ADHD for consultants
ADHD consultants frozen between a blank strategy deck and ten unread client briefs..
What's actually hard
- •Staring at an empty pitch deck while the executive deadline ticks down in two hours
- •Drowning in context-switching across four different client accounts and half-finished scope documents
- •Paralysed by the pressure to synthesize weeks of raw client interview data into one summary slide
How Spark fits into your day
- Use a 2-minute starter to write the problem statement for your executive summary slide
- Run a 2-minute email sprint to clear the top three urgent client responses waiting in your inbox
- Open a kick-off template to draft the first bullet point of a project scope outline
Break the freeze at your desk

Transition between tasks with a short ritual: close the previous task, take a 2-minute movement break, and name the next first step. The ritual gives the brain a bridge between two different mental states. Without it, the previous task lingers and the next one never starts.
Yes — ADHD dramatically increases inbox anxiety because every unread email is a hidden decision, and ADHD brains process decisions with unusually high cost. A 200-unread inbox becomes 200 open loops, which the ADHD brain can't compress. The fear of what's inside prevents opening at all.
