Emily Farris, I'LL JUST BE FIVE MORE MINUTES: And Other Tales from My ADHD Brain

Writer and podcast host Emily Farris joins Zibby to discuss I’LL JUST BE FIVE MORE MINUTES, a hilariously honest and heartwarming essay collection about life, love, and finally getting an ADHD diagnosis at age 35. Emily and Zibby start by discussing the prevalence of ADHD among creative women and its misperception as a young boy's condition. Then, Emily discusses her journey to an ADHD diagnosis and its impact on her life. She delves into her struggles with alcohol, how she manages relationship and work challenges, her experiences during 9/11, and her coping mechanisms for managing executive dysfunction, such as setting multiple alarms and using calendar reminders.
