    44 - ADHD, Knowing and Doing. Why DON'T we do what we know?
    Mar 18 2026
    You’ve read the books, bought the planners, and know exactly what you should be doing.So why aren’t you doing it? This episode explains why ADHD isn’t a knowledge problem – it’s a translationproblem, and what that means for the support you actually need.THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF…You’ve got a bookshelf full of ADHD books and a graveyard of half-finished journals – and you still can’t make yourself do the things you know you should do.You’ve tried every system and downloaded every app, but nothing sticks consistently.You’re wondering if something is wrong with you, when actually the problem is that the advice isn’t designed for your brain.In this Episode we cover:If you have ADHD, chances are you don’t have a knowledge problem.You probably know exactly what you should be doing – you could write the article, give the TED talk. But knowing what to do and actually doing it are two completely different things, and for ADHD brains, the gap between them is real and neurological.In this episode, we explore why ADHD is not a disorder of knowing what to do – it’s a disorder of doing what you know.The executive function that’s supposed to bridge intention and action works differently in ADHD brains, which is why generic systems and productivity advice so often fail, even when you understand them completely and genuinely want to follow them.How you can change this: stop trying to learn your way out of it. You already know enough. What you need isn’t more information – it’s translation. Taking what you already know and building it into structures that fit your specific brain, your specific life, your specific context. That’s what actually moves the needle.Key TakeawaysThe knowing-doing gap: what it looks like day-to-day and why it’s not a willpower problemThe neuroscience behind it: how executive function is supposed to bridge intention and action – and why it’s unreliable in ADHD brainsWhy learning feels like progress but isn’t the same as doing (and how the self-help industry makes this worse)The translation reframe: why generic advice fails and what individualised support actually looks likeWhat to do next if you’re someone who knows what to do but can’t reliably make yourself do itTimestamps:00:00 – Welcome and cold open [~01:15]The pattern: the knowing-doing gap in daily life [~06:00]The explanation: executive function, ADHD neuroscience, and the learning trap [~14:00]The shift: stop learning, start translating [~19:30]Close and CTA: Lightbulb Studio waitlist [~21:00] – OutroNotable Quotes:“You don’t have a knowledge problem. You have a translation problem.”“ADHD is not a disorder of knowing what to do. It’s a disorder of doing what you know.”“Generic advice tells you what to do. Translation shows you how to do it with your specific brain in your specific life.”Common Questions Answered:Why do I know exactly what I should do but still can’t make myself do it?Is the knowing-doing gap a willpower or motivation problem?Why do productivity systems work for other people but not for me?What’s the difference between getting more information and getting actual support?Links & Resources Mentioned in this Episode:Cortese, S., Kelly, C., Chabernaud, C., Proal, E., Di Martino, A., Milham, M.

  • Build Your Environment Not Your Willpower

    Build Your Environment Not Your Willpower
    Apr 8 2026
    If you have ADHD, stop trying to “try harder”.In this episode, ADHD coach Katherine Sanders explains why environment design beats willpower for ADHD, and how cues, friction and simple if-then plans can make starting and follow-through feel easier without you changing who you are.This Episode is for you if:• You keep setting alarms, making routines, writing lists, and still end up thinking, “What is wrong with me?”• You can know exactly what to do, but your brain does not reliably convert intention into action on demand.• You want practical ADHD-friendly changes you can make to your space and your cues, without relying on motivation or “discipline”.Episode Summary:If you have spent years trying to force yourself to be consistent through willpower, this episode offers a kinder, more accurate lens: the problem is rarely your character.For ADHD brains, the gap between knowing and doing is often about executive function load, decision fatigue, and unreliable internal cueing, especially when stress and tiredness kick in.Katherine unpacks what research suggests about self-control limits, habit cues, and implementation intentions, then turns it into a simple environment-first framework you can use this week. You will learn how to build prompts outside your brain, reduce friction for the actions you want, and increase friction for the actions you regret.This is about intelligent design: building systems that work with the brain you do have.In This Episode:• Why “try harder” advice keeps failing, and why it is not a personal flaw• What research suggests about self-control under load and executive function in ADHD• How habits are driven by stable context cues more than daily motivation• How implementation intentions (if-then planning) reduce in-the-moment decision-making• The Environment-First Setup: cues, visibility, friction, and one tiny plan you can test this week00:00 - Welcome and what this episode is about00:35 - The willpower trap (and the environment-first lens)02:20 - Why “try harder” keeps failing06:00 - Research and explanation: self-control, habits, context, decision fatigue18:30 - Why you have to stop building systems for a brain you do not have22:30 - Practical application: The Environment-First Setup (5 steps)27:10 - Next steps, plus Lightbulb Studio waitlistReferences: Gollwitzer, P.

