Freelancing with ADHD: Productivity Strategies That Actually Work
RSVP is required at spjfreelancecommunity@gmail.com
Thursday, June 4, 2026 at 6pm ET
The SPJ Freelance Community has launched a workshop for journalist coping with ADHD. We invite you to join us for “Freelancing with ADHD: Productivity Strategies That Actually Work,” a virtual, hands-on training offered by expert, Jen Brdlik, who is focused on providing proven strategies to help you succeed.
Jen Brdlik, MSW, LMT, BCTMB, is neurodivergent life coach, former mental health therapist, and an ADHD and autism specialist.
Some neurodivergent journalists find themselves distracted in a world of chaos, especially when their brain is wired
differently. The struggle is real. Even if you’re disciplined, your brain may find that it is difficult to balance many things while on assignment.
It’s not unusual for a freelance journalist to pitch stories to an editor, research topics, track down subject matter experts, deal with deadlines, all while working on multiple assignments at once.
Whether you’re a full-time or part-time freelance journalist overwhelmed or on the verge of burnout, this session will help you assess difficulties, deal with pressure and offer tips to keep you calm while you thrive and achieve clarity and control.
RSVP is required at spjfreelancecommunity@gmail.com
When: June 4, 2026, 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm Eastern (U.S.)
Contact: Stacie Overton Johnson (spjfreelancecommunity@gmail.com)
