Hey friend! ✨
If your brain is anything like mine, it’s basically a wild, overgrown garden of ideas:
One patch has a half-written ebook, another has a random printable you designed at midnight, and somewhere in the back there’s that dusty seed of a podcast idea you planted last summer.
The thing is… starting new seeds? That’s easy.
But watering them, pruning them, and actually bringing one to bloom?
That’s where ADHD turns gardening into a jungle.
The messy truth behind the blooms
I’ve started (and half-finished) at least seven projects that never made it into the sunlight.
Every time a new idea pops up, it feels urgent — like if I don’t plant it right now, I’m letting myself down.
And guess what? That pressure doesn’t help.
Instead, it turns into procrastination, guilt, and a sense of “why bother, I never finish anyway.” a very ” All or Nothing” way of life.
Sound familiar?
If it does, please know: it’s not laziness. It’s the ADHD cycle so many of us live in — full of creativity, hope… and sometimes heartbreak when we can’t see it through.
What finally changed for me
One day, after burying yet another half-finished project in my digital compost pile, it clicked:
“Maybe I don’t have to change who I am to create passive income.
Maybe I can build a garden with my ADHD brain instead of fighting against it.”
So I tried something different:
🌱 Picked one small idea — not the perfect one, just one
🌱 Broke it into micro-steps so tiny they felt almost silly
🌱 Made an “Idea Parking Lot” to plant all the other shiny seeds safely
🌱 Focused on “done is better than perfect” — because perfection never gets a chance to bloom
And guess what?
It worked. 🦋✨
How micro-steps helped me grow
Before, my to-do list looked like:
- “Write ebook”
- “Finish printable bundle”
- “Launch Etsy shop”
Huge. Vague. Overwhelming.
It was like staring at an empty field and thinking, “Build a whole garden — now!”
Now, my list looks like:
- Brain dump messy ideas for 10 minutes
- Write intro paragraph
- Outline three main points
- Design simple cover in Canva
Each task takes maybe 10–20 minutes.
But every time I check one off, my brain gets that satisfying dopamine sprinkle.
And those sprinkles?
They keep me moving — one tiny root at a time.
My first finished product
My first real passive income product wasn’t a 200-page business bible.
It was a mini ebook — around 30 pages, written honestly and imperfectly, based on what finally helped me. It spoke directly to ADHD women like me who have endless ideas but can’t seem to finish them. You don’t need to plant a whole orchard overnight. Sometimes a single blooming flower makes the biggest impact.
A peek inside the ebook
I won’t spoil it all, but here’s some of what you’ll find blooming inside:
🌱 Choosing your first product idea — even when your brain wants to start five at once
🌱 Breaking big projects into micro-steps so you don’t freeze
🌱 A 30-day roadmap to launch your first product
🌱 Creating an Idea Parking Lot to keep your garden organized
🌱 Printable worksheets to track progress, celebrate wins, and keep you moving
🌱 Launching without waiting for perfect — so your idea actually sees the sun

Why this eBook matters to me
This isn’t just about making money (though yes, passive income helps pay for more seeds and coffee).
It’s about proving to myself — and hopefully to you — that:
– We can finish something
– Our ADHD minds aren’t broken; they’re just wildly creative gardens
– Sharing our messy stories can actually help someone else feel less alone
If you’ve felt like you’re always stuck halfway, I promise: it doesn’t have to stay that way.
Not by becoming someone else, but by growing in the way your brain was meant to.
What about the other ideas?
Don’t worry — they’re still there!
They live in my Idea Parking Lot: a notebook (or Trello board) where every shiny seed goes.
This keeps me from panicking: “What if I forget it?”
And it helps me stay focused on watering one plant at a time.
When that first product is launched, then — and only then — do I pick the next seed to grow.
What I learned about ADHD and finishing
- ADHD brains love novelty — so I use tiny new steps every day
- We get overwhelmed by big tasks — so I make them microscopic
- We forget things — so I write everything down, no shame
- Motivation comes after action — not before
By building systems around how my brain naturally works, I stopped blaming myself and started finishing real projects.
You don’t have to do everything
If you take anything from this post, let it be this:
You don’t have to finish every idea right now.
You don’t need to plant the whole garden at once.
You just need to water one seed until it blooms.
When it’s grown? Then you can plant the next.
Want to see exactly how I do it?
I wrote it all down in “Passive Income with ADHD.”
It’s short, relatable, and full of tools designed for our wonderfully distracted minds.
Plus, you get matching worksheets to help your ideas blossom!

Final encouragement
If your mind feels crowded, messy, or chaotic… that doesn’t mean you’re not creative.
It means your garden is alive. 🌿✨
You don’t have to change your ADHD brain.
You only need to build around it — and trust that even small, imperfect steps matter. Your ideas already have wings.
It’s time to let them fly. 🦋
