Chronically Running Late

Episode 2: Chronically Running Late

Episode 2: Skipping the Small Talk

Published 11th February 2026
Riley and Maddy are both well accustomed to procrastinating, and running late- even if they wish they weren’t! Together, they discuss how to get over the hump to starting tasks, make your to-do list less overwhelming, and plan ahead to arrive on time- and the benefits that make the extra effort worth it.
 

Maddy is a serial Empower Autism volunteer and community member, with plenty of insights to offer. In this episode, she draws on her experience as an ADHDer, Empowered Pathways employment support coach, and facilitator for emPOWER UP Life Skill’s Scheduling and Time Management module, to offer advice which is both neuroaffirming and highly relatable.
