Katie McManus advises ADHD business owners to map out two months of work on high-dopamine days, then split tasks into high and low-energy lists. Batch creative work when your energy peaks, save rest and easy tasks for low days, and skip rigid daily schedules.

One of the hardest parts about being an ADHD business owner is sticking to the plan. Sticking to the marketing plan, sticking to the program plan. Even sticking to the plan each and every day seems impossible. So what I like to do to set myself up for success at all times is when I have a high dopamine day, I like to sit down and map out what the plan is for the next two months. From this map, I will create lists of things that I can do on high dopamine days and on low dopamine days. And instead of planning out exactly when I'm going to do each part of this plan, I trust myself to get it done in my own time. Which means that I might spend one day next week writing 20 different posts for LinkedIn and another day doing nothing. But at the end of the day, this plan will make sure that I know exactly what I'm doing and that I'm not falling off track.
