If you're a solopreneur, consultant, creative, or independent professional, you know there's more to running a business than hustling between deadlines and client meetings. The real challenge? Moving reliably and efficiently between your various roles, priorities, and ideas, especially if you relate to the “ADHD-ish” brain. In this final episode of the three-part Momentum Series, the focus is on the overlooked but critical skill of shifting smoothly. I share practical strategies, frameworks, and rituals to help you master transitions—whether between clients, projects, or shifting from creative to administrative tasks—in a way that reduces friction and avoids brain drain. Of course, no system's perfect. Illness, emergencies, or just a bad day will derail even the best intentions, so I'll also share my three-step strategy for re-entry that totally sidesteps the usual overwhelm. What You'll Learn in This Episode:The Cost of Context SwitchingSwitching between tasks and roles eats up your energy and time, especially with ADHD. Listen for why transitions feel SO exhausting and what's really happening in your brain.The Transition Bridge SystemTrade your mental cliff-jumping for supportive “bridges.” Learn how building small systems makes every future switch easier and less energy-draining.Breadcrumbs You Won't Want to Sweep Up From one-sentence task summaries to two-minute project recaps, discover the magic of leaving yourself notes (not novels) that make picking up where you left off a breeze—and why voice memos count too!Micro and Macro Rituals for Seamless ShiftsReset your brain with quick mini-rituals, and get step-by-step on bigger resets when shifting between wildly different projects or after a disruption (hello, post-vacation slump).Quick Tip from the Episode: Back-to-back client meetings on Zoom? Simply saying your client's name out loud before opening the meeting room can help your brain switch gears and avoid those “oops, wrong person” moments.

It falls flat, feels forced, or gets skimmed over entirely.In this episode, I'm breaking down three essential tips to help you write dialogue that feels authentic, but curated. Natural, but emotionally charged.

Please take our new listener survey - four simple questions that will help me make a better podcast for you! Safe Survey Link Last week we dropped an episode talking about porn addiction. A subject we don't always talk about here on LFPWLI.  If you only had five minutes with our podcast - what would I want you to know? This quick-hits podcast answers that question. Coach Frank had this to say: “You might be a porn addict if you lean on it as your go-to method for stress relief or emotional escape. If every time you feel stressed, anxious, or rejected—perhaps after a long day or a lonely night—you turn to porn for comfort, then it has become your crutch. It's not merely about sexual desire; it's an emotional safety net. Every time you promise yourself it's the last time, but then find yourself back on that screen, it's a clear signal. Look in the mirror. If the man you see isn't someone you're proud of because of this habit, it's time to confront the issue head-on.”   Thank you for being here and if you know someone who needs to hear this, please send it there way.    Much love Mathew    MathewBlades.com
