Deep dives

The Root Cause of Poor Follow Through

Poor follow through is a common struggle for adults with ADHD, often leading to a disconnect between their performance and potential. The pain and frustration that comes from this gap can be overwhelming. Addressing the root cause of poor follow through is essential for lasting change. There are two avenues to tackle this issue: external and internal solutions. External solutions involve implementing systems, tools, and strategies that support memory, organization, and time management. However, if the root cause is internal, relying on external solutions will not yield long-term results. Internal solutions involve addressing faulty thinking patterns and beliefs that contribute to unproductive behavior. Changing thinking patterns is crucial to breaking the cycle of poor follow through. By addressing the underlying root cause, individuals can overcome their struggles and live a more fulfilling life.
