On this week's episode of Local Legends Martin chats with veteran British broadcaster and host of Folk on Foot Matthew Bannister. In a conversation that folds in some of Matthew's other wonderful projects including The Song Detectorists and Last Word, while Martin and Matthew don't quite go on a wander together, our main focus is Matthew's multi-award winning podcast Folk on Foot, which combines folk music, outdoor walking, and acoustic on-location performances. In each episode, Matthew walks with a prominent folk artist through a landscape that has inspired their craft, capturing natural ambient sounds and intimate live sessions that cast a bit of a spell. Though how does a person go from being a budding fiddle player and chorister from Yorkshire to becoming not just a radio presenter but a BBC Executive, managing a huge whack of TV production for this nation's state broadcaster? Moreover, how has Matthew found routes through to a creative career that has lasted longer than Martin's entire life?We of course get into all that, and, because our theme on Three Ravens this week is Harvest, we'll also be chatting about Matthew's favourite Harvest folk song, his experiences walking across England to raise money for Help Musicians, and so much more. So, gather in close around the Three Ravens campfire and listen in to a conversation about the power of radio, Ley Lines, and what it's like to hang out around the kitchen table with the entire McCarthy and Waterson extended family, with a true Local Legend, Matthew Bannister! Three Ravens is a myth and folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on a historic county, exploring the heritage, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?REGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURVisit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Skye Waterson joins the show to talk about something that hits home for a lot of creatives—why we start everything but finish nothing. She breaks down the connection between ADHD symptoms and creative entrepreneurship, shares her game-changing filter for deciding what actually deserves your attention, and explains why having fewer goals will get you further faster. This one's packed with practical systems that'll help you work with your brain instead of constantly fighting against it. Key Takeaways About 30% of creative entrepreneurs show ADHD symptoms—and most don't even realize it's affecting how they run their business The Filter Framework helps you ask three critical questions before taking on any new project: Does this move my business forward? Can I do this sustainably? Will this create momentum? Having 20 goals for the year means you're building a house of cards that'll collapse the moment something shifts—focus on one domino at a time instead Deep work sessions are most effective when you focus on completing ONE thing across multiple sessions rather than spreading your attention across three different projects each week About Skye Waterson Skye Waterson is the founder of Unconventional Organisation, an international support service for professionals with ADHD. Diagnosed during her PhD after repeated burnout, she's built a business that helps entrepreneurs and executives with ADHD (or suspected ADHD) build sustainable systems, scale their companies, and actually enjoy the process. Her approach is science-backed, realistic, and built around how ADHD brains actually work. In This Episode   [00:00] Welcome to the show!

Today, we're revisiting our conversation with Skye Waterson. Skye is a Doctoral Candidate and ADHD coach who specializes in research-backed tips for navigating life with a neurodivergent brain. We wanted to rebroadcast this episode because our discussion on her book and specifically her approach to calendars and burnout is still some of the most practical advice we've had on the show. Whether you're hearing this for the first time or the second, there is a lot of gold in here. Let's jump back into my talk with Skye Waterson. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at http://hackingyouradhd.com/206 https://www.unconventionalorganisation.com/ This Episode's Top Tips Avoid overcomplicating your organizational tools, and try to rely more on basic principles, such as having a capture space, a prioritization system, and a scheduling system. Aim for 80% consistency with your systems and give yourself grace to bounce back after setbacks. No one will ever follow any system perfectly, so work on choosing tools and systems that can adapt to missed days without derailing your progress entirely. Don't forget to prioritize at least a little fun in your planning. Building dopamine into your day through enjoyable activities can help you stay consistent and avoid burnout.

