TIPS HERE: One of the biggest things I struggle with because of ADHD is executive dysfunction

TIPS HERE: One of the biggest things I struggle with because of ADHD is executive dysfunction. I know I am not alone with this as executive dysfunction is a common challenge among those with ADHD. If you don’t already know, executive dysfunction disrupts the brain’s ability to regulate and manage higher-level functions. Sometimes it feels like what I said in this video, the desire to do things but feeling stuck. For years I thought it was laziness & a lack of motivation but it’s not. People who struggle with this often: have time blindness have a hard time organizing their thoughts & actions struggle to start projects or complete projects feel unproductive procrastinate forget things easily dissociate struggle with mood Note: this does not just apply to ADHD , but can also occur in other neurodevelopmental or neurological disorders. Here are some tips I have been implementing to help myself & my clients: 1. Break all your tasks into smaller tasks. When I say small, I truly mean small such 5-10 minutes. Larger tasks overwhelm us, we need to make them seem more manageable. 2. Set visual reminders! Put sticky notes around, write things down on paper or even use the background of your home screen to remind you what you need to be done 3. Recently, we had on our podcast who gave the amazing suggestion of doing the most difficult or dreadful task first. Once you get this out of the way, the motivation will follow 4. Establish routines. I know, this is a common suggestion for ADHD but it’s for a reason. Having a consistent schedule can help reduce decision-making fatigue and increase productivity. 5. Have an accountability partner where you both check in one one another and hold each other accountable. This will help you have more of a reason to complete your tasks 6. Make sure your basics are taken care of. Ensure you’re sleeping, eating & moving your body!
