#135 Using Chat GPT & AI to support your ADHD brain
Ever stared at a task so overwhelming you’d rather clean the oven or pull weeds than even look at it?
In this episode, I’m sharing how I used ChatGPT to go from frozen in overwhelm to finally taking action and how you can use AI tools to make ADHD life easier too.
We’ll talk about why AI is such a powerful support for ADHD brains (hello executive function struggles!), how it can help reduce cognitive overload and the simple ways it can lighten your daily mental load.
You’ll also learn:
- How ChatGPT can act like your executive function assistant
- Practical prompts to try for planning, prioritising, and getting unstuck
- Things to be mindful of (accuracy, boundaries, privacy, and even the environmental impact)
- Plus, a few other ADHD-friendly AI tools I love—like Goblin Tools, Otter.ai, Grammarly, Wispr Flow, and Consensus
AI isn’t here to replace your sparkly brain - it’s here to support it.
So grab your curiosity, open ChatGPT, and start playing. The learning is in the doing.