  • 45 ADHD and Ambiguity - a toxic mix

    45 ADHD and Ambiguity - a toxic mix
    Mar 25 2026
    You can handle a crisis. You can do hard things. So why does "just send the email" feel impossible? In this episode, we name the real culprit, ambiguity, and why it's the hidden barrier behind so much ADHD struggle. Plus practical steps to design around it.THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU IF...You're high-functioning at work but consistently derailed by tasks that "should" be simpleYou've assumed you're lazy or inconsistent, but something never quite adds upYou're exhausted by tasks that don't have a clear starting point, outcome, or structureEPISODE SUMMARYYou can walk into a complex situation, keep your head, and solve things other people find overwhelming. And then you open your laptop to send one email - and your whole body goes heavy. You might have put this down to inconsistency, a character flaw or even a motivation problem.In this episode, we get into what's actually happening when ADHD brains hit unclear or loosely defined tasks.Ambiguity overloads working memory, stalls task initiation, increases emotional load, and makes it harder to access the executive functions we already find unreliable. No wonder the "simple" things feel hardest!You'll leave this episode with a clear understanding of why ambiguous tasks are disproportionately more challenging for ADHD brains, and a set of practical, low-effort steps to reduce that ambiguity before you begin, so you can stop fighting yourself and start redesigning your environment instead.IN THIS EPISODE:Why capable, high-achieving people with ADHD get stuck on tasks that look easy from the outsideWhat ambiguity actually does to your working memory and executive function (and why it's not procrastination)The role of task initiation, delayed reward signals, and the Default Mode Network in the freeze responseHow emotional load and cognitive load amplify each other, and create the shame spiralA practical framework for reducing ambiguity before you begin, including templates, outcome-first thinking, and environmental designCOMMON QUESTIONS ANSWEREDWhy do I freeze on simple tasks but cope fine in a real crisis?Is this procrastination, or is something else going on?What does ambiguity actually do to an ADHD brain?How do I get started on a task when I can't see the path forward?Do I need to try harder, or is there a different approach?RESOURCES & LINKSWork with Katherine:1:1 Coaching: Premium coaching for late-diagnosed adults who are capable, resourced, and done waiting for motivation to arrive. → 1:1 CoachingLightbulb Studio: Guided support putting research into practice.

  • ADHD and Uncertainty: Transform Fear into Possibility

    ADHD and Uncertainty: Transform Fear into Possibility
    Nov 25 2024
    Why do we procrastinate so often? Understand the role of uncertainty in procrastination and the impact it has on people with ADHD, especially those diagnosed later in life. We explore why we often hold onto the familiar, even when it doesn't serve us, and how building tolerance for uncertainty can unlock new possibilities.I'll also share practical strategies you can use right away to expand your capacity for uncertainty—one of the most powerful skills you can cultivate for growth.Episode Highlights:The link between uncertainty, avoidance, and procrastination for people with ADHD.Understanding the fast and slow life history strategies and how they shape our approach to uncertainty.Practical steps you can take today to increase your tolerance for uncertainty and lean into new possibilities.Cognitive restructuring as a powerful tool for breaking the procrastination cycle.Common Questions:Why does uncertainty feel so overwhelming for those with ADHD?How does a history of unpredictability impact our ability to plan for the future?What are some simple ways I can expand my tolerance for uncertainty?Notable Quotes:"In the universe of possibility, we set the context and let life unfold." - Ben Zander"Procrastination is an adaptive response to uncertainty. The trick is moving from a fast life strategy into a slower one, where planning for the future becomes possible.""Growth only happens when we take steps forward without knowing the answer."Connect with Katherine here:WebsiteInstagramTiktokFacebookYoutubeLinkedINThreads Connect with Katherine:Find more resources at lightbulbadhd.com.Sirois, F.

  • How ADHD Adults Can Stop Waiting and Take Action with the Power of Self-Permission

    How ADHD Adults Can Stop Waiting and Take Action with the Power of Self-Permission
    Nov 18 2024

    So many ADHD adults are stuck; we're 'waiting for permission' but it never comes. So we stay stuck. If this is you, this episode is here to shift that. In this empowering conversation, we explore the transformative power of self-permission and why it’s often the missing piece for adults with ADHD.

    Learn how to break free from the external validation trap, the importance of autonomy in making meaningful changes, and practical tools you can start using today to reclaim control of your decisions.

    If you’ve ever felt like you’re waiting for a green light that never comes, this episode offers the mindset shifts and strategies to help you move forward.

    Episode Highlights:

    - What self-permission means and why it’s crucial for ADHD adults

    - How external validation traps keep you stuck (and how to break free)

    - The surprising link between self-permission and lasting motivation

    - Practical tools like “permission slips” to help you get started

    - Why rest and failure are essential parts of growth

    Common Questions:

    - What does “self-permission” really mean?

    - How do I stop waiting for external validation?

    - How can I give myself permission to rest or fail?

    - What practical strategies can I use to build self-permission into my life?

    Notable Quotes:

    • Nobody else is coming to give you permission. That green light? It has to come from you.
    • Self-permission is about autonomy, acceptance, and action.
    • Failure isn’t the opposite of success; it’s how we get there.
