They discuss the importance of goals and planning for individuals with ADHD, strategies to prioritize tasks and address failures, and the significance of scientific research in managing ADHD. The hosts emphasize the need to set realistic expectations, break down goals into subtasks, and be mindful of self-criticism.

ADHD-friendly routines aren’t one-size-fits-all. Skye Rapson discusses building flexible systems around time blindness, transitions and working memory, from planning the day to tackling everyday tasks. They also explore how routines can shift with burnout, new jobs, family changes and the seasons, plus what coaching looks like in practice.

Skye Rapson discusses self-criticism, building routines that fit real life, and making tasks easier to start with dopamine, body doubling, and a “get-in focus” routine. She also shares how her neurodiverse team communicates without relying on email, and why coaching works best when you show up as you are.