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____Burnout was Skye Waterson's PhD companion. She'd switch majors—psychology to law to sociology—convinced each time that she just hadn't found her passion yet. The truth was simpler and more complex: she was trying to outwork her undiagnosed ADHD, and no amount of grinding harder was going to fix a brain that needed different systems entirely. By the time she finished her master's thesis, she was so burned out she couldn't even process being offered a guaranteed PhD scholarship. Instead, she worked at a bakery and took art classes until her now-husband asked the obvious question: "Wait, you did a master's? You have a scholarship? What's going on?"The ADHD diagnosis came at the perfect time—right as she was starting her PhD. Instead of seeing it as a limitation, Skye turned her academic brain toward understanding how her mind actually worked. She started researching, writing articles, and building the productivity systems that traditional advice couldn't provide. What began as survival became her calling, and eventually, her business grew so successful that her supervisors encouraged her to leave academia entirely.Now, as founder of Unconventional Organisation, Skye helps entrepreneurs, founders, and executives scale their businesses without scaling their stress. In this conversation, she and Tracy dive into why neurotypical productivity advice fails ADHD brains, how to prioritize when everything feels urgent, and Skye's game-changing approach to delegation using AI. They explore her "recipe" method for breaking down tasks, why the Pomodoro technique wasn't designed for us, and how understanding dopamine timing can revolutionize your work flow.Resources:Website: https://www.unconventionalorganisation.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unconventionalorganisation LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/skye-waterson-026286204 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Instead of Struggling to figure out what to do next?

Her podcast The ADHD Skills Lab has over 200,000 downloads, and her web articles have reached more than a quarter million readers. ​ Skye's belief is that ADHD isn't a flaw to overcome—it's a different operating system that, when properly supported, can be a massive asset.

Ever feel like your business is constantly on fire, with urgent tasks multiplying faster than you can handle them? This conversation with ADHD business coach Skye Watterson delivers the practical framework you've been searching for to break free from the overwhelm cycle.Skye reveals her "Two Minute Focus Formula" (also called the prioritization filter) that transforms how entrepreneurs approach task management. The genius of this system? It acknowledges the specific challenges ADHD entrepreneurs face with executive functioning and working memory, while providing a straightforward method to distinguish between what's truly urgent versus what merely feels pressing. As Skye explains, "Everything else is not urgent. Everything else is in this combination of not urgent or important but not urgent."The episode dives deep into breaking down overwhelming projects, harnessing dopamine through "sensory stacking" to overcome task initiation difficulties, and creating an "idea trellis" to manage creative thoughts without letting them derail your main priorities. Skye's approach stands out because it combines neuroscience research with practical business strategy - addressing both the motivational and tactical aspects of productivity.Perhaps most valuable is Skye's framework for aligning prioritization with business goals. When everything seems equally important, returning to your quarterly objectives provides the clarity needed to make confident decisions about what deserves your attention right now.Whether you have ADHD or simply struggle with the entrepreneurial challenge of competing priorities, this episode delivers immediately applicable strategies to transform your productivity.

Hey team! This week we've got a returning guest - Skye Waterson, founder of Unconventional Organisation and host of the ADHD Skills Lab podcast. Skye's background includes studies in Psychology, Sociology, and Public Health, and she's spent over seven years helping late-diagnosed adults create sustainable ADHD strategies. And one of the exciting things that has come from this episode is that Skye and I are going to be doing a spin-off series of the show that focuses exclusively on the research side of ADHD. In these new episodes, we'll be taking a look at a single research paper and discussing the ins and outs of what the paper says and how it was conducted, as well as trying to give any practical takeaways that will can drum up. Episode lengths are going right back to the origins of this podcast, so we're aiming for something 15-20 minutes long, but packed with information.  Right now, we're just going with the name Research Recap with Skye, so we'll see if we come up with anything a bit more clever than that. Now, if that sounds like something you're interested in, good news, you don't have to do anything; these episodes are going to be coming out on the Hacking Your ADHD feed, so they'll come up right along with all your other podcast downloads. These episodes are going to be coming out every other Friday starting this Friday, July 11th - and as a little preview  we're gonna be talking about a paper called “Evidence of Emotion Dysregulation as a Core Symptom of Adult ADHD: A systematic review” - I know, it sounds riveting, and actually, I think we do a pretty good job with it. But enough on that, let's jump into what this episode you're listening to right now is about. In this episode, we're talking about dopamine and dopamine transfer deficit theory, and Skye lays out her concept of the dopamine dial. We cover everything from how our brains misfire on rewards to fidget toys, and why doom-scrolling on your third screen might not be giving you the kind of stimulation you think it is. This episode is all about dialing it in instead of shutting it all down. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/229 YouTube Patreon This Episode's Top Tips 1. The dopamine dial is a mental model that helps you modulate your level of stimulation, rather than flipping an on/off switch. Instead of quitting stimulating activities all at once (e.g., trying a dopamine detox), you dial down your stimulation in steps. 2. Doing the hard thing now and waiting for the reward later often doesn't land. Instead, we often need to feel a reward during the process, not just at the end. We can use the dopamine dial to reward ourselves with just enough stimulation to stay engaged without pushing our brain into full-blown distraction or burnout mode. It's not about denying ourselves stimulation, it's about using it intentionally and dialing it to the right level. 3. Try negotiating with your brain when you're feeling emotionally overwhelmed or hyper-focused on a desire, such as feeling like you just need to play a video game right now. Try taking a 10-minute breather to reassess those feelings rather than trying to force or deny that urge outright.

