ADHD guides
Help with the hard parts of ADHD and work
Eight guides, one for each difficulty that people with ADHD describe most often at work. Each explains what is going on, links to the research, gives strategies you can use today with or without an app, and names the common advice that tends to make things worse.
Not sure which one is yours?
Find the line that sounds most like your week.
| If this sounds familiar | Start with |
|---|---|
| "Five more minutes" on one thing turns into an hour | Time blindness |
| Sitting in front of the task for an hour, doing nothing else either | Task paralysis |
| Reading the list over and over without starting | Decision paralysis |
| Avoiding the app, the inbox or the notebook where the tasks live | Overwhelm |
| Looking up to find three hours gone and a missed meeting | Hyperfocus |
| A long, empty gap after every meeting | Task switching |
| Doing everything else on the list first | Procrastination |
| A task remembered in the shower and gone by the time you sit down | Forgetfulness |
They feed each other
These difficulties rarely come one at a time. When time is hard to feel, deadlines seem far away, and that invites putting things off. A list that is too long makes choosing hard, and not choosing looks exactly like not starting. Forgetting adds tasks back onto the pile at the worst moment.
That is also the good news. Easing one of them usually eases the others. Pick the one that cost you the most this week and start there. If you would like the whole picture first, read the guide to ADHD task management. If you are wondering whether ADHD is what you are dealing with, the free self-check takes three minutes.
