In this episode of Organizing an ADHD Brain, Megs talks with Steven Puri — ADHD-diagnosed entrepreneur, former film executive, and founder of Sukha — about flow states, distraction, and what it actually takes to focus in a world engineered to pull your attention away.

Steven shares his journey from engineering and Hollywood to building a company centered on sustainable focus for neurodivergent brains. Together, they explore:

• What flow state really is
• Why ADHD brains struggle with long to-do lists and context switching
• The nervous system layer of distraction
• Why hiding all but your top three tasks increases follow-through
• How finishing one meaningful task a day shifts identity

Steven explains Sukha’s “friendly nudge” approach — gently asking, “Is this helping you?” instead of harshly blocking websites — and how redefining productivity as time for what truly matters (family, creativity, community) changes everything.
