How to Reset After an Unproductive Week (Without the Shame Spiral)

That “What Did I Even Do This Week?” Feeling

You know that feeling when the week’s almost over and you look around wondering… what did I even do?

You had good intentions.
A to-do list.
Coffee.
Maybe even a Monday plan.

But somewhere between unexpected client drama, brain fog, scrolling, and all the tabs you left open, your motivation ghosted—and now you’re left with a whole lot of guilt and not a lot of progress.

First: This Is Not a Personal Failure

Here’s what I need you to know:
This doesn’t mean you’re lazy. Or unmotivated. Or doomed.
It just means you’re human. And likely navigating a brain (hello, ADHD) that needs more support, not more pressure.

Because what most productivity advice tells you is:
"Just power through."
"Block time on your calendar."
"Wake up earlier."

And honestly? That kind of rigidity usually backfires. Especially if you’re already teetering on the edge of burnout or self-doubt.

Stop the Shame Spiral Before It Starts

So what actually works?

Start by interrupting the shame spiral.
No, really. You cannot hate yourself into momentum. Trust me, I’ve tried.

The truth is, when things feel hard, the last thing we need is a complicated “reset plan” that requires Olympic-level focus and a brand-new routine.

We need something simple. Gentle. Repeatable.
And most importantly—something that works with your brain, not against it.

3 ADHD-Friendly Ways to Reset and Rebuild Momentum

Here are a few of the strategies I teach inside my programs that’ll help you get back on track (without spiraling):

1. Pick one micro win to aim for today
   
   Doesn’t matter if it’s a 2-minute email or finally opening that Google Doc you’ve been avoiding. Choose something that signals to your brain: “I’m in motion.”
   
2. Anchor that action to something you already do
   
   Coffee? Dog walk? First Instagram scroll of the day? Cool. Pair it with a quick breath, a mantra, or even just checking in with how you're feeling. This creates consistency without needing a full new system.
   
3. Ditch the “all or nothing” thinking
   
   And if you’ve been with me in the 6-Figure Show-Up Formula, you already know what’s coming:
   Good. Better. Best.
   Stop expecting “all or nothing” effort.
   What’s the good version of showing up today? Do that.
   Better is a bonus. Best is optional.

You Don’t Need to Catch Up—You Just Need to Start Again

You don’t need to catch up.
You just need to start again—with compassion.
