“If we march into that village and we start trying to persecute people for using poison, something that's very illegal, nobody's going to talk to us. We're not going to find out where the poison came from. We're not going to be able to shut anything down. We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist.

E260: Are You Lazy and Procrastinating or Prioritizing for Later? 17:39

27 days ago17:39

17:39

HOT TAKE: I don’t believe people with ADHD are lazy. There is a reason that they don’t want to or can’t do the thing, and when you untangle that obstacle, voila! It’s easier to get things done. How do you know the difference between procrastinating and prioritizing for later? There are some things in life we can’t avoid, so how do you deal with them? How do you know when it truly is not the time for certain tasks and feel okay setting them aside without worrying if you’ll never remember them again? Here’s a clip from Successful Mama Meetups during our month themed "Procrastination or Burnout? (How to tell the difference between when you need rest & when you’re avoiding something)” because the mamas requested this topic. You’re not alone in this. I’m sharing supportive strategies for dealing with too many tasks – many of them unappealing – and not enough time to do them all. Understanding ADHD's impact on prioritizing makes a huge difference in how you deal with the never-ending to do list of adulting and parenting. Let’s dive in!