Skye Waterson is an ADHD strategist, coach, and the founder of Unconventional Organization. Diagnosed with ADHD during her PhD, Skye developed science-based systems to help entrepreneurs and executives stay focused, follow through, and scale without burning out. Her passion is helping business owners with unconventional brains unlock their superpower of focus in a world full of distractions. On this episode we talk about: Skye's first dollar—classic paper run entrepreneurship and her early lessons in hiring (and overpaying her sister) Her journey from academic “nerd” to entrepreneur, and how her family's focus on education shaped her path Being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and why so many high performers struggle with focus The difference between traditional solutions (like medication) and building custom systems for your brain Why focus is the ultimate entrepreneurial superpower in today's distraction-heavy world Practical strategies for identifying what's truly urgent versus what just feels urgent How to break through “boring,” “confusing,” or emotionally challenging tasks using neuroscience-backed techniques Managing shiny object syndrome and building routines that support working memory and productivity The importance of balancing content consumption and creation as a modern entrepreneur How to build business systems that free up your time and energy for what matters most Top 3 Takeaways Focus is a Superpower: In a world overloaded with distractions, the ability to focus on high-impact tasks is what separates successful entrepreneurs from the rest. Systems Over Willpower: Custom strategies and systems—tailored to your brain—are more effective than relying on medication or brute force alone. Urgent vs. Important: Learning to distinguish between what's truly urgent and what just feels urgent is key to consistent revenue and long-term growth. Notable Quotes “You can get the best strategies and systems, but at the end of the day, it's that consistent focus and time that you need.” “Some of the most successful people I know are either formally diagnosed or self-diagnosed with ADHD—it's their superpower.” “If you can focus on something until that task is completed, that will allow you to have a leg up on all the competition around you.” Connect with Skye Waterson: Connect with Skye Waterson: Instagram: @unconventionalorganisation (DM “makes money” for her Two Minute Focus Formula) Website: http://unconventionalorganisation.com/

Hey Team! This week we've got Skye Waterson of Unconventional Organization back on the show to talk about the book she's working on, Focused, Balanced Days with ADHD. Skye is an academic and ADHD coach with over seven years of experience in adult education. She has studied various fields, including Psychology, Sociology, and Public Health, and is currently a Doctoral Candidate in Population Health. Skye also hosts "The ADHD Skills Lab" podcast, where she discusses research-backed tips and advice to help individuals navigate life with ADHD. Today, as I mentioned, we're going to be getting into her serialized book that she's releasing chapter by chapter as she works through them on Substack. Our discussion today focuses on what's already been released, regarding Skye's ADHD story and executive function but we also get into a whole host of other things from systems and calendars to burnout. If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at http://hackingyouradhd.com/206 If you'd like to checkout Unconventional Organization or sign up for that newsletter go check out https://www.unconventionalorganisation.com/ This Episode's Top Tips Avoid overcomplicating your organizational tools, and try to rely more on basic principles, such as having a capture space, a prioritization system, and a scheduling system. Aim for 80% consistency with your systems and give yourself grace to bounce back after setbacks. No one will ever follow any system perfectly, so work on choosing tools and systems that can adapt to missed days without derailing your progress entirely. Don't forget to prioritize at least a little fun in your planning. Building dopamine into your day through enjoyable activities can help you stay consistent and avoid burnout.
