The Working with Real Life The Art of Doing It Badly: A Permission Slip to Stop Waiting for Perfect, (Paperback)

Are you tired of starting over? You make the plan. You feel the momentum. And then, somewhere around week two, it quietly falls apart - and the shame creeps back in. The Art of Doing It Badly is for anyone who has ever gone all-in on a reset and burned out before it stuck. Written by a psychotherapeutic counsellor and ADHD coach who knows this cycle from the inside, this book is a permission slip to stop chasing perfect and start working with real life. No rigid routines. No toxic positivity. No waiting for January, Monday, or the right headspace. Inside you will find practical, science-backed tools to:

• Stop relying on willpower and build habits that actually hold
• Make progress on low-energy days without burning out
• Recover from setbacks without giving up
• Treat an off day as data - not evidence of failure
• Move forward imperfectly, without punishing yourself

This book is not about lowering your standards. It is about removing the pressure that keeps making you quit. Perfect for anyone navigating ADHD, perfectionism, procrastination, or the exhausting cycle of all-or-nothing thinking. Some days will flow. Some will fall apart. That is not failure. That is being human. If you are tired of restarting - this is your Day One.
