Deep dives
The Power of Body Doubling and Flow Club
Flow Club is an online co-working club that offers ADHD individuals accountability and structure to tackle their to-do lists. During a Flow Club session, participants share their goals with a small group and work on their tasks for 50 minutes. It breaks down overwhelming tasks into manageable goals and provides flexibility in scheduling sessions. Building intentional routines and externalizing ADHD symptoms can help bridge the gap between knowledge and execution.
Understanding ADHD and Executive Functions
ADHD affects the connection between knowledge and execution. Dr. Russell Barkley explains that ADHDers have wisdom and knowledge stored in the back of the brain, but struggle with utilizing executive functions stored in the prefrontal cortex. This leads to an execution problem rather than an intelligence problem. Developing intentional routines and externalizing ADHD challenges can help connect what one knows with what one does.
Coaching Yourself and Finding Solutions
Coaching tools can help individuals with ADHD understand how their symptoms get in the way and find solutions. Identifying the main challenges, determining triggers, and differentiating between internal and external factors are important steps. By shifting mindset from victimhood or hopelessness to curiosity and openness, individuals can explore various strategies to manage symptoms. Implementing small changes, such as organizing workspaces or prioritizing tasks, can build compensatory methods and leverage strengths.
