Five Tools That Keep Me From Quitting

Episode Title: Five Tools That Keep Me From Quitting

Guest: Solo episode with Jill C. Smith

We Discuss:

Why photography is a great fit for creatives with ADHD — and where it can still get overwhelming
Jill’s top 5 business tools that support her ADHD brain
How a missed session became the wake-up call to use a scheduler
Why she’s switching CRMs again — and what finally convinced her
How ChatGPT functions like a thought organizer and assistant
The way AfterShoot removes the dread of task initiation during busy season
Permission to outsource things like laundry, meal prep, or bookkeeping if they’re draining your energy

TLDR:
This solo episode is part of Jill’s ADHD Awareness Month series, and it’s all about the tools that have helped her keep her business afloat despite her executive dysfunction. From schedulers and CRMs to AI assistants and editing software, Jill shares the five tools she leans on the most — not because they’ve “fixed” her ADHD, but because they’ve allowed her to keep showing up in her business when things get hard. If you’ve ever missed a session, avoided your inbox, or stared at a Lightroom folder for hours, you’re not alone — and these tools might just be the thing that help you keep going.
