ADHD-Friendly Prioritization, the Dopamine Dial, and Consistency with Skye Waterson

This episode is one I was especially giddy about—I had the absolute joy of talking to Skye Waterson, ADHD coach, podcast host, and founder of Unconventional Organisation, about all things ADHD and business.

Skye’s personal ADHD journey began mid-PhD and led her from academia to coaching and podcasting, now supporting professionals and business owners with strategies to create focused, balanced, and sustainable lives. We talk about the real struggles many ADHD entrepreneurs face—overwhelm, inconsistency, scaling—and the specific systems and tools that actually help.

This episode is filled with compassionate, research-backed advice (and some really fun dopamine-friendly hacks). Whether you have ADHD or just relate to the symptoms, there is so much gold in this conversation.

What we covered in this episode:

✅ The real reasons ADHD brains struggle with organization, consistency, and scaling

✅ Skye’s "prioritization filter" method to tackle overwhelm

✅ Her dopamine dial routine for getting started on hard tasks

…and much more
