ADHD Entrepreneur: Balancing Chaos and Creativity With How You Prepare For Meetings

Living with ADHD is like having a bustling carnival of thoughts and ideas in your mind, constantly vying for your attention. As a high-energy real estate maven with a penchant for embracing life's quirks, I've learned that while preparation is crucial, there's an intriguing dance between being well-prepared and succumbing to the pitfalls of over-preparation.

The Allure of Over-Preparation:

In a world where "more is more" seems to be the mantra, the appeal of over-preparing is undeniable. The notion that by meticulously over-analyzing every detail, we can master any situation, is enticing. After all, as someone who thrives on challenges, it's easy to get caught up in the idea that leaving no stone unturned is the key to success.

The Paralysis of Analysis:

However, here's where the plot thickens. With ADHD in the mix, the fine line between preparation and over-preparation can be easily blurred. The same vibrant mind that generates ingenious ideas can become ensnared in a web of analysis paralysis. We've all been there—the point where exhaustive preparation leads to second-guessing, self-doubt, and a fear of missing the mark.

The Goldilocks Principle:

As someone who turns the spotlight on the real estate stage, I've come to appreciate what I call the "Goldilocks Principle" of preparation. Just as Goldilocks sought the perfect porridge, chair, and bed—finding the one that's "just right"—we, too, need to strike a balance. Over-preparing can stifle spontaneity, hamper creativity, and drain the energy that's our trademark.

The Power of Adaptability:

Being high-energy doesn't mean being inflexible. In fact, harnessing the dynamo within us means embracing adaptability. Over-preparation can inadvertently restrict our ability to pivot, adjust, and seize unforeseen opportunities that can arise during meetings, negotiations, and interactions.

The Liberating Middle Ground:

So, how do we avoid the over-preparation trap? It's about finding the liberating middle ground. It's about acknowledging our ADHD-driven enthusiasm while also recognizing that perfection is an elusive quest. Instead of overwhelming ourselves with excessive preparation, we can focus on honing our strengths—swift thinking, a knack for connection, and a flair for navigating the unexpected.

Conclusion:

As a trailblazing real estate influencer and the driving force behind the Meyer Lucas Team, I've realized that our energy and enthusiasm are our biggest assets. Over-preparation might seem like a safety net, but it can limit our true potential. Let's embrace our vibrant minds, capitalize on our strengths, and venture into meetings and endeavors with a blend of readiness and adaptability. In the symphony of life, it's not about having every note perfectly scripted; it's about finding the rhythm that lets us shine amidst the symphony's vibrant chaos. 🎵🌟
