real-world scripts and reframes you can use immediately
👥 Who This Is For
Adults with ADHD (diagnosed or self-identified)
Adults who suspect they may have ADHD
Anyone tired of feeling stuck in delay–shame cycles
No formal presentation. No pressure. Just real conversation, practical tools, and supportive community.
💬 Expect
Brain science explained simply
Relatable stories and discussion
Practical tips you can try this week
A room full of people who get it
Procrastination isn’t a character flaw.
It’s a nervous system pattern.
Let’s understand it — and work with it instead of against it.
We’d love to see you Sunday, April 19th at 2PM in Meeting Room 2.
