In this episode of the ADHD Goals podcast, host Laurence Pratt delves into the urgency effect—a phenomenon where individuals with ADHD exhibit intense focus and productivity under pressure. Laurence explains how and why the urgency effect occurs, linking it to neurological aspects like dopamine levels, time perception, and procrastination. While the urgency effect can lead to impressive bursts of productivity, it's not a sustainable strategy. Laurence offers practical strategies for managing the urgency effect, such as creating artificial deadlines, breaking down tasks, incorporating rewards, using timers, leveraging accountability, building routines, and practicing emotional regulation. These techniques aim to foster consistent productivity, improved quality of work, reduced stress, and enhanced time management. Listeners are encouraged to share their experiences and strategies for managing the urgency effect, and to subscribe to the podcast for more insights. 00:00 Introduction to the ADHD Goals Podcast 00:58 Understanding the Urgency Effect 01:44 The Science Behind the Urgency Effect 03:20 Pros and Cons of the Urgency Effect 04:36 Strategies to Manage the Urgency Effect 06:26 Benefits of Reducing Dependence on Urgency 07:15 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 07:58 Subscribe and Stay Connected Need Help with your ADHD?
