From Chaos Goblin to Creative Powerhouse: Finishing Your Work Without Shame

ADHD writers often don’t need more ideas. They need a way to catch, sort, and return to the ideas they already have without spiraling into shame, overwhelm, or a suspiciously urgent need to reorganize the spice cabinet. In this practical, funny, and compassionate session, New York Times contributor and Powerhouse Writers founder Paulette Perhach shares how she learned to build writing systems that work with her neurodivergent brain instead of against it. Drawing from her own experience with distraction, procrastination, and creative chaos goblins, Paulette will show writers how to create a simple, no-shame organization system for their drafts, ideas, goals, and next steps—so their brilliant thoughts stop disappearing into notebooks, inboxes, and the mysterious fog bank known as “I’ll remember that later.”
