"Chipping Away" is a blog post by Adela Baker, ADHD coach and founder of Mind Coach, LLC in New Orleans. Written during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, it uses the tournament's dopamine-driven pull, along with the neuroscience of compulsion versus deliberate choice, as a lens for a much older question: how do we find belonging that lasts? Drawing a contrast between FIFA's profit-driven, deadline-bound model and two donation-funded, generations-long projects, the Crazy Horse Memorial and the newly completed Sagrada Família, the post explores how Turbo Thinkers® can redirect the same craving for connection and quick dopamine relief toward something slower, more intentional, and rooted in personal values. It closes with coaching questions on identifying what truly matters, building community where everyone wins, and chipping away at meaningful work a little at a time.

ver bought something shiny, only to get bored once the novelty faded? For Turbo Thinkers, chasing the "bright and shiny" is easy—but maintaining it is the real challenge. Discover how to navigate the neurodivergent dilemma of novelty vs. maintenance, and learn when to "resparkalize" your habits, relationships, and career, and when it’s finally time to let go.
